Hey Guys,

Sorry I have not posted much lately I have been really busy. I finally got some free time so I came on here to post. I was wondering since I am looking at buying a copy of Houdini here probably within the next few months, is DOPS in the new houdini version only going to be in Master or is it going to be in Escape also?

Cheers,

i was actually wondering about this too.. i figured it would probably only be in master, but it sure would be nice to allow escape to have it as well..

does anyone know if you can buy escape and purchase extra things to add to it? for example, if i couldn't afford master, could i get escape and say add on POPs for a certain price?

Hey Guys,

Well I was thinking it would even be nice if they just did a SOP DOPs like they did with POPs for the Escape Verison. I mean you can get alot of other 3D packages that do Rigid body dynamics for around $2,000. I would not expect the full DOPS system in Escape. I do feel like SESI needs to make a good margin on the DOPS system they developed but I would still like to see a lower end stripped down version for Escape. It would be very useful for character animation. I love the inflate tool. I didn't realise it was based on point geospacial collision. Thats smart, and I need to scratch poly to nurbs switch system I made for Skeleton Rig. I was just assuming it would be based on geometry collision like maya and other packages. Thats what I get for not fully reading up on the details of the new operators I am using. lol Oh well I still have some other ideas for it too. Yeah I will let you guys know whatever I find out.

Cheers,
