RE: Houdini 16 AutoRigging masterclass

[Jonathan Moore]

I agree, viewport subdivision interaction can be a tad annoying. I tend display 
Primitive Hulls when doing SubD editing as it least that way the viewport is 
operating to the same interaction model. The make Hulls visible command is 
readily available on the right hand side of the viewport but annoyingly there’s 
no way to assign it to a key binding. Going to submit an EFR for that one this 
afternoon! 

 

The delay for the first time you action SubD’s via the + key was a bug I think. 
I running 16.0.563 and the delay is no longer there. I just took delivery of a 
1080 Ti this week so it doesn’t seem to be related to Pascal cards. I was 
running a Maxwell gen Titan X on display duties before, and also got that nasty 
delay when triggering viewport SubD’s in earlier H16 builds.

 

But seriously Tim, EFR like crazy all the things you think are getting in the 
way. Their listening and being exceptionally responsive. The great thing about 
SideFX is that that actively seek artist feedback and RFE’s;  bugs aren’t the 
only thing they’re interested in hearing about.

Subject: Re: Houdini 16 AutoRigging masterclass

 

I made an RFE in the past about this but it wasn't addressed in the upgrade. 
I'm all for trying to use Houdini as a "traditional" modeler, but until they 
resolve the problems with view port subdivision I just can't see how it's 
possible.

 

Unless I'm missing something or some option in the settings, currently when you 
use viewport subdivision and try to select polygons you can only select the 
original unsub'd poly hull. Making it really annoying trying to manipulate the 
mesh in this mode. On top of that. what's going on with the partial showing of 
the the subdivided edges? Either show the low-rez edges on a smooth surface 
(like the default Softimage / maya etc settings) or show all of the new sub-d 
edges on a smooth surface(an option in soft). Currently it looks like Houdini 
picks and chooses when to show the extra detail and when not too. Finally, and 
maybe this is just my graphics card/driver (GTX 1080) but swapping between 
subdivided and non-subdivided takes longer than I think is acceptable, even on 
low rez meshes there is a noticeable pause. If what I'm saying isn't clear I'm 
happy to provide examples.

 

I love what the team has done over the last few years, and the new network 
upgrades are great, but interactive modelling responsiveness should be next on 
the list.

Tim

Houdini 16 includes the new modular Autorigs system. This masterclass provides 
an introduction to the tools and demonstrates a complete workflow starting with 
an imported character mesh all the way to a Digital Asset that is ready for

I was chatting with Michael on the Discord server and he mentioned that he’s 
very interested in RFE’s regarding both Houdini’s enhanced rigging tools and 
rigging workflows in general. If anybody has any ideas about rigging 
improvements let me know or post the RFE directly.

 

We also discussed poly modelling in Houdini and how sometimes destructive poly 
modelling (regularly deleting history) is preferred as it can be a far more 
fluid way to initially create assets. I like to model assets destructively as a 
first pass and then if the asset can benefit from procedurally based 
variations, recreate it in Houdini in a more structured manner. Because of the 
improvements to the modelling tools in H15-H16 I find I’m attempting I model 
‘destructively’ in Houdini too but I think Houdini could be improved to help

Experimental Redshift build for the Houdini 16 nightlies

[Jonathan Moore]

I’ve installed and tested RS 2.5.02 with the 16.0.535 nightly and
everything seems to be working exactly as it should. Just be sure to add
the correct environment variable path to your Houdini.env:

https://www.redshift3d.com/forums/viewthread/11238/
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/ProgramData/Redshift/Plugins/Houdini/16.0.534;&"

Another thing I’ve noticed with H16 is that if you don’t run Houdini from
the command line you need to run it with Administrator Privileges if you
want to make use of an external text editor such as Sublime Text.

This is the environment variable for Sublime Text if it’s installed in the
standard location.
EDITOR = "C:/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/sublime_text.exe"

To use, press ALT E in a Wrangle (or anywhere you’re inputting VEX, HScript
or Python.

You can install VEX/HScript syntax highlighting, snippets and documentation
popups for Sublime Text here:

It seems an obvious thing to say but years of doing things
the SubD way can makes you forget that NGon's and

In an act of politician like flipping, I take it back again ref the new
Boolean tools in H16. I hadn't realised that the magic sauce came about by
using the new weighting method of 'Face Area' on the Normal node.

That'll learn me for not paying proper attention to the introductory tool

Re: houdini 16

I take it all back. Emperor's new clothes syndrome with the new boolean
tools. They're as nasty to your geometry as ever they were.  ;)

On the other hand, they're ace as cutting planes for destruction shots
where good surfacing doesn't matter so much.

Re: houdini 16

For non deforming geometry the new boolean tools are ace. Just be sure you
don't have them set as "Render Polygons as Subdivision' in Mantra or
similar in Redshift. You'll end up with a garbled mess if you do!

It seems an obvious thing to say but years of doing things the SubD way can
makes you forget that NGon's and triangles are fine, you just have to work
with them differently.

Re: houdini 16

[Mirko Jankovic]

Here what support explained to me.
With 3 indie licences and 3 houdini engine inidie licences you can render
on 6 machines.
Because there is limit of 3 per studio so you buy 3 indie licences and 3
engines are free.
And with ofc using your own redshift licences you can render on all 6
machines.
Makes sense?

Re: houdini 16

[Jonathan Moore]

To major things I hadn't noted are:

- Compiled SOP Blocks: These allow for a chain of compatible SOP nodes to
be compiles as a block on the fly for parallel execution. The documentation
makes clear that this is just the start of a larger program of optimising
SOPs for threading but this looks like it could be a really efficient
workflow for SOP 'for loops', essential for destruction and such like.
http://sidefx.com/docs/houdini/model/compile

- Attribute Expression SOP: This is the new replacement for the goto per
point manipulation SOP of days gone by, the 'Point SOP'. The Point SOP
allowed you to action essential point attribute manipulations but was
single threaded. The Attribute Expression SOP is fully multithreaded and is
an extension of the Wrangle family of nodes.

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 ;-)

Re: houdini 16

[Pierre Schiller]

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.

Re: houdini 16

[Jordi Bares]

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.

Re: houdini 16

[Jonathan Moore]

Houdini offers just as much control over polygon islands (in truth, it has
more control). And it's not such a scary proposition once you learn the
power of VOP's (and even a little VEX). I actually find ICE a little clunky
now when I return to XSI to use Eric's plugins when compared to the
elegance of Houdini's nodes and VOPs.

Where emTopolizer wins, is the workflows it encourages an artist to take.
That side of it has been very cleverly designed by Eric. Houdini is just a
blank canvas in comparison and sometimes you need a spark of inspiration to
help you on your way.

The Houdini community are great at sharing workflows but it's a little
different to the types of sharing that went on in the XSI community. Orbolt
doesn't compare to rray but there's multitude of folk at odForce that will
be more than happy to make you a bespoke solution or at least point you in
the right direction so that you can solve your creative challenges yourself.

I'd say take a leap with the free Apprentice edition or low cost Indie
version first (Indie is preferable as you can use third party renderers
such as Redshift). I think Houdini has matured to become a home from home
choice for XSI artists. But take your time. The first few months will throw
up challenges but things soon click into place and you'll be flying along
with hopefully enough understanding to make the larger purchase decisions
(if required).

Re: houdini 16

[phil harbath]

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.

You will be able to do that and more but of course, being more granular you

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.

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!

Re: houdini 16

[phil harbath]

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. 

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

Very true… they are really switched on.

Re: houdini 16

[Jordi Bares]

I agree too, there has been a very positive attitude in terms of listening, 
implementing new tools in a Softimage-esque fashion which, given there were no 
previous experiences on the Houdini community, was a very wise approach to take 
rather than reinvent the wheel for the sake of it (hello render layers, passes 
& overrides ;-)

And indeed I agree with you that H16 and beyond are extremely appealing to me 
and surely enough.

Re: houdini 16

[Jonathan Moore]

Agree with everything you say there Jordi but I think the more diverse
segmentation of Houdini artists has had a dramatic influence on the Houdini
UX - being a UX man by trade that's probably why I notice that side of
things most.  ;)

The thing that impressed me most about Monday night's event was that every
member of the SideFX team I met was more interested in feedback for future
improvements than they were in talking about their achievements with H16.
That's an impressive company culture. Maybe it's something they instill in
their employees or maybe it's a quality they look for in their hire's,
either way it makes a pleasant change from some of their competition.

Re: houdini 16

[Jordi Bares]

I am the under the impression, and this is just my opinion, that it is both. 

First, the strong foundations on mathematics SideFX are implementing are now 
being taken advantage acrosss the whole software. For example, the work done on 
FEM for fractures is now the foundation to the new skinning algorithm 
(Biharmonics), the same could be said with cloth, fluids, etc…

But it is also obvious there has been a growth in the development efforts 
across the board and specially obvious on the gaming side, which it is also 
passing to the VFX side, like height fields have had a major push on the new 
oceans for example.

All in all my naive view is that they are now getting the results of planting 
the right seeds with the right motivation and vision a few years ago

But I am not an insider so this is just my conclusions based on observing the 
last years since H9 and what they are doing.

Re: houdini 16

[Jonathan Moore]

I think it's a combination of things. The feedback from XSI users that made
an early jump over to Houdini has definitely helped steer the direction of
development resources. But it's also a cultural thing within SideFX.
They're always actively listening to feedback with regards to how they can
improve Houdini within the framework of how Houdini functions at a
fundamental level (procedural operations throughout). I think this makes it
an easier path for XSI artists as there was an element of proceduralism in
XSI long before ICE.

Houdini Indie has made a huge difference to the SideFX feedback loop too
(especially since they've allowed third party rendering plugins). Much as
Houdini had a learning edition that was free to use, Houdini Indie brought
a richer range of artistic talent into the feedback loop. Independent
artists working in games, motion design or pure hobbyists became part of
the active users mix too. The traditional Houdini feedback loop was mainly
talented TD's in major FX studios with an academic background in computer
engineering.

The leap that a typical Modo or Lightwave artist has to make is still a
difficult one because they're so used to the liberating power of a fully
destructive workflow. But SideFX now seem to be understanding how to create
a direct modelling feel but with all the benefits of proceduralism. H15
brought a wider range of artists into the Houdini family, I think H16 and
beyond can only grow that widening appeal beyond VFX.

Re: houdini 16

[Chris Marshall]

It's interesting that a number of very tricky areas of 3d, like rock solid
booleans or muscle simulation, infinite oceans etc have been addressed all
at the same time. Has this happened as a result of throwing a load more
resources at the problem? It was mentioned 3 or 4 times that things started
to gain momentum about 18 months to 2 years ago. Not a coincidence there
then.

Re: houdini 16

[Jonathan Moore]

I mentioned this over on the Modo beta forums, but it's also worth
mentioning here. Houdini is never going to be a replacement for a direct
modelling application because of the very nature of proceduralism. But
since H14 there has been a concerted effort to improve the direct modelling
user experience. Rigging in Houdini I think has reached a point where the
procedural nature of Houdini is enhancing UX rather than diminishing it.
And animation is at a place where as long as you don't attempt to recreate
XSI approaches in Houdini it's providing a UX that caters to far more than
VFX pipelines (in truth, animation still has a few kinks to work out but
SESI are getting there).

As long as you embrace the Houdini way of things, H16 is far closer to
being a direct replacement for XSI than at any time since EOL was
announced. And this is in large part due to SESI being far more focused on
the needs of the growing and more diverse community than the likes of
Autodesk will ever allow the Maya team to be. So many of the changes in H16
are a direct result of feedback from XSI 2 Houdini early adopters such as
Jordi. And in fairness, the C4D community have added greatly to the Houdini
UX over this time too (Houdini Engine has been a huge success for Maxon,
and a virtual Trojan horse for SESI too).

Re: houdini 16

[Gerbrand Nel]

Yeah.. there was an aura of passion and excitement  about the presenters.

Allot of the other launch events for other products has a narcissistic 
arrogance about them.


I hate those dramatic pauses you sometimes see just before they unveil 
the next generation of totally redesigned worthless bullshit, instead of 
just fixing what needed fixing in the first place


I'm not just talking software, but tech stuff in general.

I am supper upset about having to wait till the 21st though

[Eugene Flormata]

It's a very good list, considering a lot of the updates in maya seem to be
just bought plug ins

can anyone on the beta  disclose whether or not the
biharmonic skin weighting at timestamp 4:01 https://vimeo.com/202435893
convert itself to regular skin weights readable in maya or unity (I guess
dual quaternion)?

I thought it was always interesting after watching this years ago

Here you go Tim. I bundled them altogether to share with the Modo beta
group a while back if you remember.

https://d.pr/1h5t7.zip

They were put together for H13/14 (I think, I'm sure Jordi can clarify).
But there's still plenty of useful stuff for H16. The Mantra cheatsheet
alone has saved me on many an occasion. :)

It's a near 700mb download altogether but it's pretty essential reading for
XSI alumni.

Enjoy...

Holy !

The H16 release is looking awesome!

So much new stuff, and I really like the new nodal look and workflow. 
And radial menus for modeling and such :-)

Also very curious about the new rigging tools.

Looking forward to the (online) release presentation on Monday!

Re: houdini 16

[Oliver Weingarten]

true...this is a great release and shows how much effort and passion 
SideFX puts into Houdini!
I ges you won´t get more development from any developer. Compare this to 
AD. LOL
You won´t get this much in 10 years..and if so, it will be implemented 
half ass and instable ;)


At least, the furure is bright for Houdini!

I feel your pain… I have tried Maya countless times and always got the same 
impression although it is fair to say the last 2 years seems Autodesk is 
finally putting some things in place and I will expect to get it right on 
future releases. Both for Flame and Maya they seem to gain some pace now.

H16 will be officially launched on the 6th!!! So just 2 days away… not long.

Re: houdini 16

[Eugene Flormata]

I like the new stuff in maya
but it's just so unstable once I try to get fancy
mash breaks all the time past 2 mash networks
and using layers in the new render thing is never consistent.
the new render pass thing ignores overrides seemingly when it feels like it.
reference files constantly cause mash node disconnects, and there always
alerts that pop up that I just have to ignore in a scene?
sometimes the references work, sometimes they cause weird render issues
where redshift prepass just gets stuck on the same frame on the same
prepass. so when I want to keep things in one project, I can't, I have to
split it into separate files just to render it sometimes.
just gotta keep my options open.



if I just use it for modeling and UVing it's great though, just can't seem
to not hate it more when trying to do more than that.

any idea when the other features get shown Jordi? thanks for the reply by
the way

Re: Meetup for those going to the Houdini 16 launch event

[Jonathan Moore]

John Moncrief is also meeting a few of us at the pub (see first message).
He's part of the SideFX team and has spent the last 5 years or so putting
training courses together for the likes of FXPHD and SideFX & Pluralsight.
He's more interested in sampling some english ale but mentioned he's
interested in hearing any feedback ref Houdini training, not specifically
Pluralsight, just anything that makes Houdini more approachable.
