robert.magee Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Houdini 8.1 has now been officially released and is available on the website. There is also an article outlining the new version at sidefx.com. One thing to note is that Houdini's compositing features are now included in Houdini Escape to help support the lighting workflow in that product. Learn more... To celebrate Houdini 8.1, Side Effects Software is offering two great opportunities to save when choosing to either buy or rent Houdini Master. Through September 30, 2006, up to two copies of Houdini Master can be purchased at the special price of $9,999 USD, a savings of over 40 percent, while customers who choose the rental option for at least 3 months will enjoy one month free. Both these offers are available to both new and existing customers. Learn More... We also have rental pricing now available year-round to help with setting up some Houdini licenses for your short-term production needs.

symek Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 It seems like SESI's market is growing in middle-class area, so it's worth to disperse rest of their doubs about Houdini investment.
