…With some more new questions! These may be stupid or already answered questions but I was wondering…
1) How much is renderplus for houdini escape? This seems like it would be a really popular option, but I simply couldn't find any info on it (maybe it's too expensive, maybe it's dead…?). I found a year old thread about it, but the pricing was in a dead link .
2) How long has the particle SOP been available in houdini select/escape? I thought I looked for it in version 5.5 or 6.0 and it was only in master. But come to think of it, I didn't know anything about houdini back then (or now hehehe) so maybe it was just POPs that was missing.
3) Does this program kick total ass or is it just me? :p
4) Are DOPs completely new in houdini 8? I'm sure they must've evolved from something, was the addition of DOPs a massive new feature set?
5) Can anyone give me a quick run down of the changes made to houdini? I read that POPs were added in houdini 2.5(?). What year was that? How long have houdini Select/Escape been available? If possible, can anyone just layout a “timeline” with or without approximate years… (I'm just curious because it seems to me like this program is really advancing… while my native 3D programs… are not hehe).
