Awesome, awesome, awesome!
I think when it comes out, we will do everything to switch to Houdini from Max asap(we started the preparations), and switch back to Vray from Corona or preferably use Karma if it’s fits our purposes(hope so).
You need 1-1,5 year before Karma becomes Mantra replacement, so far it will be possible to use it in LOPs only (directly).
This looks sweet! I’m wondering if we can benefit much in our smaller productions, but the speed and flexibility looks great. Awesome new addition!
We run a small operation, and since we standarized the pipeline we don’t work long nights, the revisions are reliable, there is real teamwork and projects take less time overall, which makes in turn everyone happy, LOPS are very very very promissing to make everything more reliable and at the end of the day this reliability defines you as a professional workshop vs a hobbist
will this be a serperate product and/or a new context inside houdini?
New context inside houdini, indie user are getting it too!
