So you mean ,that u expect Compositors working in production using Houdini for comp someday ,and I am talking about all the AAA vfx studios in the world! I don't see this happening unless the compositing module of houdini can also be launched as a standalone app.If that can happen maybe yes , I would love to learn and use sidefx product for compositing!

I would actually say the rest of Houdini would increase the possibilities of compositing/image manipulation massively (if the integration is tight). You would have an incredible particle system, volumes, TOPs to automate, CHOPs and a general fully fledged 3d environment that Nuke or Fusion won't compare to.
For more simple jobs, you might not need all this stuff, but for more complicated shots this would be awesome to combine and utilize.

And creating a 'compositing' workspace that compositers would start Houdini in, would probably be enough to not distract from the main compositing-tasks I imagine?

All in all, I'm really excited to see what Sidefx would come up with! Even if it probably won't be in the near future.

I really hope this happens for us compositors

Why not build a standalone Compositing app? We need some real competition to Nuke or it will remain the same for next 20 years too! Most Compositors are completely fed up with lack of development and legacy bugs!

Not required, have you seen the price tag from nuke vs houdini core?
Houdini core is 2k$
Foundry Nuke is 5k$

If houdini core/fx can replace nuke in the production nobody needs a standalone composition app.
