Houdini Indie and Apprentice » Why Is Houdini Apprentice HD So *AWESOME* In Its UI?...

The fact that it's there in the bottom right hand corner of the viewport all the time has actually saved our users and us a LOT of headaches. It's helpful, not ‘obnoxious’, and it's unlikely to change.

See this thread for some cloth collision tips. You've probably tried ‘em already, but just in case you hadn’t:

Houdini Indie and Apprentice » Why does my cloth sim fail?

Yup - it's a known issue. To correct for it, bump up the divisions as anamous suggested AND go into your AutoDopNetwork, select the grid_object1 node, and in the Material tab, turn on Constrain Stretch. That way those pesky holes in your cloth won't stretch themselves wide around the collision points.
Try that and you'll be closer to what you're looking for.

Houdini Indie and Apprentice » crashing or freezing on launch? update your graphics driver
- chrism

Q. Houdini is crashing or freezing on launch. What do I do?
A. Many of these issues can be solved simply by updating your graphics driver. For ATI you need 8.44 or higher. For NVIDIA you need 169 or higher. Once you have a workstation graphics card installed with the latest driver, Houdini should start up without any problem.
(this is a bug that we're working on, but in the meantime, there ya go)

wasn't there a way for us to change the splash screen? I thought there was… I am sure this will pleased everyone.
C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 9.5.174\houdini\pic
houdinisplash.pic is the one to replace if you're running Master.

Well, it makes sense. However, as I mentioned before, when I first followed the video tutorial (from the sidefx video tutorials) one wasn't needed. The preview would show the chrome material just fine. In the tutorial, the spoon is modeled and applied the material without an environment map and it worked just fine as I followed it.
That was one of the first bugs I logged when I got here. There's been a few changes in the software since those videos were made.

Did you get any Vista updates recently? I got a recent update (by accident) and since then, things have not gone well for me at all. Luckily I'm still on winxp 64bit for my main platform.
We're checking it out right now.

Houdini Lounge » ATI driver 8.44 fixes selection delay woes

Hidey ho! Just wanted to let you know that ATI's 8.44 driver (released Dec.20) fixes the selection delay bug that made things really slow in Houdini (on windows) when selecting in the viewport. (Depending on how complex your scene was, the delay could be anywhere from 10sec - 30 sec or more.)
Anyhoo, it's fixed now. Thanks ATI!
You can grab the driver from www.amd.com
EDIT: windows driver
