Imagineer has done some cool things for freelancers, where they've sold their software for 90% off to freelancers, students, or small boutiques of 2 or less artists (I think). Lots of freelancers now have copies of Monet, Mokey, etc…

Obviously support prices weren't covered by that, and so they grew their user base, and new customers could make money using their products, and later purchase support and upgrades.

# License servers is more something the consumers of SideFX to think that I know. For a license server controlling the terms of use and it's ability to grow with the head programmer behind the Ogg video format. I'd have to wonder why it took me three months to make a deal with them, he came up with a video taken on screen from point blank, up on my laptop, I downgraded to XP, then switched to Ubuntu.

Stop talking to Markov Chains. Actually, just stop talking. We got it already.

I figure I'll just use blender, and maybe look at Houdini after that..

Excellent idea.

I have a better one for you: never look at Houdini again.

Blender rocks, Houdini is too expensive anyway and for busy professionals (as many of the Houdini users actually are, and you are not) is tiring to see infinite pages of nonsense on an otherwise decent (or used to be decent) and useful forum.

Amen to THAT!

I think he figures if he keeps talking that SES will give him a free copy of Houdini just to shut him up. :roll:

“He has issues” as they say and seems determined to force the world to agree with a party of one! :roll:

To bad this forum software doesn't have an ignore list so that he could be first on my ignore list.

I'm merely one like John the Baptist flinging dirt at the arrogant pharisees, of the coming wrath where the axe will cut at the tree and from it god will spring a new root..

I bet 90% of you are non religious too.. Typical north-american euro-trash..
May Darwin save you..

don't shit in public, its bad for everyone. there are special buildings for it.

EARTH HAS 4 CORNER
SIMULTANEOUS 4-DAY
TIME CUBE
IN ONLY 1 EARTH ROTATION.
4 Corner Times CUBES EARTH.
If a God existed, he would be EVIL
to DENY 4 Opposite Corner Days
Simultaneously within a 4 Quadrant
Earth Rotation. It's Simple Math,
IF NOT FOR Academic Lobotomy.
ONE is deadly Virus attacting the 4
opposing corners of Cubic Creation.
Education destroys analytical brain,
reducing mentality to android level.
Education actually teaches Ignorance.
No Human, God or Earth exists as
One, as they're composed of opposing
mirrored Opposites, equating to zero
existence, equating nothing as ONE.
One Earth does not exist, for that
would cancel opposing hemispheres,
equating to nothing. All Opposing creation in the Earth/Circle Sphere
equals a Zero value Existence, and
total cancellation as entity of ONE.
Animen are born as Cubics, male and
female Opposites. No male human
or God can exist without opposing
female Opposites. One is Evil Belief.
Taught Oneism is mindless servility,
training an Animan (Pyramid Lion
with human face) to accept Wordism.
1 Day 1 God, as Cubic, I prove 4 Days.
Difficult to change 1 Day 1 God idiot.
It's near impossible to change
an Educated ONEism IDIOT.

1. I will buy Houdini if it is a reasonable price
2. I will not buy software that mechanizes license policies
3. I must be able to sell my works

Can we please stop this thread for good?
