Blender

Anyone out there using Blender? I hadn't realized it contains a node-based compositing toolset, making it seem almost Houdini-like in that respect. The comping features don't seem to be all that well documented, but look very interesting.

3D/2D integradion is one of my favorite things about Fusion 5. It's quite powerful to be able render simple 3D objects right in your compositing app. I hope to show some examples of that one of these days.

Like, after I finish my book!
