Apologies Paulo, my response was a tad tetchy. I see a lot of people give up on Houdini simply because it's so different to working in any other DCC. It's very similar to the reaction some artists have with ZBrush. Because it's so alien they give up and use Mudbox instead simply because it feels more familiar. I suppose what I was attempting to say was that it helps to try understand why Houdini's designed the way it is, as that knowledge can calm any initial disorientation. The combination of the new network editor, radial menus and a boolean system that simply works without fear of nasty surfacing makes H16 easier than ever to adapt to. But at it's core the it's still the same Houdini. On 22 February 2017 at 16:47, Jonathan Moore <[email protected]> wrote: > I think Matt Estela summed up Houdini most succinctly for me.
