the little things about houdini
Houdini is very good for advanced 3d tasks,but sometimes you will find it lacking many basic functions.Those little things will slow down our process.from a c4d user and motion designer’s perspective ,I really hope houdini will pay attention to those little things.
01.permanent autosave option.i know there is a script,but you should really give user the option to turn it on or off natively in houdini.
02.a little icon showing the project has changed,and you haven’t saved,in c4d it’s a * .
03.Hip file preview thumbnail.this will be a lifesaver,please,please.
04.drag and drop support.again,there is a python script,but you know.
05.multi-window support.when I want to open more than one project at the same time,it’s so annoying to start another houdini.
06.the curve node.it really needs some big improvement,the functions now are so limited.you can’t even select multi points at a time,it’s miles away from c4d’s spline module.
07.the font sop.houdini’s fonts manager is very outdated,you can’t scroll up and down,the font does not have a preview.
08.the ui.maybe a more modern and flat version?i don’t know,I just feel it’s not so intuitive now.
Those little things will have great value for motion designers,if houdini wants to attract more c4d users,please pay attention to the details.
Sorry for my English.what’s your opinion?
