One thing is displaying bunch of meshes and details, (display subdiv, displacements, fur) Another thing is actualy procesing rig and weights that is on CPU and not having much on GPU so two parts of sme problem to deal with.

Most people who seem to be planning to put Houdini as the main part of the pipeline are looking at something Like Modo / Zbrush for the modelling Kind regards Angus On 2014/03/31, 11:20 AM, "David Saber" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >A question for Houdini users: >My main concern is characters.
