Terrain generation is going to be a lot of fun :-)
And I like all the tweaks for the network view, very useful stuff there.
Now I'm off to ruin my Wednesday.... ;-)

I'm jumping into HU. But from the looks of it, indie and self
teaching isn't first option. It would seem I'd need to get into HU
by partnering with someone more experienced, as the tabs, sims and
other tools need to be further digged on the interface and -of
course- they are all needed. Having said that, HU has impressed me
at new ocean sims and crowd sims with colliders, along with fur
tools. Simply breath taking. Yes, it feels as a new software
instead of an upgrade (and that is staying healthy) on the industry.
We all know in the end, we miss working with nodes on ICE, and HU
offers anoher cool set of nodes to keep playing with.
Cheers.

Yes, all of that is pretty straightforward without any
maths although the ice looking growth structures may
require some more involvement.
Certainly directing it and making it look like that will
take a lot of work and flair but the underlying toolset
can do that without any calculus.

When I think of emTopolizer I always think of Tim
Borgmann's work for Framestore. Any of the Nissan
projects of 2013 are a strong showcase for
emTopolizer. But this Altima spot is my pick of
the three.

thanks for the response, as far as the
emtopolizer question, I guess what I was
asking was can I do that sort of thing
without digging into deep is there something
close to the surface that already does that
sort of things or do those nodes already
exist. And mostly I am just talking about
the way emtopolizer is able to control
islands of a mesh with a non simulated
particle system.

sorry, yes, I meant emtopolizer. I really
like using ice to control each piece
(fragment) of a geometry, I am really
hoping whatever I move to next has that
capability, so if anyone knows if there is
anything out there like it for any problem,
I would be grateful.

emTopology or emTopolizer? If we're talking
emTopolizer, Eric stuck enough unique tools
and workflows in there to keep me coming
back for years to come. :)
Much as I love Houdini, it would be even
better with Eric on the payroll!

Emtopology, yeah it's for free in Houdini :)

while houdini is a topic of conversation,
as a person still entrenched in softimage
I have a couple of questions. I use
emtopology a lot to control object
fragments and find it indispensable, is
this something that houdini can do
without, like you know, knowing the math
to recreate the actual emtop tools.
You will be able to do that and more but of
course, being more granular you should
expect an adaptation period that surely may
be frustrating or even painful (like any
transition) but I am sure you will see the
posibilities and what is possible to do with
Houdini out of the box.
In terms of maths, I would expect you should
be fine although you may want to take
advantage of some tools by reinforcing some
basic maths. This should be all you need for
pretty much 90% of what you may be after.
https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/houdini-practical-math-tips
Also is there some sort of autorig
generator and is there an equivalent to
character sets. I assume that whatever
the houdini mixer is, it is not up there
with the ease of use as the softimage
mixer. I am very happy with the
Softimage toolset for character
animation, so I hate to take huge step
down, all this talk about maya needing
all sorts of scripts really turns me off,
and the need to redo weights if any
topology is changed.
Yes, there have been various incarnations
and in the very latest version 16 now brings
a much simpler and more powerful now
approach built by a super experienced top
rigger so I am sure will fit your needs
without sweating blood.
You can literally go from mesh to fully rig
in under 30 minutes (depending how fast you
are with your placement of the guide rig)
and deployment of a fully ready asset.
