Hi,

I understand the Indie version for Houdini is already quite a good deal.
I was thinking though, it seems like a missed opportunity for SideFX not to do any kind of sale during this difficult times. It´s a very “SideFX” thing to do to help artists when things go south. At least the SideFX I´ve grown to know during all these years.

It is always on sale compared with other more expensive and more limited programs. Apprentice is free, if you want an incredible deal.

oh, I agree that it´s quite cheap. Apprentice does not allow to export to real time engines (understandably) so it´s not useable to practice that stuff.
This being said, it´s not always “on sale”. On sale implies cheaper than usual, and it´s not cheaper than before lockdown. If anything it has gone slightly up in the last couple of years.

I´m not saying it´s not worth it at all. Surely you can infer from the date that I joined this forum that I understand quite well the product.
I just think SideFX has missed a beat by not throwing a helping hand.
