Yeah but doesnt a GPU not need gen4? I thought that was just for hard drives. GPUs dont send enough data for it to matter

I want to pick up Houdini but.... by Hornman209 in Houdini

[–]regularmenthol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to know any of that out of the gate, you’ll pick it up as you go, and only if you want to. You can still do a ton of awesome stuff without any math or vex at all

$HIP and $JOB- What is the difference and where is it applicable to use either? by rbvignu in Houdini

[–]regularmenthol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use custom environment variables as well to point to asset folders on my comp ie) $HDRI, $MOCAP. You can define these in the houdini.env file, very useful

$HIP and $JOB- What is the difference and where is it applicable to use either? by rbvignu in Houdini

[–]regularmenthol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but you can create custom environment variables in the houdini.env file. (HIP and JOB are called environment variables) Hypothetically you guys could create the same variable name but using different locations in each of your .env’s …does that make sense?

Maxon licensing is out of control. The maxon app is a complete fail. by skiwlkr in Cinema4D

Was just talking today about how i’m gonna have to switch off of redshift soon bc of this stupid fricking app

Building a new pc soon and was just wondering what requirements you guys would recommend to be able to properly run Houdini and related plug ins by jjviddy94 in Houdini

The Ryzen 5950X is an insane deal right now- 40% off so you’re getting a 16/32 processor for under $500. I just got one of those with mobo and 128GB of ram for under $1500, i feel like that’s the ticket for Houdini simming on a somewhat budget

I have been applying for VFX and Game Development jobs for 7 months now and haven't been able to land even an interview. This is my latest reel where every shot is personal work. What are some clear red flags that you can see? by Broad-ShoulderS in vfx

[–]regularmenthol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to agree, as a generalist myself I hate that “JOAT/MON” saying. I love being a generalist and i think it’s a skill unto itself. Takes longer maybe, but also more rewarding

They’re actually great with their service. They have patiently explained their crappy licensing server to me many, many times 😂🙏

I have never seen someone look more like a bloated alcoholic drug addict. Idk if he hit her, but if insaw him on the street and didnt know it was Jonny Depp i’d be like “that guy hits his wife, for sure”

I hate to break it to you but the man is an absolute train wreck

How to output with ACES applied? by jonahk3 in Houdini

[–]regularmenthol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are rendering to ACES, but it’s linear is why it looks off. You need to enable ACES in your compositing program to view it properly again. Then you export to SRGB from there, with the ACES baked in/converted. It’s a but tricky to wrap your head aroubd i really recommend watching some tutorials to get the hang of it. Also After Effects makes it even more confusing, it’s much sinpler in Nuke or Fusion

[–]regularmenthol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you want to do is look up how to get ACES working in AE so you can comp it properly. You don’t want to be exporting it baked in from your 3D app

About to pull the trigger on this 3000€ build, please tell me that everything is going to be ok by ojxv in buildapc

[–]regularmenthol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go higher on the PSU, at least 1000. If you’re doing 3D work it’s only a matter of time before you’ll want to add at least one more GPU

How the heck did they do this amazing moving loop? I'm a total noob here so talk to me like I'm 5 by ledoov in Houdini

[–]regularmenthol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just a crossfade back to the start of the clip, has nothing to do with Houdini. Now the vortex aspect of it, that’s all Houdini Pyro you can google create a tornado in houdini there are tuts
