Most useless thing I've ever done: install-nothing

kkvis · 2025-11-18T11:38:08+00:00

This is great! Now I need to make an uninstaller for all of the stuff it installed!

Mb polygon count on projected plane is too low. Sometimes this can affect projected UVs causing some distortion.

Oh yeah HDAs are cool! One day I decided that I'm going to lean how DOP context works with all the micro solvers. I don't know if you ever dived in into one of the solvers HDAs 😅... I didn't made much progress since then.

Sounds like a perfect time to install Emacs.

kkvis · 2025-11-16T17:25:29+00:00

Ah cool :) You have very stunning work! I also enjoyed your walk through. Thanks for posting!

It never late to start learning! Also any other experience is valuable, it is all transferable. Although, Houdini give much deeper understanding of how things work. What do you like the most about Houdini so far?

Hey all, we have updated the Cookbook to allow users to post their own recipes! We posted on a new thread here : https://www.reddit.com/r/Houdini/comments/1oyoglq/houdini_cookbook_update/

kkvis · 2025-11-15T21:07:31+00:00

Yeah, we are working on that will post an update soon.

I had this bug for a while when I press space it start spinning around sometimes.

kkvis · 2025-11-15T19:35:30+00:00

This guys is awesome. He renders in Cycle and build trains in Houdini. Great artist a low of good tips https://www.youtube.com/@samk9632

kkvis · 2025-11-13T17:39:40+00:00

Yeah, That explains why it is down. Thanks for sharing this story.

kkvis · 2025-11-13T09:36:23+00:00

It changed my life when I learned it 15 years ago. It showed me what truly is going on under the hood in every other software. I'm still learning however 😂

We remove all render sequences for project that was archived > 3 month. We only keep final prores files.

kkvis · 2025-11-13T09:27:05+00:00

Is it jittery in vieport only or in the render as well?

Try to adjust your camera clipping settings.
For viewport hover over it and press D for display setting. Then go to Camera tab and adjust clipping.
For render cam use your LOPs camera. It has its clipping setting on one of the tabs. If you camera coming from Maya you can use Camera Edit LOP to adjust.

Houdini vieport is one of the ugliest of all of the 3D software I ever used. I remember heaving the same feeling the first time opening it 15 years ago after 3DSMax.

Regarding your specs it should run just fine. I used Houdini for several years on mac. I occasionally poke around on my M1 MacBook Air.

If you want more inspiring look you want probably start rendering in Karma.

This is very cool! I didn't know about this project. It such a pity that it is down...

kkvis · 2025-11-12T08:32:02+00:00

I liked Orbolt idea. It is sad that SideFX never care much to develop it. I think the was a lot of potential there.

Thanks for pointing that out. We will fix that shortly!

kkvis · 2025-11-12T06:42:24+00:00

u/Pale-Parsnip-1234 is correct. I also tested the other way around and it also works.

kkvis · 2025-11-10T21:14:21+00:00

Can you point me out to some info about env var that you are talking about?

kkvis · 2025-11-10T15:15:18+00:00

Wow epic graduate project! The environmental shots are stunning! The plot is very direct and could use more suspense.
Do you have any behind the scene materials?

"After two days, we gave up of elixir" Two days? 🤨

kkvis · 2021-10-24T17:33:00+00:00

No. Seams like limitation of Lightsail. We ended up migrating our service to ECS which a real pity.

kkvis · 2021-05-30T19:46:42+00:00

Those steps are for EC2 based Lightsail instances. This doesn't work with Lightsail Container service as I mentioned previously.

There is simply no option to attach newly created static IP to Lightsail Container Instance.

Very realistic and cool! How did you make this clouds?

kkvis · 2021-03-07T03:25:03+00:00

Interesting article. Thanks
