I’m with you Jordi. I think the greatest opportunity here is harnessing the experience of the Softimage artist community but cross fertilising it with Houdini artists that know how to mine Houdini’s rich possibilities. I think it could end up a an interesting diversion but noting essential to the Houdini community as a whole if it’s perceived to be something that’s been created purely to ease the path for former Softimage artists. The Houdini community are quite hardcore in their defence of an environment that has enabled them to create stunning work so we need to be careful that we’re not seen as berating Houdini for what it’s not rather than engaging in the possibilities if what is and can be.
It was with that in mind that I thought that H20 felt an interesting territory. Not that I’m precious about that actual name but it feels an interesting creative territory that’s an evolution from ICE. The aspect of ICE that I think is richest as a collaborative genus is ICE’s approachable user experience. It’s something that draws artists in to deeper possibilities whereas Houdini often feels like your three levels in to an awesome game that only reveals it’s greatness once your eight levels in. Al least that’s what’s often like for me on a regular basis.

Not only that, traditional Houdini artists may find these tools useful too? I guess what I am trying to say is, Softimage is dead, let's move on to an even better place rather than hang around in old memories.
