Hello,
I would like to suggest tutorial series for game developers.
I believe right now there is a massive gap regarding needs of small indie developers.
I am a game programmer (Unity), I would like to make few small personal projects and the big problem I am facing is the art. I cannot really afford an artist so I decided I am gonna learn basic 3d to create simple assets myself.
Here comes Houdini with it's procedural workflow and engine that can be used in Unity. Great stuff!
Unfortunately there is no consistent set of tutorials that would teach me how to do some very basic things plus the learning curve is quite steep for someone who doesn't have lots of free time and not much experience with 3D. There is excellent Guard Tower tutorial but I believe it is not enough.
I think lots of tiny devs would love series about how to:
- procedurally make floating islands / platforms + procedurally texture them
- procedurally make level elements such as rocks, trees, bridges, fences etc
- procedurally make modular elements for dungeons (good looking walls made of brick, stone etc; arches, stairs etc)
- model, rig and animate a character + skin it using the same rig (so you could create multiple characters easily)
Ideally things made should be decent looking, quick to make low poly geometry. Right now there are few tutorials covering some aspects of it but either they are way to long and complicated or they are missing some useful parts.
Just my little input
Best regards

Hello,
Yesterday I tried to use PolySplit in 4 way split viewport.
I couldn't make it work - only one of the views allowed me to do any operations related to polysplit - mark edges etc. All other 3 views were acting like inactive, no matter what I did (I could still navigate inside view but no actions related to the tool). I could change active part of viewport to another view (front/right etc) and it still worked.
I am using apprentice version (latest 15) and model was just a box.
Any ideas?
Regards

SOLVED
I had python 3.x installed on my system and it was expecting legacy version 2.x
Dear Devs,
could you please make it say something about wrong versions? not just quietly fall back?
cheers

I went back to version 12.5.824, when I run it I get popup from hescape.exe:
Entry point not found
The procedure entry point ?PRMswitcherName@@3VPRM_Name@@A
could not be located in the dynamic link library libPRM.dll
I wonder if those two issues are connected somehow on my system

C:\Users\Siegfried\AppData\Local\Temp

Hello!
I installed Houdini Apprentice today and it doesn't start - it shows splash screen for split second and then quietly shuts down - no trace in event logs.
I have win 7 pro 64 bit with SP1, intel i5, 16GB ram, gtx 570 (driver 9.18.13.3165)
I tried to run both Houdini App versions (13.0.547 and 571), same problem.
I tried to remove app data folder - no result.
Disabled AV/Firewall (Norton 360) - nothing.
Any ideas?
thanks!
