That is the most HOUDINI answer ever!

I listened 50 minutes of your guy and I did not understand a thing.
Maybe it is beyond my intellectual abilities?

For me, programming and making 3DCG is a spiritual experience.
Creating stuff is becomming closer to God, the ultimate creator.

Appreciate the effort bro.

Honestly, I want to be wrong and stupid. As soon as I have some spare time, I may return to Houdini. I do not wish for my predictions to come true. The more 3D software, the happier I am. PC are so boring now without Amiga and Silicon Graphics to push them forward.

And if I am right, well, make sure to savour the moments while it last.

I am a failed 3D artist with more experience than most of you. Luckily, I am a successful programmer. So continue to fight for your beloved software. Emotion and feelings are more important than facts for humans, even for me. That is why I am here.

Super Computers -> 100% Linux
Servers -> 99% Linux
Mobile -> 90% Linux, 10% iOS
VR -> 100% Linux
SBC (embeded) -> 100% Linux
IOT -> 100% Linux
Desktop in USA -> 62% Windows and going down and down every months, everything else is Unix/Linux.
Consoles -> 99% Linux 1% Windows.

Every years since 2020, there are more Risc-V CPU made and sold than Intel and AMD combined.
It does not matter what you think, facts don't care for your feelings.

Houdini won't be there in 10 years because it is proprietary and closed source. Most of the money for Houdini do not go into making a better software, mostly getting some people richer. Most of the money for Blender goes into paying more programmers to improve the software. You won't have a job in 3DCG in 10 years. Will you continue to pay and use Houdini? Probably not. AI is already making better looking stuff, if only not perfect for now, but improving at an exponential rate (while it takes tons of people and working hours to make stuff for a mediocre shot that last 3 seconds). If you think you can compete with AI, you are a delusional fool.

Short term thinking is what gets 3D software killed.
