While this toolset looks interesting, it would be much, *much* better to present everything in a simple web page showing what each HDA/node does in full detail, with text and pictures.
Having to painfully sit through videos with random music is not acceptable for a commercial tool of this price. Narrated videos would be better, but still : a proper text documentation is the absolute best, and pretty much a requirement.
As a matter of fact I'd go as far as saying that the current presentation (unedited Vimeos with random music) hurts the toolset a lot, as it makes it look very amateurish and somehow suggests that customer support will probably be non-existent. This is of course just an impression, but impressions matter a whole lot. Even this thread doesn't even have any introduction text to explain what the tools do.
Now of course the toolset itself looks quite powerful. So, good luck !

Flux 1.0 (Soft Boolean parent) is now free. Works only with Houdini 16 and 16.5
You can download it to get basic understanding on how modern SB works. Flux has a little worse topology in comparison with the modern SB and has another options, but it works and it's free. Also Flux has a retopology toolset which can help you a bit.

Is this something you could reproduce in Houdini?
