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?

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

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

FYI, during the keynote livestream they also said “weeks not months”.

No need to be so dramatic lmao. What bad precedent? It's not like that studios would bleed money because they can only access H22 one week later.

Honestly, the past few releases are the bad precedents as how unstable they were at release. I'd rather SideFX to take a bit of time to fix bugs and the freaking vulkan viewport instead of rushing it.

Locking this thread. Reminder: be civil to one another. Don't make me whip out my ban-hammer again.
