Hi, I'm a new user of Houdini, trying to switch from Maya to it for dynamics/particles purpose…

I saw on the “v11 what's new” that there's a way to activate multithreading for dynamics by setting this environnment variable :

HOUDINI_MULTITHREADED_COOKING = 1

I'm on Linux and it seems that it's just not working…
any idea about that ?

thanks
a lot

The docs state that HOUDINI_MULTITHREADED_COOKING is an experimental OBJECT feature and is not really ready to day to day use. There is no mention that it works with dynamics or any other context. I would recommend leaving it disabled.

Also, please try and avoid posting the exact same thread more than once.

Hi, thanks for the answer, I thought that if the option exists, it worth the try to test it

And about the double posting, I think it's a bug…I never post this message 2 times.. ?!?

EDIT : second thread deleted
