Good day to all of you I just got into Houdini and i can tell u know I'm loving it for dynamics of course I'm sure I've only scratch a small part of what this software package can do, but to the question at hand.
I have thoughts of using some of Houdini's tools to do some small effects and animations for a compositing class. So i need to know what my limitation are using Apprentice Ver. Will I be able to render out sequences with Alphas that i can composite into After Effects? I would rather not waist to much time make cool FX for not.
btw i have to use AE for this can't use Houdini's inside compositor.
Cheers

The only limitations are shown at this page [sidefx.com]. And if you don't mind that really little watermark, go for it !
If you want to render out sequences with an alpha channel just set an output file format that supports alpha, or render a separate alpha sequence.

If you can't script/program it, it's no good at all !

Render your images as a *.picnc format. This way you won't have any watermark whatsoever on it. Then you compose it in Halo and save result in format usable outside Houdini like png/tiff/etc.
cheers!
