Hi there,

Just started playing around with Houdini Apprentice the other day and it looks great since the last time I tried it out but I'm just having some serious trouble selecting things and I think maybe Im doing something wrong? I just put down a grid object sand switched to face selection mode but it really doesn't seem to want to select in an intuitive way…

Check the video out if you have a sec, it would be great to get this sorted so I can get into this.

Also When I choose to render a region I get this -

(looks like everything is out of whack)

THanks

If you have an AMD mobile GPU, there are known issues with the driver and Houdini that we haven't been able to workaround.

Damn

Well I managed to get a piece of software that would force macbook to use the internal GPU rather than the AMD one and that seems to work.
The performance is way worse but it might be enough for me to get by for the moment.

Hey just wondering, If I was going to upgrade my machine, would you suggest that I avoid AMD all together?
Does Houdini just not like them (on OSX)?
