>How many schools are training students using Houdini as the main application?
Is it relevant? I have not argued more schools should teach Softimage. I have argued its perceived value, encouraged by Autodesk, is lower than it should be (keep in mind I'm not putting it in comparative relation to any other application). Besides, Houdini is top of its niche and Sidefx didn't buy Softimage so it can quietly coexist under Houdini. RE: learning more than one This is a nice argument but, ideally, you'd prefer the software you put time into pay off in the end, right? Not fear for your chances because you're not nearly as prolific in a different one... Anyway, it was wrong of me to bring personal worries into discussion... It is worth saying this cycle of studios avoiding soft because of a smaller talent pool, and the pool getting even smaller as a result, is going to have an effect eventually. If it didn't already.
