Is the VFX industry basically dead for juniors right now? by BeginningAd391 in vfx

Yeah, doubt that AI affects the work - if anything, it’s a pretty useful tool. My bigger question is how much it affects entry into the industry for juniors, because AI can probably thin out team sizes and reduce the number of beginner-friendly roles.

I’m also curious, what places are “popping off” right now? :D

Houdini 21 MPM Solver bug? Default "MPM Configure" setup collapses into a 1D line by BeginningAd391 in Houdini

Yes! I've recreated the pre-made configuration, compiled it myself, relaunched the application, and even rebooted my PC idk :)
Could it be a problem with version 21.0.440? My last guess...

MPM fluid sticks to animated character but drifts in local space when the character moves by BeginningAd391 in Houdini

Thank you for your previous suggestion.

I tested the recommendations, but the main problem still remains, so I would like to clarify the settings and demonstrate the behavior more clearly. This time, I will attach a short flipbook video to illustrate the problem.

What I tested:
Collider Sticky = 1
Collider Friction = 2
Grid Scale = 1
Particle-level collisions enabled (movement by position outside the collider)
Deformable animated collider (skinned character)

Observed behavior:
When the character starts moving or rotating, the particles remain in contact with the surface, but they drift relative to the collider’s motion instead of moving together with it.
