This is where Houdini changed my life for the better. Sometimes I forget that Mantra is still rendering while I’m already doing changes to the geometry. :) Happy weekend. Andy > On Jun 8, 2018, at 6:12 PM, Rob Wuijster wrote: > > Yup! Don't do it that way ;-) > > Soft is prone to

Re: Houdini : non VFX jobs?

Funny how that is. When I first got my feet wet with Houdini I had the same feelings. I could rage about the looks of everything UI. Then something else happened… And this is not to say that the UI/UX doesn’t need work, but while learning the ins and outs of Houdini I started to appreciate how

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

Houdini to headus UVLayout

Over the weekend I've hacked an HDA to bridge Houdini to headus UVLayout. I know some of you have used the Softimage to UVLayout Add-on in the past, so I hope you have use for this. Comments on implementation and improvements are welcome. Get it here: sidefx.com/forum/topic/49644/
