Hi Jordi, When the dust settles with your survey and you have an idea of how many people would be interested and what they would be interested in. You might consider an indiegogo campaign to cover costs up front.
Also, as i understand it, this was written from your point of view as a Softimage user transitioning into Houdini, but I'm wondering if anyone who is interested in getting into Houdini could benefit from it. Has anyone at Side Effects commented on the body of your work?
