Hey guys sorry to butt in but i just checked this file out and the render crashes when you render the cropped camera. Now the regular camera renders fine… I'm running Houdini 8.0.564 build on a dual Amd Opteron 275 dual core 2 gig ram and quadra fx 1100 card latest drivers Boxx machine running Win xp … It gives some wierd message on the mplay : UT_NetPacket::write: No such file or directory mantra: Network Error Unable to write data…So i used mplay for output picture … And it works fine….. So i don;t understand it … if it;s just a setting issue or if it;s mantra….

Yeah i installed in Maya but there is an issue still is to weather to use the shaders that don't show on the model from the Gelato libaray that comes with the beta version.. The interface with it is sweet but for some reason my computer stallswhen i use it. A dual opteron but in any case the render looks pretty nice but then again anything looks better then the maya render.. Which is another reason to Know Houdini as the defualt render looks great…
BUt i have tried to get into renderman but at school we don;t have any licenses of it. I don;t think they will either. As they are Pure Maya freaks in school. What i do like is the way houdini can creae both types of shaders form Mental ray to Renderman all in it;s package..

thanks for the advice guys …..

Well i;m currently at the School of Visual arts in NYC. There is no Houdini people in my school right now besides me and this other guy. There were some that has interned at SESi which i hope to do one day. BUt from what i know and remember there isn;t many houdini hguys left here in NY. There were One guy from Rhino but he;s at Sony now and my frineds i used to work with which are at DD and Sony. The only person who is a houdini avocator is one of my teachers who used to work at DD who told me to get back into it and that is more in demand then the MAYA people but i want to have a good grasp of both incase i can;t make it into a Houdin house. But I am in the process of developing my thesis and R and D process for it and houdini was my choice for the fx in it and maya for the charcter part. BUt you can go to Amazon.com for the Ilm books and DD book . Great stuff in them from how they did star wars through the digital in the ILm books. the DD book covers cool concepts in Cg and making of a bunch of cool movies they worked on . From Apollo 13 to Grinch if i can remember off the top of my head. I was asking about Atlanta because my brother has been tring to get me to move there since he went down.. Scad atlanta in the fall they said they will be offereing the VFX part of their degree and more in the spring… I have been in and out of school for not having much money so i know how it feels interning everywhere posible. I have learned various parts of Prisms when it was out i have the tapes and the books .. I also tried to get into houdini since beta but I somehow want to make it my prime package .. I;m wondering if the Rigid bodies Houini are solid so i can play with it and do some tests..

I bought it for the way he explains the VFX pipeline and tells the reader how to create your own if you want to for your own works or own studio.. The examples in the book are all houdini files but i guess you can use them for other apps too. You can download examples from the book off the publishers website. MatrixNAN do they use Houdini in Atlanta?? U should get this book very good explaionations.. The only books i have found for FX iis the ASC treasury of Visual Effects book you can buy it online at the asc website.. It tells you how the older fx movies were done. As well as the ILM books Digital Domain book and the regular books they say to get.. But most are all either MAYA or Lightwave books or 3d max books. from what i have seen. I have seen and used partly Houdini since Prisms and Houdini is the only one that i have seen that gives you this much power with out writing a bunch of mel scripts or use plug ins like the rest.. I wish i would of stuck to Houdini from the begining I would of finished my thesis a while ago..
I hear they will teach it at the New scad school down there they are going to be adding it this fall . thinking about making the trip to learn it finally and sticking to it.

I was wondering the same question about if Houdini can use Gelato for anything? I mean it has a direct connect to Maya as a plug in. I was wondering how one can link houdini to it. I have a quadro fx 1100 card would that be a good card to have for this type of thing? Any suggestions if it can be worked out so one can use Gelato from houdini?
