Vladimir, thank you. This is a source for inspiration!!! 2015-01-30 19:33 GMT+03:00 Vladimir Jankijevic v.jankije...@gmail.com: Hey Max, just to give you some inspiration. This is what I was working on some time ago. It's basically the same type of owl I guess. In the first link you can see some of the feather work on 'The Little Ghost' and the second is a Japanese TV commercial. Both were created with a custom feather setup in ICE.

Houdini Indie includes the same procedural node-based workflow and features as the commercial version of Houdini and the physically-based Mantra renderer. Houdini Indie can be used in all stages of animation and game production including procedural modelling, character animation, lighting, rendering, effects and compositing. Houdini Indie also gives artists render farm access using HQueue on Amazon’s EC2 compute cloud. “Houdini Indie is a perfect solution for independent animators and game artists” says Chris Romano, Writer and Director, MONSTRO! “Houdini empowered my team to rig, animate, light, render and add effects such as hair, cloth, water and smoke with off-the-shelf tools. No special wizardy. No battery of programmers. This let me focus on story and style.” [image: Image] http://www.sidefx.com/images/stories/news/indie/indie_screenshot_lrg.jpg *Houdini Indie with V-REX Orbolt Asset by Fabio D'amico* Houdini Engine Indie Houdini Indie, and the standalone Houdini Engine Indie, can be used to load Houdini Digital Assets into other content creation apps such as Maya®, Cinema4D, and 3DS Max®, or game editors such as Unity® and Unreal.® Houdini Digital Assets can be accessed from the Orbolt Smart 3D Asset store or created in Houdini Indie for sharing with other artists. [image: Image] http://www.sidefx.com/images/stories/news/hengine_maya/hengine_max_fountain_lg.jpg *Houdini Engine Indie working inside Maya* Pricing And Availability Houdini Indie is available today for $199 USD annually while Houdini Engine Indie is available for $99 USD annually. Houdini Indie replaces Houdini Apprentice HD which was only available for non-commercial projects. Houdini Indie will recognize Apprentice HD licenses and can be used under the limited commercial license for the remainder of the annual term. The free Houdini Apprentice license is still available for non-commercial use by students. Commercial use of Houdini Indie is limited to studios or artists that make less than $100K USD per year and cannot be used in the same pipeline as commercial versions of Houdini. Houdini Indie uses its own file format for saving scenes and assets and is restricted to 1920x1080 when rendering out animations using Mantra. Houdini Indie also includes FBX input and output. -- --- Stefan Kubicek --- keyvis digital imagery Alfred Feierfeilstraße 3 A-2380 Perchtoldsdorf bei Wien Phone: +43/699/12614231 www.keyvis.at ste...@keyvis.at -- This email and its attachments are -- --confidential and for the recipient only-- No virus found in this message.

But you kinda lean on them after awhile. Say you had a particle emission that you wanted to turn on at frame 35. Most other packages you'd key a 0 at frame 34, move a frame, then key it on at frame 35. You can absolutely do it this way in Houdini. OR you can just type $FF 34 in the activation field. You can make your own randomize nodes using VOPSOPs and yes, save them for later. And you can build the parameters and promote them, meaning you can make them more accessible at the top level to tweak and adjust without having to always dive down into the lower level nodes themselves. So say you built a noise and want to pass it off to another artist, you can only promote say the Amplitude field and let them play with that, but not promote the frequency field because they have no business touching that. In the past few days, I've learned you can pretty much control everything from within Houdini and quickly build an interface to do so. It's not called an operating system for 3D for nothing.

Re: my first experiment with rigging in Houdini :-))))
http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=2692Itemid=68 I talked with colleagues from neighboring studios who did effects for Stalingrad. They migrated from Maya to Houdini and very happy with that. And their work is very impressive. Maya is a legendary product actually. Lots of cool things done with it. but Houdini is amazing and comfortable and Houdini have ice! and it is even greater. Moreover we must not forget that Houdini has CHOP. It is powerful tool for processing procedural animation curves.And Houdini all logical. All contexts are synchronized. this is different from a connection bigfrost. While exploring gudini I'm not saying oh shit, I'm just amazed how cool.

Re: ICE - When will we have todays functionality in Maya?
I apologize that not talking about maya. let's recall the old article. http://frenchdog.wordpress.com/2009/09/12/ice-vs-vop/ 2014-03-21 17:52 GMT+04:00 Chris Marshall chrismarshal...@gmail.com: I think we can see there's some reason to look into Bifrost, but I also have a nagging feeling it's simply never going to achieve the same level of functionality as ICE, for the very reason ICE is essentially being shut down. ICE does what it does and is so much more than a particle system, because it is built into the very core of Softimage. To attempt to make Bifrost 'future proof' they are deliberately *not* building it into the core of Maya, thus allowing for the potential for it to be standalone and / or plugged into other software / platforms at a later date. But by approaching it in this way, it'll only ever be a bolt on, that surely can never achieve that level of flexibility that we have with ICE at the heart of Softimage. It feels that the very thing that makes ICE such an amazing tool is actually causing it's downfall, and is the reason Bifrost can never replace it. And that totally sucks! On 21 March 2014 10:29, Juan Brockhaus juanxsil...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Adrian, this is some great info here. and makes me suddenly feel spmehow better ;-) maybe in two/three years time, when Soft slowly falls back (just due to no further development) BiFrost will be in a state where it can take over...? (wishful thinking) If I read between the lines I feel there is hope that BiFrost is not 'just' a fluid simulation system and can be used for far more. Exactly what I personally (and many others) love about ICE. It is (contrary to past Autodesk-PR) NOT just a particle-simulation-system, but a swiss army tool which can manipulate almost every aspect of data in my scene/objects and build, create, deform, etc... ie at the moment I build shapes/objects made out of dominos. All procedurally build in ICE. I made different compounds to stack and pile dominoes in different ways and methods. And if the objects I have to create (and even the domino) change (as usual in commercials..) it is all instantly updated. Only right at the end I add a Sim node and the whole things collapses... (obviously controlled with nulls, forces, etc...) The Sim is basically the last 5% of what I use ICE for. If I can do stuff like this in BiFrost in the future I'm a happy camper. Right now the only other software capable of that would be Houdini... I'll keep an eye on BiFrost ;-) Cheers, Juan On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 1:09 AM, joshxsi josh...@gmail.com wrote: Part of what made ICE so successful (in my mind) was the large amount of built in nodes and compounds that were included as part of the base system that were used in mostly non-simulated contexts (raycasting, geometry locations, etc). From the sound of the development stages, the first two releases will be fluid focused, do you expect that the final release will include the non particle functionality that ICE became so useful for? It sounds like you're expecting the users to build a more generic set of functionality using the API? (mesh deforms, curve based flow tools, IK solvers etc) Thanks again for the information as well.

On Tuesday, March 4, 2014, Ed Manning etmth...@gmail.com wrote: Stage 1 lasted nearly 5 years. It's only natural to spend a few days in stage 2. The stages, popularly known by the acronym *DABDA*, include:[2]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%BCbler-Ross_model#cite_note-Santrock-2 1. *Denial http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial* -- As the reality of loss is hard to face, one of the first reactions to follow the loss is Denial. What this means is that the person is trying to shut out the reality or magnitude of their situation, and begin to develop a false, preferable reality. 2. *Anger http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anger* -- Why me? It's not fair!; How can this happen to me?; 'Who is to blame? Once in the second stage, the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue. Because of anger, the person is very difficult to care for due to misplaced feelings of rage and envy. Anger can manifest itself in different ways. People can be angry with themselves, or with others, and especially those who are close to them. It is important to remain detached and nonjudgmental when dealing with a person experiencing anger from grief. 3. *Bargaining http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bargaining* -- I'll do anything for a few more years.; I will give my life savings if... The third stage involves the hope that the individual can somehow undo or avoid a cause of grief. Usually, the negotiation for an extended life is made with a higher power in exchange for a reformed lifestyle. Other times, they will use any thing valuable as a bargaining chip against another human agency to extend or prolong the life they live. Psychologically, the individual is saying, I understand I will die, but if I could just do something to buy more time... People facing less serious trauma can bargain or seek to negotiate a compromise. For example Can we still be friends? when facing a break-up. Bargaining rarely provides a sustainable solution, especially if it is a matter of life or death. 4. *Depression http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_(mood)* -- I'm so sad, why bother with anything?; I'm going to die soon so what's the point?; I miss my loved one, why go on? During the fourth stage, the grieving person begins to understand the certainty of death. Much like the existential concept of *The Void,* the idea of living becomes pointless. Things begin to lose meaning to the griever. Because of this, the individual may become silent, refuse visitors and spend much of the time crying and sullen. This process allows the grieving person to disconnect from things of love and affection, possibly in an attempt to avoid further trauma. Depression could be referred to as the dress rehearsal for the 'aftermath'. It is a kind of acceptance with emotional attachment. It is natural to feel sadness, regret, fear, and uncertainty when going through this stage. Feeling those emotions shows that the person has begun to accept the situation. Often times, this is the ideal path to take, to find closure and make their ways to the fifth step, Acceptance. 5. *Acceptance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance* -- It's going to be okay.; I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it. In this last stage, individuals begin to come to terms with their mortality or inevitable future, or that of a loved one, or other tragic event. This stage varies according to the person's situation. People dying can enter this stage a long time before the people they leave behind, who must pass through their own individual stages of dealing with the grief. This typically comes with a calm, retrospective view for the individual, and a stable mindset. -- Евграфов Максим.(Summatr) https://vimeo.com/user3098735/videos --- Хорошего Вам настроения !!! :-)

But that may be due to fact that never mastered rigging in Maya myself as after trying it in SI it was whole new world. As for animation... ALL rigs I ever had to work with in Maya were made by riggers that should better stay away from any rigging at all. Half-riggers that makes half done, bad rigs that breaks and brings any comp to crawl with like 4fps playback. So unless you have like master rigger at hand.. don't count on good animation in Maya. And trust me most of small to medium studios and freelancers don't have access to good rigger.

For example if you need to multiply a value by 10 its like this: *=10.

If you want to Constraint A to B first select A then B and hit Constraint. The Outliner is a piece of shit compared to XSI Explorer, its basic to say the least and selecting a father will highlight all of its children, so you never know what is selected at first sight, although in 2014 there's an Option to don't Highlight the Children.

For instance not having to press any F key to use the virtual Sliders, make a Constraint and the Constrain Weight get automatically added to the Channel Box so I can see it right away instead of having to open a PPG. A Constrained Object gets a different color on the value boxes so I know right away it is Constrained to something, but knowing to which object is it Constrained to its not as easy as in Xsi... and a Pain to find... Match All Transforms is something Maya doesn't have by default, what I did was to make a Parent Constraint and then removing the Constraint... My last gig I had sometimes in various shoots to Constrain objects to several other objects, for instance I had to constrain a shampoo Bottle to first the Right Hand, then passes to the Left hand, then to the Chest and then passes to another characters Hands. So 4 Constraints to deal with... in Maya I simply saw them on the channel Box of the Bottle and just Key them all at once when needed, 1 for 0 for the others etc etc.. at the time I was thinking in Xsi this would make me to have open 4 PPGS all the time, cluttering my space and probably confusing me since we cant even rename Constraints Asking for this feature to be right on the Rig was a No No, as Animators we are give then rigs already in the scene an then all the constraining between objects its done by us as needed, we cant ask this to the Riggers. Another Maya beef I had.. the Fractionals Keys... if you by accident make one, there's no way to force Maya to don't use them, if we got one we need to select it and then tell Maya to move it to an Integer, now imagine getting a retake on someone else animation where the Animator decided to shrink all the keys so everything is on Fractional s... argh! Usually when moving Keys on the timeline after the moving we select the Keys hit the Snap. Bythe way the Righ Click Menu on the timeline has more options that the Xsi one. Fortunately (and Unfortunately) Maya has bazillions of Scripts to aid us, specially for Animation, Ill name those I used more regularly in case someone needs them: -TweenMachine (I guess any Animator knows about this one, it exists a version for Xsi as well) -Parenting4Animators (I used it when I simply need an on off parenting relation with a Grab and Let go, It showsn on wich key the Constraint starts and when it stops, you can change the atwhat time this happens later on as well, I think there's a similar script for Xsi) -RotationOrders (Life saver, sometimes we forget to adjust the correct rotation order for a specific shoot and later realized that it should ha been YXZ instead of ZYX, with this I can change it on the fly and it preserves all the animation like it was..Oh Yeahhh ) -PAIE (a Export Import Animation in Python, I Hated the old DKANim script) -ColorKeys (yes now we can have multiple colors on the timeline so we can know right away which are the Golden, Breakdowns and InBetween Poses, instead of all the keys be the same colors, I asked this for years in Softimage, seems I was the
