I think Matt Estela summed up Houdini most succinctly for me. He said 'loosely' at a fundamental level everything in Houdini comes down to the manipulation of attributes on points. It's all about wrangling the data.
I'm sure most people on this list know his site but for those that don't http://www.tokeru.com/cgwiki/index.php?title=HoudiniGettingStarted is a fantastic resourse for those making the transistion over to Houdini from another DCC such as Maya. It reads almost as a diary of Matt's conversion to the Houdini way of things. :) On 22 February 2017 at 16:27, Jordi Bares <jordiba...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On 22 Feb 2017, at 16:17, Jordi Bares <jordiba...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > If so then is the only way to recreate the Softimage freeze is to export > then import the geo? > > > It is more efficient… imagine you save to disk a result of a long process > that is 1Gb… and you have 100 versions of the scene. > > If you save to disk you use 1Gb on disk… > If you lock you save 100 times 1Gb on disk… > > > I meant you USE 100Gb.. load times skyrocket, traffic through the network > increases massively as you save your scene again and again and again, > potential asset version conflicts arise (where is the latest geometry of > that character?
