Will Houdini be supported and compatible with AR? Can Python be utilized to write scripts for Houdini to work with AR? How would you best recommend approaching work with Houdini and AR?

Is anyone using the new 5k iMac? If so how do you like it? How is your workflow in Houdini?

Hi malbrecht I get the point which is to be more specific. However we are trying to setup a workstation and obviously wouldn't be able to know the exact scene information without having created it yet. Which is why I'm asking a more broad question of how you could work between all 3 simultaneously in a given scenario, and what hardware would be required to do so

We are putting together a system and we want to make sure we have enough power to support what we want to do in software. We are getting ready to buy 3 computers we will have Motion Graphics software on one, the effects software Houdini on another, and Nuke on the third. So if we are working on one project how do we combine all 3 to work together simultaneously? We are trying to see right now what is the best hardware to compliment the software.

At a bare minimum for example if we have a program like Clarisse running an incredible environment and we have Houdini that does an incredible explosion and we have Nuke that ties everything together in compositing and lighting. Can we run all this simultaneously together if we have 64-128 GB of RAM inside the computer? With a graphics card what are the differences we will see in performance if we have 12GB, 24GB, or 48GB of DDR6 RAM? Can you compare and contrast what you will be able to run simultaneously depending on how much RAM we have in the computer and on the graphics card? Thank you

Are you working on Mac, PC, or both? Which one do you like best or do you like both? Please list your favorite things.

Hi guys!
With the new i7 6850 k Broadwell chip if I am using Vray to render in the
background does this new chip allow me to work with another application
simultaneously in the foreground like Houdini? Does anyone have a
preferred graphics card that you like to use for houdini that is under $3,000? What are the
advantages of having 128 gb of ram over 64 or 32 gb when working in the
Houdini environment? What can you do with the extra storage? What other
software or hardware solutions let you access the ram memory from the
motherboard like the octane render software to speed up your work
environment?
