I made the leap over to Houdini for one year to do this project http://vimeo.com/61021558
We considered doing the whole thing in Houdini...rigging as well but in the end we did a Maya Animation/Houdini fur lighting and rendering it all in Mantra. We advertised looking for Houdini riggers and didn't get a single application, the reason I bring this up. So sadly Maya it was as you can't throw a stone without hitting a Maya rigger. The render times were ridiculously quick and sideFx was the best customer service experience I've had to date.
