Hi!!

I don't know if SESI in siggraph answered this but, will be an open beta or will be like H11, only for custumers and one month after HD users?

Thanks.

IIRC it will be an open beta - so that includes Apprentice users.

very much looking forward to it!

In the H12 announcement article it reads:

“All of Annual Upgrade Plan customers will be given access to Houdini 12 at that time through their sales representatives and support will be offered for customers who want to port custom code to the new geometry library to take advantage of its flexible and thread-safe architecture.”

So I wouldn't count on an open beta. But maybe there will be a staged release so Apprentice users can join the beta at a later time.

studios usually have access well before anyone else (he said knowingly)
I wouldn't mind so much waiting a few weeks for the beta if I could read the journals (hint hint)

really new question.
I am looking to upgrade my apprentice, for hd 12.
And i know the gpu stuff in v12, speeds up the physics simulations.
But does it all so speed up the final rendering.

Which compiler will the windows version use ??
Still VC8 or will there we a step to VC9 ??
VC9 would make the python life on windows a lot easier, because most of the prebuild libs are VC9.

Hey, obiwandk, where did you see about the GPU stuff?! I'd be interested in reading about it…

In the v12 sneak peak.
They said they where using gpu, for pyro v2 and physics sim.
So the question was, if th final render time is influenced by the gpu.

Check out the new banner on the website. Getting closer….;-)

As we mentioned before, the final release will be dependent on when the new features are production ready - there will not be an open beta but as soon as the software is ready then it will be released to the wider community.
