That's the oddest part of Houdini so far for me, how the viewport can be so inconsistent and buggy. The way component selections and polygon shading are displayed can vary a lot between sessions and OGL settings. And sometimes you just have to close the viewport and open a new one to get it to update the view correctly, it even happens a bunch of times in some of the tutorial videos I've watched!
I'm also hoping H14 will bring an end to some of that.. :) On Wed, Dec 17, 2014 at 10:59 AM, Jordi Bares Dominguez < [email protected]> wrote: > > I must confess that after testing the three versions the most stable by a > mile is the linux version, then the mac version (due to the old OpenGL in > H13) and then windows which although works nicely overall has some strange > things going on and slight freezes. > > I am waiting for Houdini 14 and see if OpenGL has been updated to v3.2 > which will unify all versions of Houdini and promises to be the perfect > platform (let’s see though) > > :) > > jb > > > > On 17 Dec 2014, at 08:01, Frantisek Hradecky <[email protected]> wrote: > > Experienced similar kind of UI stall few times, sometimes switching to > different Desktop helps. > > On Wed, Dec 17, 2014 at 3:57 AM, Gerbrand Nel <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Well I've played with houdini before, but found it a bit "strange" >> Then I started learning Maya and I believe I gave it a fair chance. >> Almost 6 months now. >> Houdini doesn't seem so strange now :) >> Maya is shitty in my opinion.
