The usual progression is Lightwave or MAX, then Maya or Soft, then Houdini.

guess I am “evolving” along the right path then

rafal !! thank you very much, you're the man … it worked.

for the time being I'm running a Dell optiplex 330 , a 2,3 GHz core 2 and one giga ram…a built in display card… XP SP3, it runs MAYA pretty well to some extend , but current apprentice version of houdini keeps crashing and and fails to even change the viewport , the thing that makes the learning curve on this machine really steep.
thank you
