There's a no shortage of high paying jobs for houdini fx artists in Vancouver. Most studios already have it integrated in their pipelines to some degree. Small studios who don't already use it might gripe about the cost, but the big players lean on it heavily. Most studios don't have more than one or 2 licenses for c4d. And that's for 300+ artists. Modo has been nice but aside from modeling, it isn't heavily integrated into a lot of pipelines out here (call me out if I'm wrong)
I'm on a dev team for a new pipeline in film. We're really pushing a lot of real time work flow. Lots of layout and viewing happens in UE4. IMHO the real time rendering is going to start to take over in the next couple years. Prerendered UE4 will pass for most TV quality animation. I'm using clarisse's new renderer and it's been a dream. It's quickly becoming my favorite over redshift for shear polygon muscle. I had 180 billion polygons (no proxy) in a scene on my laptop the other day. Still running 90 fps like a champ. Maya is still too popular for animation (though soft is still king for animation), so it never hurts to know a bit. I find it easy to write simple tools in Maya. Though I'm literally throwing a block party the day it dies. Testing Ziva dynamics right now too. It's a dream within a dream. Still hanging on for fabric to really come into its own. Sidenote: ( I hope this isn't hijacking, it's related ) I used to run crowds with ice. Massive before that. What's the beat on crowds now? I'm about to run golaem though it's paces but I'm a little rusty on the crowd scene. All that aside... I just spent 2 days on the phone with autodesk trying to get them to take my damn money and sell me more soft licenses.
