Hi,
I have a problem with Houdini (Indie, 14.0.258) on my laptop, where polygons appear invisible in the viewport when I use a shaded mode (both for flat shaded or smooth shaded).
My laptop is a Surface Pro 3, and I have installed all windows updates.
Any ideas why this is happening, and what I could do to fix it?
Another oddity I am experiencing, is that the viewport is initially unresponsive when booting up Houdini. Only when I select another tab (like Animation Editor etc.), and back again to Scene View, it comes alive. I don't know if this issue could be related to the invisible polygons.
I hope someone can help, thank you

Thanks for your replies - that sounds good
Regarding the .hip/.hipnc stuff is that just to make the files from Apprentice incompatible with the FX commercial edition?

Hi,
I am considering to start learning Houdini and I was thinking about buying the Houdini Apprentice HD, but I am wondering if I can start using the free Aprentice version (non HD) and then later buy a license for Apprentice HD without having to reinstall the software - so in other words is the free version the same software that just needs to be activated in order to work in full HD and without watermarks?
Also, I am a little in doubt if there are any significant differences between Houdini Apprentice HD and Houdini FX apart from the latter being for commercial use?
Thanks in advance
