Hi Jason, I've seen that link spread around a couple of times. And I've kind kept quiet about it since it is indeed educational. Just a heads up though, Houdini particles have recently been rewritten and unified into the Dynamics Operators context. So where the evaluation comparison between an ICE tree and a VOP network might still hold valid, the particle performance overall in production is so much faster than before.
