Re: Houdini 15.5 Released!
nodeway dunno why but the sarcasm is super strong on this one xD Just to give my 2 cents to the discussions : Houdini isn't on par with Maya/Max/Modo/Blender when it comes to modeling for games yet.It has a lot of powerful modeling tools but some of them are just too much complicated for your average environment artist to… -
Re: Houdini 15.5 Released!
I see it more as a whole different medium that requires significant time put into it. There's not a lot of certainty what can be done as far as model generation goes. I know I could make a smart terrain and populate it with streams, trees, fences, houses, etc. But if someone was sculpting a character head and wanted to… -
Re: Houdini 15.5 Released!
For people asking for tutorials more along gameart this site has loads of good stuff. http://www.gametutor.com/ I've been having fun learning houdini the last year, I've not been using it as much as I want too, partly because it requires a different mindset than traditional modeling. It's cool seeing them improving their… -
Re: Houdini 15.5 Released!
Ahh... It doesn't look like something special. Another wanna be 3dsMax/Maya. Look at this amazing tool for Maya. The guy made it by himself in three months by writing tons of code. Could you do the same in this application? -
Re: Houdini 15.5 Released!
Thanks for the mention :) but to add my two cents. I think procedural modeling is the future for both games and VFX especially when it comes to organics or nature. If I can create different kinds of rocks in seconds with a template made in Houdini I an use those in zbrush or just stick with Houdini who knows. I think soon… -
Re: Houdini 15.5 Released!
@rogelio I made a quick node setup for making ivy a few days ago, looked quite good and was much faster than what I could do by hand. @pior That one is good, making something that is useful and not just for the tutorials sake, putting some love into the models and textures I recon it can look good. @Mant1k0re True that,… -
Re: Houdini 15.5 Released!
You could very easily build that in Houdini. It's not a question of whether its better than the likes of Maya or Max. It just different and offers a different approach. The thing to remember about Houdini is that its 100% procedural in just about everything it does. Get your head around that and you'll find Houdini a great… -
Re: Houdini 15.5 Released!
I think I get what you were trying to say nodeway, though imo, I think you perhaps have been kinda clumsy in your approach. However when it comes to Houdini, there are plenty of videos now showing a pipeline of data and tools into the likes of UE4. And the introduction of Houdini Engine, or Fabric has made that even… -
Re: Houdini 15.5 Released!
Houdini can be used like a regular 3d app, but it is best utilized when producing mass assets. When you have tons of stuff and you cant make them all 1-by-1. Personally, you don't need to be a math wiz to produce good results. Just simple logic like being about to select 1 out of 2 polys, then perform this actions etc. I…
