I am buying a new computer build specially for houdini.
so here are the specs with questions related
I want to be able to do heavy scene as well as heavy simulation as fast as possible.
Specs:
Case super micro 743.
865 watts power supply.
64 GB ram.
SSD 120 for operating system and software.
4 TB HD Black edition.
motherboard Super micro X8DA6.
2 * CPU 6 cores XEON 5645.
GPU UNSURE.
Q.1) should i get another SSD for caching simulation and playing them
Q.2)is there anything better for the CPU specs
Q.3)which GPU ? as i am really unsure (consider i might buy a second one later)
quadroFX 4000 2GB
GTX 690 4GB
HD radeon 7970 3GB
Tesla
Q.4)does the GTX works with tesla?
Q.5)Why get 2 cards for houdini, is it worth it?
Thanks a lot for your answers.

really nice.
my 2 cents.
slow down the animation a bit to give the feeling of heavy rock
right now(personal opinion)…it looks like your structure is small due to the speed of the objects falling.
if you do not want to add steps you could just decrease the gravity value
other than that very nice work
waiting to see the final

Houdini Indie and Apprentice » can't apply material anymore
- sami.tawil

it does work that way, my issue is that the drag and drop feature doesn't work anymore for some reason,
also when i double click a material it doesn't add to the list, i have to push on the arrow for the material to add up in the list
as much as i can see that is the only problem i have.
i reinstalled Houdini but the problem persist.
it isn't such a big deal, but it is kind of annoying
Thanks for answering

hello,
so i came back today, modeled a tower to blow up and when i tried to drop a material on my geometry, it had a blocked sign on the mouse.
also when i double click on a material nothing happens?
any idea what might be causing this

first thanks for your time
i tried everything you said….even when i do twice the same thing i do not end up with the same result
probably i should reinstall
look at the picture, probably you will get more than me…it tells me some kind of warning
Instead of you loosing your time, do you have a good link to tutorial regarding that matter?
i have a yearly plan on CMIvfx but nothing much about smoke
thanks again for your time

hello i am new to houdini.
Problem 1:
I am trying to have a RBD sphere constrained with a RBD pin constraint emit smoke.
the problem is that when i start the simulation, the smoke doesn't follow the sphere, it does emit, but stay in place
Problem 2:
if i re-size or move a container which i created with a container and populated, the container fills itself up for some reason
Thanks for answering
