I'm following the latest developments of Houdini with great enthusiasm.
We all know that Houdini is on on par with Maya, XSI & Co when it is up to to features and tools, but the rest of the world is stil quite sceptical regarding usabilty and GUI of Houdini. I guess giving rebirth to the Apprentice competition could be a great way to spread the word, get new users into the world of Houdini and get some nice results to show off!!!

I guess it would be cool to see this competition in a nearby future!!!
