hi guys , i just wondering to know that did anyone run Houdini on PS3? and how do it feel ?

thanks~~

i am planning to buy some PS3 as workstation, is it posible?

This won't work, since the PS3 doesn't use an Intel or AMD CPU.

Cheers,

Hm, I'm using my Wii as a render node since two months now, so it's working for sure. And with the added power of Sony Playstation 3 ™ market-leading multi-threaded and multi processor advanced high-bandwidth scalable high-resolution “Beyond HD / Under 2K” ™ graphics performance I'm sure we'll see much “improved viewport interaction” ™ within Houdini itself.

Someone please tell me this isn't another viral campaign. Please.

You mean a Playstation viral campaign?

I wish.

Well, since Ubuntu is my os of choice, there's this.

Mind you, I'm not sure of opengl support. Is it there? Standard?

If it's just for a render node, then ubuntu is overkill.

hi, did you run your rendering with 1 Wii or plenty Wii ?

i am so excited when i know that some scientist used 8 or 16 PS3 combine to be a supercomputer and run on linux system . i just wondering if we can used it to run houdini , wao , whats a amazing miracle!

any suggest ?

Find another hobby?

It's plenty of Wii's and if your computer has Bluetooth you can integrate Nintendo DS as well. Unfortunately because of the limited resources of DS you can only render 512x512 shadow maps with it.
Unfortunately Xbox cannot be used. It's proprietary while PS3 is open, as we all know.

don't forget the currently experimental standalone DOPs engine on iPhone - perfect for tweaking those parameters while you're commuting or dining. love it.

erm , just wish anyone can success and told us

Hi,
I saw that exist Houdini 9.5.379 for Sony Cell processor.
It's Amazing. I want to try.
My question is:
Ps3 have just 256Mb Ram , it could render a common scene?
May i launch mantra render with IFD on such few ram?
If any could answer, i'll appreciate.

No, I wouldn't bother. This wasn't designed for a PS3, it was intended for a cel server, which hasn't really taken off.

Hi All,

I've already got Houdini on my mac and pc, so I'll give the linux on PS3 a bash and let you all know how it goes.
