@michael That's my mistake and I'm really sorry for that... I got excited and did that :(. But still a lots of people have already watched the video not because of my post but because they follow SideFX on Vimeo and got the notification of that video. But why not use your own server & site for such confidential content?

I was expecting TOPs to be completely something else then what I now know it is.  I'm still understanding ROPs so I won't  be touching TOPs for a while.

yeap, i do not get why this is a new context, and not just a improvement to ROP context. But i think sesi have a good reason to do this way. So, let's wait to official announcement brother! :)

when a video is private we can give the password out to Alpha/Beta/Whatever users, then just switch it to 'Public' when it's ready and we don't have to update any links etc.

@Alexey Vanzhula In H16.5, you need a base mesh to manipulate the geometry but in H17, you can use the same tool to create it without needing the base mesh.

If you have no a mesh, you can connect Grid SOP to second input of the TopoBuild SOP. Grid SOP as projection plane. All I saw in the video I can repeat in H16.5

Can't really understand what is PolyDraw (that creates old topobuild SOP). You can connect grid to second input of the TopoBuild SOP to produce same result. And where is magic?

No man, the result is not same of add a grid on second input, because in Polydraw you not limited to the grid projection when creating new polys (360 DoF).
And the reason Polydraw creates a topobuild, is because is a WIP tool, so, internally is using topobuild functionality on UI, but with "extras" on code.

It would have been nice in the presentation to show a little box modeling, I know the new school set of modelers like ngons and booleans, puts a chill up my spine; anyhow as I was mentioning, some box modeling would have been nice in the presentation.  

Besides that, there is potential with this tool, and I look forward to using it, as it looks most of the modeling tools found in other packages are in the baseline of polydraw.

Nuke-like way to change the parameter values with keyboard- you can move the value up and down with the up and down arrow keys

yes please! C4D has a similar system but this looks even better!
