Hi.
I've been asked to write a Houdini wishlist for a guy who's doing an article for 3D world magazine and I thought it would be better if I had a broader opinion. This is what he wants…….

I'm working with ********on 3DW at the moment, putting together an

You can wish for what you want. You could even wish that there be no more wish lists. Ever.

well houdini being able to run on all the major platforms except for mac.
i guess it would be nice to see an OSX version of houdini, and I mean I want nice clean looking gui with new icons. other than that I really can not think of anything that houdini does not have, of course i feel that i know only about 10% whats going on under the hood. i am not sure if mantra supports global illumination or not but that would sure be nice to see. but don't quote me on that.
cheers
