Hey there
in HD 15.5.673 - this doesn't work with: $F2 ?
My IMG Seq. for Camera-Background image is: tox-001.jpg, tox-002.jpg … tox-089.jpg, etc.

Background Image is also not in Help.

Hey, what i the current state of Rendfarms for Houdini Indie v15?
The other topics are month and years old. 20-30 Amazon EC2-machines is to expensive! So are there currently any Farms like Rebus Renderfarm Service for Houdini that work?
It's the most issue for freelancer with Houdini that complex Simulation, renders not work on a single CAD PC.
In Maya, Blender, Modo, Lightwave, etc. you do your work and submit it to a farm with 300 Machines for ~2 Cent / Ghz and it done in 30 Minutes and you get the result per FTP.

Hey,
I' am also looking for HD Renderfarms - i didn't find one by searching :shock:
Amazon EC2 is not really an alternative as describe in the posts before.
Which Renderfarm supports Houdini for simulation and rendering?
Thanks!

One Click - thats sound funny. I have watched a 10 hours Houdini Fire Class on fxphd with hours of Node based Shader tweaking in hundreds of theoretical parameters and the results aren't not half of the quality from this video above.

Have you tried the shelf tool in Houdini?? you know that you need any object and with one click on the shelf tool (without no tweaking) you're going to end up with something pretty similar!

This is the old discussion - what do you needed to get realism out of Houdini?
The videocopilot Tuturial above is good example how fast and time saving you get realistic (!!!) Fire Explosion in other 3D Apps.
To get exact this result out of Houdini you need tons of hours, tons of renderpower and tons of knowledge which is was made in production ready quality in less than 50 Minutes in FumeFX.
The the volcano tutorial: (https://vimeo.com/44129053) [vimeo.com] shows 35 minutes inside HD - but NOT how you get the end result - voila here is the result. The difficult for realism begins after this tutorial.
Realism out of Houdini is possible for big Studios with the tons of ….

circusmonkeyYes, Full ACK, not successful, but learn five or more VFX Software Packages you need for ONE VFX Man independent Films in a short time and all the details later. It's the only way for people without FX-Education. I must tracking, 3D CG-Elements, VFX, Compositing and Cut-Editing all in One Person and “my” Lightwave is poor in Dynamics, Scattering, Fume, etc.
Maybe its a trend from the younger generation .Watch a video and you get all the knowledge you need to be successful.
arctor
less demand = less money (for ones that have to be bought) = less motivation to make them.
If so, that's a knock out criterion, the 3-4 hour VFX Maya, C4D project Tutorials are always sold around >150 Customers per $59 around the world i know.
arctor
"
why are you not starting a little project on your own? why do you think a tutorial will help you so much?
I have no idea in HD for a Live Action Starting-Point. Rendering a (realistic) Teapot on a windowsill Photo is easy and not the goal, but from this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoTD6gTLkHQ [youtube.com]
to this
http://bit.ly/qE3FZI [bit.ly]
it is IMHO not possible without a FX-Education or detailed training knowledge about the Software, all there technical capabilities and the absolute correct Workflow and for 100% realism: the Devil is the Detail …. :evil:
And all guys who have the self assurance to laugh about this Thread, don't talk about it, let images do the talking - the Houdini WIP Galleries doesn't have realistic VFX for Film, only polish full CG ProductVIZ or Testrenders (quick and dirty).
VFX-Film Apprentice less demand = CLOSED.

tamteYes, i know this way for LW
if you know how to integrate 3d object into live footage in Maya, Max, Softimage, Cinema, Lightwave, Blender or whatever 3D soft.
tamte1. Yes
That is skill is easily transferable to Houdini
2. Yes
3. project footage in Houdini, never seen.
4. Yes, need no models, imported form LW
5. animate in Houdini almost identical for all - never!
6. this is the 1st main goal for Realism!!
7. this is the 2nd main goal for Realism!!
8. Not needed, Fusion
Shading, Lighting, Rendering for Live Action, these are the main goals for Realism, but the most Lessons ends before this Realism.
Yes, you can do all this by your own, with hours and hours and more hours trying. You can also close all Full time FX Schools - everyone can learn FX Software by self - it is a question how long you need!!
Tutorials speed up this process and focus to things to what you need for an expected result. This is the sense and idea of FXPHD for example: project based Softwaretraining!
I close this with a simple question, that is never answered:
Why exists dozen of this full project based and realism Lice Action Lessons for Maya, Max, XSI, C4D, Lightwave, etc. and not even ONE for the complex Houdini with the slowest learning curve - this i never understand :roll:

jeffThats not difficult
I am confused as to what you really want.
ONE only ONE, no Series, not complete Cinema-Film only ONE small photorealism Result - Start to End Lesson - Live Action integration with Houdini relateted stuff - no Pre-Viz, “no get the idea”, no TD - Finals - (Renderpasses) out of Houdini, ready for 100% seamless Live Action integration - Live Action interacting with CG-Elements, Light for Live Action, Shading for Live Action, one time the complete Houdini-Workflow!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM97LbyXQ5o [youtube.com]
I don't need on Set or Compositing - i'am looking for Houdini for Production.
jeff
…watching the Peter Quint Vimeo training files over that time…
I watch them ALL, they are nice learning HD - but all are non photorealism results, not able to use in Live Action Scene: on the end of each Training i always ask me: "How to get this result photorealism in Houdini"?
ONE only ONE photorealism movie stuff (no Product-, ArchVIZ), rendered with Houdini and able for seamless Live Action integration - there are tons for Maya, 3DMAX, XSI, C4D, Lightwave, etc. – no i'am not bored, show me one - yes it is hard to find for Houdini since 1 Year…… :roll:

no tutorial is going to teach you all the things you need to know to achieve the kinds of things you are talking about.
Thats right But if there is NOT any realism stuff on the web, HD is to complex to figure out the workflow for all that what you need for FX. And outside a classic FX school this works about Tutorials, but again HD is the only 3D App with poor realism project stuff.
At od there is many “fun” stuff, but also not any realism WIP or VFX Film Project Thread, here is also no response for FX - so HD isn't use outside the big Studios, except to play around with useless test renders.
You never have to asked for Maya, MAX, etc. FX Lessons - the “Maya VFX Serie, 3 hours” i posted above - is the 3rd part meanwhile.
I use Lightwave/Fusion for Independent Low Budget Non Commercial Movies for Film Festivals and was looking at HD for scattering, Fire, Smoke, Dynamics … Perhaps is Houdini so complex, that is not possible to show realism FX in 3 Hours!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIgKErr6suM [youtube.com]
It seems to look at other software with more Realistic Project based Lessons.

I'am always waiting for good VFX, seamless live Action integration for Artists (NO mathematic TD)? There was an announced here in Jan 11 [sidefx.com], but nothing happens.
At the moment only FXPHD has this longer and detailed realism fx for Film with Houdini in project based and time saving complete Classes in there pipeline [fxphd.com]….
The complete VFX HD workflow for seamless CG integration, including tracking data, Set extension, environment lightning, shading and rendering special the HD Stuff like for example breakable, scattering to create a smashing dynamics simulation with Smoke, Dust into live Action or other complete projects made and organized in Houdini or perhaps in the AfterEffects, NUKE, Fusion pipeline.
HD Basics
http://vimeo.com/16544171 [vimeo.com]
The “Go procedural” next advanced level to get this Basics above photorealism in live Action Integration.
This project based stuff exists for Maya, C4D, 3DMAX, etc.
Maya VFX - 3 hours
