On a slight tangent. Regarding the Houdini software used to make this, the Apprentice licenses ( http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=589&Itemid=221 http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=... ) give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Free to use with option lower resolution output plus a $99 / year "Starving Artist" (good name) option for higher output resolutions suitable for portfolios is a great great way to foster a community and make it easy to get into.
