Hi folks I am curious to hear some of veterans opinions on overall stability and state of Houdini. Does FX, Indie and Apprentice versions differ in stability and buggines? My own experience, as Indie user, is really solid so far, especially if I take the complexity of the software into consideration. On the other hand, I am mostly occupied with SOPs.
Thanks for any insights.
Cheers,
Igor

SIgor420in my experience stability highly depends on Houdini build and specific operations that you use

but I have not noticed differences between FX, Indie, Apprentice, ... of the same build
overall when sticking to production builds I'd rate it more stable than many other DCCs I used
but obviously newer features are always more prone to bugs, however SESI is fast to fix reproducible ones

It has been waaaaay more stable since I switched to Linux. The only thing that still creeps up from time to time is that Fragmentation Error. But its rare and most of the time I can recover my work with the saved crashfile.
I would say that Houdini (running the Fx version) is holding up pretty good. And in 99.9 % of the time it hangs the blame is on me.

Thanks, guys. I've been doing a smaller scale project and it's crashing a lot, especially when trying to render things. But that could be due to 3RD party render engine. Also, Viewport is killing me sometimes and does not display correct info to that point I have to restart Houdini.
