Just wanted to add a brief note for those who could not make it on Monday's Houdini H15 presentation.

The event was packed and although I wished the venue was bigger it felt very cozy and friendly as usual.

The show was awesome and the technology that Side Effects has managed to put into this release in less than a year since H14 is simply mind blowing.

Pretty much all areas have been touched and what a year ago felt a massive job feels yet again another monumental. From rigging to crowds, from Materials to FX, from animation to modelling… incredible.

Just a massive thanks for listening, the work done is outstanding and reflects a clear vision and will to embrace other communities like Softimage into the Houdini family.

Thanks Jordi! Can not wait to play with it. Except materials are there any other improvements for Mantra?

yippie ki-yay !!!

I would love to break the news but honestly, I think I would steal from you the surprise, H15 looks incredible.

Grrrrr

Any plans to put the London presentation online before the 15th?

And that means ?…

Do we get rid of that unique grayish background eventually? I`d like some really popping colours, Like Green and Red All through the UI !!!

And what disturbs me more is that wasted screen estate all for that useless toolbars 'n stuff, ya know?….
