I've been thinking about this for at least 5 years. Glad someone is doing it at last, yet sad it's only in an extremely complex app like Houdini. I love many things about SideFX and Houdini, and their pace of development is incredible. I know Houdini is not opaque, there are tons of training materials, it's node-based like Terragen, etc. Yet... I just find it daunting. Not to mention for terrain-specific interests it's just overkill. Still, I'm glad they're innovating.
