    17 big ones :tired_face: Could have bought a new car for that back then... I guess 3D was still state of the art, hi tech back in the late 90's.

    How is the UI? It kinda scares me, just looking at it.

    Ooooo now that’s worth two farts 💨 must have a look at those ancient sea 🌊 scrolls 📜 and see what all the fuss is about!

    I see Houdini apprentice is free on their site but some older versions of it are on some cover disc I will link one ☝️ if there’s interest!

    UI is a bit scary but not as bad as later ones... I actually like Houdini 8 which is the last of the 'shelfless' versions...Very powerful procedural stuff... Houdini 4 was used in the first X-Man movie for the scene where the 'senator' turns into a jellyfish then bursts into water on the gurney... The earlier ones were use in 'Contact', 'Dr Dolittle' & some others...
