shake 寫:Software 價餞是間題. Houdini + Renderman 是比較貴.
但現在Houdini 可以分鬧買.
但是做Effects, Houdini 彈性比 Maya,Softimage,XSI... 強出不知多了倍.
如果客戶改變主意. Houdini sure 比其他Softwares好,
Shader不是一定要寫的, Hollywood 好多時用renderman都是Scan-in 或
Paint的.
很多公司高層很怕Houdini, Renderman, Mental Ray等Softwares.
說穿了他們不識用和這些Softwares很難學.怕D同事學識,做Job,
自己又唔識,他們Handle不到他們.![]()

所以只會同老細講這些Softwares又貴又無用.
自我保護都可以明白的. 但世界是不停在轉的.![]()
Houdini is more flexible than the other software you've mentioned AS LONG AS you have the luxury to spend in the initial setup time, that's why it's more suitable for Large Project ( Film..etc ) than TV Commercial.
For TV Commercial, A Swiss Army Software is more idea.
Also, as h2o have mentioned, you forgot the cost of RENDERING LICENSE ( not just the software ), I get unlimited rendering license with Maya, Max, Lightwave, But with Prman, the cost is just unrealistic for small to mid size company. With the low margin profit of today commercial production, I don't think any company can afford it.
