It should, certainly. But Andre.. this would be a major undertaking.
The typical Houdini workflow incorporates so much custom stuff..

Is it terrible low, or is it acceptable for initial experimens?
It's enough for initial tests, for production scenes it's too low.

This must always be offset against the number of licenses (which we are painfully thin on).

While we are so happily posting into old threads..
We upgraded to 3930K recently, and I'm looking at a 1.4/1.5 times speed increase over the 2600K, depending on the task.
These things are cheap and happily beasting away..

Erik,
I guess it depends on what you need. I'm looking at 250 Euro (including german VAT) for a 32gb-Kit (4x 8GB) DDR3-1333 and 1600 1.5V (by Corsair, for example), roughly double for DDR3-1866 and overclocker-voltages (which I don't use).
I will send you a link via PM.

We have several 2600K boxes running (some since about a year), they are doing great for what little money they had cost.
Right now Non-ECC-8GB-Dimms are hitting the market in large numbers, so you can run these with 32gb ram (which I would recommend, since the modules are cheap).

I can't comment on product visualisation, but for medical visualisation we use Houdini and mantra successfully. Germs, cell structures, hormone fluids etc are all pretty easy to set up with the Houdini toolset, and mantra rendering is stable and reliable.

Great character and very convincing fur. Can you share some details on how you did it? Shadow maps on volumes or any fancy trickery?

hm, interesting. Let's see if our habit of sharing scene files might “infect” the other sections of that forum
Let's hope that CGtalk does not infect this forum here too much

Go to the ‘render’ tab of your object, and then to the ‘geometry’ tab in there.. there's an option ‘Polygons as subdivision (Mantra)’. Check that on and you're good to go.

Check the Apprentice-page. They state, that they will do a one-time conversion of all your stuff once you purchase your commercial license.

There was a time with 11 before it went gold, where it was undesireable to use the 2xx.x drivers from Nvidia and better to stick with 19x.x.
Is it safe now to use the new ones?
