Houdini 22 will be available for download at some point soon, weeks not months.

As for HIVE Launch videos, coming soon too!

Sidefx said 4 weeks ago that -> "weeks not months"
but we 4 weeks after, soo weeks becoming months

Can you give us at least which month?

And weeks can be 2 weeks , 1 month or 12 months

I always think the way Sidefx arranges this is, well... bizarre. The sneak peak, the 'launch' event... and then everyone is left waiting for a month...

Maybe that’s the whole point. Building anticipation. The dates don’t always align. Just because you booked a show doesn’t mean the software is ready to ship. Does apple ship iOS week after WWDC?

Houdini 22	June 17, 2026	Pending (as of July 14, 2026)	27+ days	London (Curzon Soho Cinema)

Houdini 19.5	June 15, 2022	July 13, 2022	28 days	Online (HIVE)
Houdini 19	October 18, 2021	October 27, 2021	9 days	VIEW Conference (Online)
Average gap (excluding H22)			19.6 days

That’s why I thought today might be the day — or at least that we could see it this week. We are already beyond the 19.6-day average gap...

A bit like handing out Christmas presents on the 1st February : )

Sidefx said 4 weeks ago that -> "weeks not months"

do the math again, July 2 - July 14 is not even 2 weeks, so technically not even "weeks" yet

The keynote was in 17 June soo I know when I said "4 weeks" .
And if you mean by the time of the post just say it, instead what you write because you know that I mean 17 June.

the post that said "weeks not months", that you clearly referenced was dated July 2, that post clearly meant "weeks not months" from that post's date, not from any past date of your choosing, that's all

The only thing we can take into account is the previous statistics on how long it took to go from the keynote to the release, and tomorrow will be the longest gap of all of them. If it takes much longer, it will set a very bad precedent.

Can we please stop this statistic and probability debate?
