capinXcrunch Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I am about to wet myself because I have been waiting very paitently for the beta test of Houdini Apprentice v6. Has anyone here on the board begun beta testing? Does anyone know the delay for the Apprentice beta, oh well I will just go back to messing around with POPs. cheers -capin_crunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plan9 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 beta 6 was opened to the public a few weeks ago, not sure if its available now but ask if you could hop on at the sidefx forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Actually, the original beta e-mail which was posted on the mailing list was directed to customers and not intended for the public.

Mcronin Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Going by the timetable laid out in the email. I gather the earliest Apprentive users will be able to see V6 is mid March, the latest some time in April. Anyone from SESI care to comment whether that's a fair assumption?

capinXcrunch Posted March 5, 2003 Author Share Posted March 5, 2003 This is what the email says in my inbox. "As a valued customer, we invite you to participate in all three phases of our beta program: Initial Acceptance Test February 10-28 Final Acceptance Test March 3-14 First Customer Ship April 2003" Okay I totally misread that part. I thought for some reason from March 3-14 that meant Apprentice users for some reason. Ohwell; I guess I will just wait till April when they release an Apprentice version; good thing I was not holding my breath on this one. cheers -capin_crunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUsualAlex Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I've got a taste of v6. It rocks. And I really can't wait. Some of the interface has been streamlined more to speed up your workflow a bit. It just rocks. Although most of the powers are still best harness by TD people, I'd say.
