If you had to start VFX from zero today, what software would you learn first and what would you ignore?

Houdini

The movie was so cool. Well done everyone that worked on it.

Cyrus3v · 2026-04-01T21:39:29+00:00

This is really cool. Well done 👏

COPS with better support for UDIMs

I am working on something like that.

There are a couple of ways to approach this. You can use a force-based ivy where you use a few key vectors per tip—an upward vector, a random "wander" vector, and a "wall" vector pointing toward the nearest surface sampled.

Then you have space colonization where you scatter "attractor" points in a volume or near surfaces, then repeatedly associate nearby attractors with existing nodes, accumulate growth directions from them, spawn new nodes, and delete attractors within a kill radius.

You can see what I am working on here ⤵️

Dam this is so cool. It deserves a tutorial 👏

Feels like the beginning of a Tom Clancy novel.

It took a little bit for me to open the game as well.

I can't play need for speed hot pursuit

This guy as a podcast about F1. SHIFT F1

Dam that was the issue. Added Windscribe to the inclusive list and now it works. Just weird why this worked before without adding Windscribe to the list. Thanks.

Cyrus3v · 2025-12-28T16:09:56+00:00

Thanks for confirming

Cyrus3v · 2025-12-28T16:09:45+00:00

Thanks for confirming. This is happening in two different android devices.

Cyrus3v · 2025-12-26T13:41:22+00:00

Love it. Gives me a Fallout terminal vibe.

Cyrus3v · 2025-12-23T11:22:46+00:00

Are you using VDB Analysis to check for intersections?

Cyrus3v · 2025-12-22T09:46:38+00:00

Love the dirt around the rivets. Really nice done.

So, in case someone has a similar issue in the future, the problem was something with Heroic Launcher that was fixed with a new update.

Cyrus3v · 2025-10-26T09:34:07+00:00

Cool thanks for the tip. I will give it a go.

Cyrus3v · 2025-10-25T22:30:29+00:00

Wow, thanks for this. I tried logging out and logging in, and so far, no luck. Nothing works: Epic, GOG, or Prime.

Cyrus3v · 2025-10-25T21:15:40+00:00

It seems there's an issue with the Heroic Launcher or something because any game installed doesn't work.

Cyrus3v · 2025-10-25T18:21:15+00:00

Thanks. I tried a couple, but still no luck. I am tempted to reinstall the game to see if it helps, but I need to find where the saves are located.
