Hi just about to finish building my new system, I've moved away from intel after becoming some what un happy about how the company does business etc…
But just curious about how Houdini preforms with AMD 955? how smoothly does it operate and any known issues.
cheers all

The lastest version of Catalyst display driver (9.4) just do the trick !
Worked for me on a laptop using mobility radeon HD3470. Everything’s just fine, Blender too!
Had similar issue with my new 5770, just installed the new drivers and now Silo, Houdini work perfectly.

PS - the reason it is so cheap is because we want to support students and artists working on personal projects and because you can't use it for commercial purposes…
Well thats more than what Autodesk has ever done Makes me feel more like supporting this brilliant little app
With the HD version, from what I understand I'd be able to put the work I do in a demo reel, work with mod groups, and post the stuff about on the net. As long as it's not for a commercial purpose… Just to clarify.

Answering your last question. If you have a dual booth you will need two licenses.
Aww thats sucky I think Silo will run under wine with some changes…just a pitty about photoshop, and UT…maybe someday.

Well it does sound very nice indeed, I found the max com to be large but very ummm quiet to people when asking for some help.
I normally do the majority of my modeling in Silo which is a little sim to max but more refined. Rendering, particles, etc are what I'm wanting to do with houdini.
If it tickles my fancy I think I'll go and fork out 2,000 for a nicer copy in the long term.
btw I'm working on becoming a environments/ assets game artist. So far I'm doing very well ^^ I can use max, Blender, Silo, Photoshop, UT2004, UT2003, Hammer, Maya and XSI (to an extent), Gimp, blah and some other things that I can't remember.
But I'm looking forward to trying it out and seeing how powerful it really is, I've only been playing with the free copy and so far I'm enjoying it a lot.
Thanks for answering some of my question guys

Hi all, been looking about for a cheap, powerful and very usable app for my ever growing 3d needs I've been using max for the last 3 years (student) but getting sick of the price and well I don't like max that much nor maya on the topic either.
And a friend suggested this, and I'm going to have to agree from what I've seen Houdini is a brilliant app ^^, I'm looking into getting the Student copy for $99 but was some what uncertain about why it's so awesomely cheap? all the cool stuff locked out? but yeh I really love the look of it and am very tempted to buy a copy ^^ esp since Side effect support Linux which also comes to one other question; If I have a dual boot of windows/ linux would I be able to install to both of those or would it be considered to be more than one computer?
sry about the kinda hyper typing I've been drinking lots of coffee
