for me... viewport rewrite, USD update with Material X support (ensure all 3rd party renderers). Also UDIM, and additional UV tools like a relax brush and interacting stitching, etc. The way they've been going, I think they'll actually continue with a seemingly unified dynamics architecture which hopefully will include nodes.

I hope revised Ridged Body Dynamics to with with Cloth/Rope. Id also love to see the Camera calibration to be completly rewritten with more automation/AI features to make it faster easier to match

Pyro has is based on a grid, not particles.

I'm hoping for a new particles solver with massive performance gains. Pyro has to have some kind of new particles under the hood already, hasn't it? And a new, fresh viewport, please. And an uncluttered dopesheet. Thanks! 🙂

It could have happened in a different time but I don't think there is a suitable incentive structure currently existing for Maxon to deliver on the original promise of scene nodes, with all the time and development cost that would entail. Why would a subscription service go so far out on a limb like that when all that is needed is to maintain the subscription service and the system operability and performance while adding as few new features as needed to placate those demanding something new. Not saying Maxon does that, but as we've seen with Adobe, it can easily and not surprisingly unfold that way.

I want a boost in Spine manipulation features Interactive non-destructive individual point chamfer. Spline Outline Generator (SDF paradigm). Plexus mode in Tracer Outline Caps for open Splines Edge to Spline Capsule (there's a node but no Capsule) Manipulate Spline Graphs from XPresso Point Reduction Capsule Cage Deformer supports splines. Close Spline, Type and Intermediate Points for MoSpline Connect's Weld Points supports splines Spline Graph Editor enhancements like interactive panning and zooming, graph cycling, Distribute Nodes and Duplicate Nodes Other Point Cloud export from Pyro, Volume Builder and Voronoi Fracture. Use of the Pyro under the Volume Builder. Volume Stylization (AI) Centerline Generation from the Vector Import Keep polygons when extruding edges Camera/Light Field From all of the above of course we will see nothing except this: Spline Dynamics - Hard Structures.

I wonder if it'll be at IBC (Sep 15-18).

I don’t think they’ll pull a maya or c4d. 😛

The C4D peeps are having a bunch of fun with this, so why not join the party? (Well, looking in from the outside, I guess . . .) If you Google "chladni pattern formula", you can pick up the formula from the first result, and just directly plonk it down into a Point Wrangle. Generate a couple of sliders, and Bob's your uncle. I also added a locator to alter the center point, for more variety. Scene file attached below. houdini_VkTEEjYWSH.mp4 Chladni Patterns.hiplc

I noticed this issue using alternate n-th selections too
