Personally, I'm really hoping the Redshift team tackles Houdini after they're done with the Max plugin. Maybe they'll go for something like Modo or Cinema4D, but let's hope for Houdini! Until then I think we'll keep Soft+RS as our main rendering step, and Houdini as a intermediary step for simulations and volume-type renders. But who knows, maybe Matra steps up, it's definitely changed a lot over the years as far as I can tell.
