I was tring to create a sim in real flow that I saved and exported out. I would like to bring it in to houdini for the rest… I am wondering aside from the dll's for windows from DCA is there other steps into the import of this sim..?
all help would be great…

Hey guys this sounds like the revolutionis starting up to get more training material to peoples hands very soon.. Frech Op ‘s dvd are awesome on l systems… Robert if i would be able to put together a list of stuff that can be put on dvd’s i would say almost every class you guys give would proably get a vote…
As far as using Gnomon well that's cool but i think just they way you guys put in the stuff on the ones you get when you go to the class should be fine… No real menus needed just the files to go along with the videos… Maybe some notes to be put in to help explain… that might be a good way.. i think sesi can do that and make some money on the side as well….
Not trying to stur up problems but i think everyone would buy them…

Hey guys I would as well.. I was talking to them about making the dvd;s avaliable from these classes … They don;t have the structure for that like lets say Gnomon or Total training..
I would love to see all of this stuff go online or in forms of dvd's… I hear that Cmi Studios are getting alot of the Houdini stuff on the way.. Those dvd;s are very good.. The lsystems dvd was very informative as well as the Procedural city… They are going to be moer and more dvd;s on the way…
It would be nice if Sesi can make their classes into dvd;s for those who can;t attend i;m pretty sure their user base would more then welcome such en effort….

Very extensive as well educational in houdini training ,,, The Garman and Craig Dvd's are great as well. The Cmi studiodvd's are quite amazing. The houdini book as well as the 50 hints of Houdini except of the bigger book from Graig is all you need to really get in depth on houdini. what ever they don;t cover online Docs in the help section for the unexplained….
All this you should be rather familar with houdini and if your an artist put that talent into it.. U have a great waepon at your side….. thanks you guys for all this great stuff…

I got it on Monday… Ups.. So it wasn;t that long at all.. I guess since it comes from Dallas all of their DVD:s it might tale a while… It took me less then a week to get the intro Dvd when it came out… I live in NYC i don't know if makes a difference.. But so far the dvd is really good.. I think it might be somewhat more for the beginer then the experienced user.. But you never know.. The example were pretty good… I just wish they would of shown the Building set up from the website and the help menu… I wanted to see that since i have a similar project to do wanted to learn that part… I hope you guys get it soon it;s worth it…

I was wondering if anyone else has taken a peek at this great resource and overview of Dynamics in Houdini yet… I just got my copy today and it s very good at explaing the concepts around the dynamics engine in Houdini.. Very comprehensive and easy to follow..
The examples i haven't gotten to dive in them just yet as i'm still looking at the videos but they show alot of different ways to set up a dynamics scene … He goes into some deep explaining in the begining so you can get the overall concept of how dynamics work…
As you go further into the the dvd he shows you how the colisions can be set up in multiple ways.. Sorry to sound like I'm just rambleing but i really liked this release of a dvd ..
Thanks Craig for this awesome resource.. I hope your book comes out soon because your Pdf is awesome as well..

Houdini Lounge » How would I make houdini a better modeler? Oh, I'm so glad..

How more ignorate can You be with fake sud d's in maya and the some what retarded way of doing alot of things in max… Modeling you can do in maya or max and houdini same concept different way to do it..
I know a guy who can blow out a ,model in houdini and maya faster and better then most. He left both for a great product called Zbrush… you can use what ever you want and inport it to there scupt it like a real sculpter and then bring back to your weapon of choice and then bang iut out…
With version 2.5 you can do a billion more stuff then you can with maya hands down with out it crashing on 20 million poly model… layers apon layers of modeling techniques with out ever mesing with the original model brought into the package.. Plus Even xsi is a better process to modeling then maya ..
As far as Maya 8 there have been a rehalll of most modeling tools sets from the user group meeting .. But as one Steve Williams said many hardcore MAYA artisains have convered to Houdini and will never want to go back….. for anything for animation or modeling lighting and most diffienctly VFX and RBD,… as it blow the hell out maya right now.. as to say HOudini has been King of VFX for over 10 years… Maya has had to play catch up since maya came out…
SO i would think u are or could be more educated in your stuff on modeling then you can be.. to make your life easier and more productive then to ask SesSi to waste time on this sort of request… WHich could be more of a better deal … for you and everyone here… SO i sugest you go get a hold of zbrush see if you can pick it up then be one with your self on modeling ….
That;s if you don;t use it already.. But never try to come and put down something you can;t comprehend unless you have been there and done it… it;s another level of thought that is released with Houdini that will never come with MAYa unless your a mel guru coder… but then again even with that you can;t touch houdini…. defualt.. heheh… stright from a guy i met at Siggraoh from ILM….
