Hey all! I'm a realtime VFX artist just starting to dig into Houdini. To learn the ropes I've been following this tutorial on Vimeo here [vimeo.com] and when I get to the point where he remeshes the particle fluid surface I'm seeing no change in my surface at all. I've confirmed this behavior on two different machines running Indie and Apprentice and have also checked that PolyReduce and Remesh are working on other meshes (like a sphere).
Was there a big change to how these sops work with particle fluid surfaces since the tutorial was released? If so, how should I reduce the point count on these meshes to be used in a real-time environment?
Thanks for your help!

I don't have Houdini in front of me, but it might be getting output as Polygon Soups [www.sidefx.com] rather than straight polys. In which case you would need to convert it with a Convert SOP before doing most operations on them.
