Thanks Jordi, survey completed! N ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Jordi Bares [[email protected]] Sent: 11 August 2014 08:13 To: [email protected] Subject: 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.

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 <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Thanks Jordi Bears :) On 30 July 2014 08:32, Jordi Bares <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> 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 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> On 29 Jul 2014, at 23:31, Matt Lind <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: There is no modelling chapter in the previous documents, which is why I asked.
