Having the same experience with the new fur system. The tools are great and im able to do pretty good grooms with it, but when i have 300 strokes the experience get very bad. Undo is a pain, taking 30sec and more with lots of strokes.
Is there any good reason for keeping every stroke btw? Is slowing it down?
When i groom its a destructive process
I dont want to go to stroke 154 and remove it if it looks bad, i rather just groom some more to fix the part thats not looking good.
I guess sesi is aware of the slowest part of the system and it will be faster in future releases like many other thing implemented for the first time in houdini.

Thats good news Edward!
We are are almost forced to switch to linux atm because of this, but we do like windowsland alot better since we already have everything conifgured for windows.

Maybe it should be an option to disable the tbbmalloc and use the old one instead if possible.

Seems to me that simulating whitewater also suffers from this. Growing memory in windows and stable in linux

Everything works fine now, but slashes are different in linux and windows.
In windows we cant use windows uncpaths in houdini, and in linux we cant use windows uncpaths. If we copy paste a link from explorer it wont work because of the slashes doesnt match.
Not impressed with linux/windows compability
So anyone managed to solve this issue?

Think add network location is what i was looking for.
It outputs full uncpath and is a charm to browse

Getting UNC paths to work in both linux and windows sounds like a good option. This way all software can use the same paths and work out of the box.
Than we can use hip and job and other usefull variables after unc paths is taken care of.
Anyone know a good way of using unc paths in windows/explorer? How to browse and getting correct unc paths.
To me shorcut sees to be the only way right now?
Thanks

Hi!
I was wondering if anyone had any luck creating a lut in nuke that tonemaps values over 1 and displays it the same in mplay.
When i create an opencolor animlut from nuke it wont look the same in mplay.
Hightones gets clipped and not pushed down.
See the pictures. The one coming frome nuke preserves the hightones much better than the image using a lut in mplay.
If anyone have the correct setup for saving out luts from nuke that will make it look the same in nuke and mplay i would be very grateful!
Or is this a limitation using luts in mplay?
Thanks

Hi!
Was wondering if anyone had any luck creating opencolors sonyanimation lut and sonyvfx lut for mplay? When I create a lut from nuke 7 in lut or blut format the result doesnt match what the sony luts are doing in nuke. In mplay or renderview the bright values doesnt get cliped the right way. Looks kinda clamped.
So is there anyone here that had any luck creating luts for mplay that clips bright values correct? What is the workflow? Or is this a limitation of luts or mplay?
Thanks

Quadro 4000 pluss tesla works like a charm! I would definitly go for that solution. Got the same setup. One thing that you will soon notice with the gpu simulation is all the cooking that that still needs to be done one the cpu. The things that the gpu handles is realy fast, but you need to make the sim gpu “friendly” to benefit the big speedups. Just my experience
Hoping for more gpu driven tools in the future!

When i set up a test scene with 300x300x300 reolution houdini uses 1.4gb of ram. If i buy a tesla with 6gb will i be able to sim as much as houdini can on cpu with 6gb ram? Cause i can push alot more than 300x3 resolution on 6gb of ram on cpu

What kinda fur are you making Gregjenings?
I find houdini fur very good for making short hair (bear/dog/cat and so on)
But if your making hairstyles that need alot of custum grooming i would recomend try using other software for creating the guides. Houdini lacks a good guide groomer like shave and haircut or maybe something like Hairfarm.
Cg creatures and other typcial cg fur jobs often need short hair, and for that i think houdini of the shelf fur does the job.
And i love that the grooming is proceduraly. So nice to be able to groom in layers. If you have several groom nodes or paintfur attributes nodes you can easily try out different styles without messing ut the whole groom.

Another offtopic! 8)
Have to done any comparisons between naiad and h12 flip Igor? I find the new flipsolver to be very fast, but i dont got any naiad experience to compare with.
Ive made a flip foam tool that works like naiads splash paricles. Im guessing naiad can create foam particles much faster than houdini pops, since they dont thread.

Having same issue when rendering lots of flip sims. Mantra sure loves my ram! I think this will be a more common issue for many, since its now possible to simulate and mesh very hires fluidsims.
