Re: this is the end......

I agree. Softimage is like those nice spaceship Lego sets, with specialized shapes and parts, to help you build something awesome quick. Houdini is just a shit-load of the basic square Lego bricks, with a few of the level 35 lego technic parts thrown into the mix. You want something awesome, yo

I didn't know for Max but that's a bit of a surprise. While gathering informations to learn Houdini, I found "soup" for Maya that is a pure copy of some attribute behavior in Houdini. I know there are other examples. It's so obvious that I wonder if it is legal. But what hurt my balls is that feeli

If such a case would arise, Hirazi? Given your excellent job (also in terms of fairness) in the rare cases when moderation was required at SI-Community, would you be open to moderate the list as well? On 02/02/16 19:01, Jason S wrote:

RE: this is the end......

I wish you luck with that. It was hard enough trying to sell them Soft and ICE. So Houdini could be even harder. Correction though, it was never that people didn’t like Softimage or ICE, it was that many Max users appeared to struggle to really see how they’d adopt it. They would mention a few

You have wetransfer incoming. I found something I could clean up and save in a separate database, but as usual with a Volumetric SITOA setup there is a problem. I had it rendering fine in my production scene, but here there is a bounds issue I have yet to figure out, as the numbers are the same as

I will see if I can dig one up for you. I agree it is not straight forward to get working, and the documentation is sparse. Morten Den 2. februar 2016 kl. 14:45 skrev Chris Marshall : > Thanks, I'm just getting no volume render at all. Are there any demo scenes > out there? I can't find any. >
