Yes, you are correct, and I didn't want to divert the original question.
It is a question that needs answering, although I highly doubt they will be
able to answer it in terms of
dates. However, a road map would be a good idea, for anyone left who

Hi Graham
Apart from a shot experience using Maya I also did the same with Houdini.
And again i was rendering. With Houdini I was frustrated the first few days

but we don’t have the trust in Autodesk to come up with something like that.

There was plenty time since 2008..
I wish you and the rest me team god luck and will carry on elsewhere.
