Houdini Core is comparable to the annual cost of autodesk software. I don't think the cost of the software really matters much though. If it did, everyone would be using Blender.

Yep, I've resigned myself to previewing in marmoset exclusively. Why exactly Autodesk would change something AGAIN is beyond me. Seems like a form of sport, really.
Hi THE 5, yeah thats right, specular is the reflection colour on AD, best source I found is autodesk documentation itself! also mentalboutmax training is a good source.
Have any of the users of the Brushes and Layers apps tried the newly released Sketchbook Mobile app for iPhone (from Autodesk)? If so, would you report your comparisons?
