What is exactly the purpose of starting such a thread? And what is exactly *the point* of the thread?
That professional, high-end 3D animation software is too expensive at 2K with unlimited render licenses included?

No. the point was: That I can't yet afford it, but if I could, I'd buy it. If you can afford it, get it(Yay for you).

I have said nothing wrong, and the administrator made a point clear to me that the Escape version of Houdini is cheaper than Maya(I'm stacking cash for Houdini today).

So my thread is not pointless, though you can point yourself and your attitude elsewhere. So you don't need to tell me about render licenses, or try an sell me on what I already know is a great product.

P.S. Reading a post before responding to it could potentially make you seem less “A-Hole-ish”. Not everyone can just go to the bank and grab $2000 bucks. Again, if you can, horray for you, though the only preeminence you'd have over me is that you have a copy and I don't. Which doesn't make you a better CG artist in any way. Peace to you.

Houdini is great, I've enjoyed the 3DBuzz tutorials. I think the addition of the Mozilla browser is awesome. I am gaining knowledge of the Apprentice version and appreciate it much.

It's just that life had delt me a blow that is taking me a while to recover from(And I will recover), after which, I should have a copy.

I was not crabbing about anything(I appologize if it seemed that way) .

Peace to all and stay creative.

I agree. I still need to get a car first. I am still saving. It is definitely the best 3DCG tool on the market, hands down. If I had the cash to spend, Houdini is my choice without hesitation.

I think the Apprentice program is great for learning, but unless you are a production house or rich, I can't see how anyone could afford it. I need a car right now, and Houdini Master's price would get me into a decent car.

Besides, the program is as only as good as the artist using it. Houdini will not make you a better modeler or compositor.

Who knows, one day, if I learn Houdini well enough, I could get a job using it and then get paid enough to buy a copy… And own a car to get to and from work.

P.S. Please Don't frag me, I mean well.
