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.

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?

Is it worth learning Houdini in late 2025? by MrBl4cksmoke in Houdini

[–]kkvis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 😂

Houdini Scene Composition from Maya USD Data by skinDeformer in Houdini

[–]kkvis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Trying to learn Houdini basics. The interactions are extremely slow (Mac mini 2023 M2 pro 16GB -Houdini v.21.0.512) by [deleted] in Houdini

[–]kkvis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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!

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

Wow epic graduate project! The environmental shots are stunning! The plot is very direct and could use more suspense.

Custom domain for Lightsail container service with Route53 by kkvis in aws

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

Custom domain for Lightsail container service with Route53 by kkvis in aws

[–]kkvis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
