I suppose at the pace sideFX are steamrolling their app, it could be a functional animation software given a year or two. But thats just a guess from my side, maybe someone could comment on that who has a bit more knowledge on H. Then it could easily snap out the mayas position of industry leader, I just wish indy version would support the redshift plug in thats coming out, that would make it a no brainer for me personaly as to where i would pledge my allegiances to..
