Re: SI and Houdini
While I haven't used it in a while, I'm quite sure you can export your iBook as a standard ePub and PDF as well, though it will strip out some of the rich media content. So you can publish the same book in multiple formats. If you rather go with the app approach you should definitely have a look at adobe/indesign DPS. It may not be quite as advanced as writing all the code your self, but it will get you very far. And without needing to write any code at all.

Re: SI and Houdini
The challenge would be to transfer the layout from Keynote to InDesign, but once you have it there the rich media options offered by DPS are great. I design a quarterly magazine using DPS and it is a very capable platform. On the delivery end, you can publish as an app for iOS or Android. Adobe also has a Content Viewer application to allow for desktop viewing. Feel free to contact me for help if you go that route. The actual publishing process is a bit arcane and twisted, but having someone to walk you through it will help.

Re: SI and Houdini
Keynote... can I strongly advise to make regular backups. a colleague, (hi Jo!) Was crunching final hours in the early morning on his presentation when was low on disc space , it crashed, and his file was empty from then onwards. Quick digging online revealed it was not uncommon either! So save version numbers :) Also, can I make a small request for lighter weight pdf version. I think that the version you are outputing so far has a giant bitmap background per page and is really inefficient use of bandwidth. It's like PowerPoint rather than a real optimized pdf creation tool , but just plain text with illustrations should be way smaller than what yours are ending up in file size. Still, don't want to seem ungrateful as what I have read so far is very usefull indeed!

Hi Rob, sounds like weird.. I had zero problems in the more than 8 years I have been working with it day in day out for presentations (up to 6Gb document once) and lately the guides that took only 300Mb on the master document… But yes, I do back up regularly. ;-) thanks Regarding the bandwidth issue with the background… i will see what I can do. thanks a lot Jordi Bares jordiba...@gmail.com On 12 Aug 2014, at 20:38, Rob Chapman tekano@gmail.com wrote: Keynote... can I strongly advise to make regular backups. a colleague, (hi Jo!)

Hi Jordi, When the dust settles with your survey and you have an idea of how many people would be interested and what they would be interested in. You might consider an indiegogo campaign to cover costs up front. Also, as i understand it, this was written from your point of view as a Softimage user transitioning into Houdini, but I'm wondering if anyone who is interested in getting into Houdini could benefit from it.

Re: SI and Houdini
Totally… I am thinking of two alternatives, make it a generic without so much comparison or include Maya comparisons too so it appeals to both parties… This will involve a fair amount of work for sure but hey, that is the point of course. By the time I am done I will surely have the VOPs chapter ready too so it could be a major update. A lot of Houdini artists are writing me too as they are reading it too, something I was not that aware… seems they love the fact that I approach it from a totally different angle and some new things have appeared for them… lets see ..

Re: SI and Houdini
Since quite a lot of people have approached me to either donate or ask for a published version of these guides I have been thinking in revisiting the Houdini Guides and extend them with rich media, high quality images, interactive graphics, etc… But of course such a task will require some extra time so may be once the next release is out I could also upgrade them. Anyway, I will ask you to please help me out filing this survey to try to understand if there is interest out there and how that should be put together. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JQTXZTY Thanks in advance.

Re: SI and Houdini
Polygonal modeling in Houdini does feel a bit clunky and slow, mostly because of the viewpoirt interaction. However there are some really cool procedural modeling tools that I know miss when going back to softimage. The bad news is that you will need a second app to do most of your assets, but this could be any app c4d, maya, xsi, etc. On 30 July 2014 08:35, Sebastien Sterling sebastien.sterl...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Jordi Bears :) On 30 July 2014 08:32, Jordi Bares jordiba...@gmail.com wrote: No there is not, I discuss at the beginning the workflow in which I suggest you still use XSI for modelling or a combination of Zbrush and Topogun (or the likes) for a retopology approach as that is the normal workflow. :-/ Jordi Bares jordiba...@gmail.com On 29 Jul 2014, at 23:31, Matt Lind ml...@carbinestudios.com wrote: There is no modelling chapter in the previous documents, which is why I asked.

Plus the conference this year has as speakers - Quadspinner!!! - Javier Fesser (one of my heroes of all time) - Daniel Lara - Chris O'Really (a total visionary) - Paul Devebec (another hero of mine) - Alex Roman (another hero) Anyway… in my humble opinion this is the best VFX festival due to the fact you can actually talk to the speakers outside, it is such a small city it is super easy to go for beers with anyone.

Re: SI and Houdini
My God Jordi I am playing around with Houdini for the render sides of things with Arnold these days We already use it for VFX in a somehow encapsulated way. And I just finished reading all of your pdfs. Except for animation and rigging. Your guides are such invaluable help and incredibly informative. My eyes are so wide opened now that it's even stretching my skull. I feel it cracks!!! Now we just need HtoA to grow up!! thanks so much for taking the time to do this. sly Sylvain Lebeau // SHED V-P/Visual effects supervisor 1410, RUE STANLEY, 11E ÉTAGE MONTRÉAL (QUÉBEC) H3A 1P8 T 514 849-1555 F 514 849-5025 WWW.SHEDMTL.COM http://WWW.SHEDMTL.COM VFX Curriculum 03: Compositing Basics mail to: s...@shedmtl.com On May 20, 2014, at 7:12 AM, David Saber davidsa...@sfr.fr wrote: Thanks again Jordi!

Re: SI and Houdini
My aim with Data Management was to discuss the benefits of approaching the workflow given all the files are external to the scene, from models, textures, animation caches, motion, etc… Referencing is great but brings some major organisation and infrastructure problems too… for example, we have just finished a job with fluids and has taken 14 Tb of data! This was a ver small 80 shots movie done but a couple of guy only so you can imagine the implications… Because some of these are not obvious may be Rigging would be a good start given that you will see the face of caching things out so later when I talk about that it will make sense... :-P On the other hand it may be a good thing to go through that before so the concepts make sense when rigging... Difficult decision... Still up for rigging then?
