Hello everyone
I want to make an open source short using Houdini Indie and I would like to know the limitations, if any, to such a project! 🤔

The main limitations are the Indie revenue cap , the use of .hiplc limited commercial file formats, and the fact that Indie assets can't be mixed into a commercial Houdini pipeline.
The finished film can be freely distributed, and you can opensource the project files, assets, and tools.
Contributors would just need a compatible Houdini license to work with the source files.

Cool, I thought so, thanks for the clarification!
