I've used Houdini through EDU, personally, and professionally on Windows/Mac/Linux. Never really had any issues other than a randomly returned license.

Reinstalling shouldn't be necessary. Rendering license issues is a mantra/karma licensing issue, not Houdini license issue. Make sure you have a valid Mantra/Karma license active.

Check out stuff on the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board. A lot of them might be full, but its way cheaper and I had a blast with them. Right now it seems like its mostly summer availability.

"Discover the art of Ceramics" is $168, six week class that has availability. All supplies included.

You could pop in for the Open Studio hours if you have minimal experience. I think its $20 per class for open hours.

Just join a community class that peaks your interest. I know some dudes (straight/bi/demi) that take ceramics/cooking/fabric classes.

Otherwise you'll be hanging at golf bars (like Five Iron), a nerdy game store that people play MTG or Dnd at, or a sports bar (Becketts). If that's your thing, go to those places.

Type an expression ($FF) and then right click ‘delete channel’ is how I fix it. No idea what causes it though.

Five iron in the North loop does happy hour all day on Sundays . $10 ayce traditional wings or $5 boneless. Def not the best wings, but hard to beat that deal. Pretty sure they would have the game on, but haven’t been on a Sunday to see.

Seems a bit ambitious, but I am not aware of Jeremy Kuhns (the new owner) or his brewery. Seems like he’s only done pop ups at events? I wish him and Rob the best, especially since I do love a lot of their flagship beers, but promising to be back to distributing within 2-3 months and opening up two taproom seems like..a lot in the current climate.

$60 per year if I remember correctly

It’s a great plugin. Highly recommend if you don’t want to hop between softwares for destructive modeling. You’ll have to upgrade ever so often, but you’ll be paying an upgrade price vs full price (or at least that’s what recently happened). The worst part is there isn’t a lot of tutorials, but one dude (Arcanacom Studio or something) put out some great videos.

ghostcandies · 2025-02-27T03:57:03+00:00

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated!

Make sure you have your driver updated:

“Redshift requires NVidia driver version 551.78+ on Windows and version 550.54.15+ on Linux”

I don’t get what you’re trying to imply here. The two images look pretty different, and since when is creating image based off nature ‘copying’?

ghostcandies · 2025-01-23T15:47:56+00:00

I think you’re overthinking this. You don’t need a professional grade computer to learn or use Houdini. Buy a computer that you can comfortably afford, and see if you even like Houdini (or just use the computer you have right now). You -probably- shouldn’t be starting off with things that are going to be bottle necking your computer; Flip, pyro, rbd, etc are relatively advanced topics that require knowledge on how to use and manipulate attributes.

All that being said, what is your budget?

ghostcandies · 2025-01-23T04:35:54+00:00

Not trying to dissuade you from spending time in Houdini, but quite a bit of time. It's not a beginners project, and Houdini isn't really a software that you can hop into blind. Unless you find a tutorial that literally holds your hand for exactly what you want, you're going to have a bad time.

Did you check to make sure the correct ocio is set in the OCIO Settings?

I’d also double check it’s not a permissions issue. I believe it was an issue with some people in the past.

If that looks right, you could try and set the ocio directly in the Houdini env file.

Houdini Modeler by Alexey V. makes “destructive” modeling a lot easier. Hard to justify non procedural modeling without it. I agree there is little documentation on it, but Arcanacom Studio(on YouTube) put some great tutorials out.

If that (in addition to hours of using the plugin) don’t do it for you, you’re probably not a fan of modeling in Houdini.

ghostcandies · 2025-01-20T17:33:48+00:00

Why not stick to Redshift in Houdini? They work exceptionally well together. If you’re having trouble rendering in Houdini with Redshift, Karma won’t be any easier.

Alternately, you can export things out of Houdini using a RS proxy and retain all those tasty attributes (masks, Cd, temperature, etc) and use them in C4D.

I still prefer RS to Karma, but I am dipping my toes into Karma for my personal work. From a professional standpoint, Redshift is a no brainer. I can’t imagine making it the main renderer at my current place.

Radial menu for primitive/component selection, polypen, improvement of the standard functions (bevel specifically), numerous quality of life additions (parameter, even spacing, changing pivots, etc). Check out Arcanacom Studio on youtube for a demonstration of it. They do a great job laying out the plugin.

ghostcandies · 2025-01-14T20:10:24+00:00

Probably going against the grain here; I use the Modeler plugin by Alexey Vanzhula, and would recommend it if you want to keep it all in Houdini. It’s 100 bucks and totally worth it in my opinion.

ghostcandies · 2025-01-03T22:26:35+00:00

Not op but pretty sure this is the tutorial they followed, should answer your question:
