@Paulo, yesterday I just shattered my first model procedurally. I was in joy when I ported the result to .abc back to softimage. It picked up nicely. All I will say is: why didn't I jumped immediately from softimage Eol (2014) to this? Regardless, today's the 21th and finally Hu16 will show it's complete set of virtues. I am thinking probably cybermonday (november) will come around with some kind of good offer for Hu16 price. Redshift is a golden duet and Clarisse seems to finish the combo (as in: Let's compose in Clarisse).
Cheers.
