Yeah, Bifrost will never come close to ICE because it's ADSK. Remember what happenend to Lagoa. It was a bomb when it came out in 2010. Thiago Costa did amazing work to release version 1.0 of Lagoa. ADSK bought it and it never get any further attention. It was kept at version 1.0! No further development and Lagoa got buried. I'm not saying that Lagoa is on par with Houdini, it's surely not. But the power of Lagoa got wasted.

Maya has recently got pretty close to catching up to XSI 5 and in less than another five or six years Bifrost should be on par with Moondust, and now Houdini has almost caught up to XSI of Lagoa times. By this pace in less than 74 years for Maya, and only a dozen or so for Houdini, we'll be where we would have been next year had Soft not been killed! Totally looking forward to 2026 and 2089! The snow is pretty cool though :) On Fri, Jan 16, 2015 at 12:11 AM, Sven Constable <[email protected]> wrote: Snow and sand reminds me of lagoa in Softimage on steroids. Go Houdini!
