I tried Maya for a year....
I got so depressed with what my life became, that I decided to go for
Houdini full time.
If choosing Houdini meant that I no longer could find work as a
freelancer, I was happier to start a new career, than living out my days
using maya.
I's been 2 years, and I've been busier and happier than even in the
softimage era.
Houdini engine means I can even work in a Maya team if we plan stuff
properly.
I also get to go home at 5 and watch the Maya team stay late because
clients always change shit.

From a personal perspective It's Houdini for me. Maya will only get
worse the more they dick about with it and having to buy a shed load
of plugins just to make it usable is too expensive for most
freelancers. I've also much more faith in SideFX to keep providing me
with evolving software.

*Subject:* Opinion gathering
I've been looking at houdini, liking it a lot, but what houses in
London are switching to it? Or am I, once again choosing the underdog
software (Combustion, anyone?)
Also, if I recommend it as the main software where I usually work,
will they be able to get Houdini people that are generalists, are
enough of us switching?
Just throwing these out there to gather the mood.
Cheers all
