My friend is having his birthday soon, and I would like to print a Houdini T-shirt for him. I want to have some funny text/quote on the back, but I can't really think of something.

Working as a Light Technician (for concerts and stuff) before, we had T-shirts that said “Mess with me - dance in the dark”, “Without lights it's just a big radio” and so on - essentially I'm trying to come up with something similar but Houdini related. But it's quite hard and I can't think of anything clever - do any of you have any ideas?

It could be anything really, maybe an expression involving ch(“../head”) or something funny. I don't know, I would be grateful for any ideas

$AGE+1

or something involving $LIFE or “birthing” of particles..?

For Houdini events at SIGGRAPH, we used to use the phrase:

get.hip

Thank you Robert for my first laugh of the week

And a good way to make someone feel old in front of those who aren't in on the pun

Don't you worry, you'll be old too before you know it

“Oh god, dad thinks he's so cool/hip…it's so embarassing!”

I suppose this is something you don't become exposed to until you hit middle age and have the opportunity to embarrass your kids. Like mums who think they know the cool acronyms, but don't, i.e. the classic:

I guess the joke being, it's one thing to be old and hip, it's another to proclaim it on your chest

So does a “.hip” as in houdini hip file actually mean someting -> Houdini I… P…? Otherwise it could have been a “.fun” file too?



In regards to the quote - it is tricky! - so here are some lame attempts

– perhaps some urban slang mix between “wassup and wasSOP” or
– “What's cookin'? (good lookin')”
– currently cooking: /dopnet1/life
– Latest production build: ..
– Happy `opdigits("/)` Birthday!
—- or perhaps a little geekier: “I am `opdigits(”.“)` old!”
– .saveAndIncrementFileName()


or more in line with your other quotes:
– Without fx it's just greenscreen

or more random: “converting particles to levelset”
“Fatal Error Avoided”

How about “Cooking Up Trouble” but it might need an image to really tie it to Houdini.

Hey thanks for all great the tips! I ultimately went with “Nothing like the smell of cooking VOPs” though, kinda cheesy but I guess it works
