Show us your work Korny and we can advise.
No one here knows if you do simple motion graphics working out of your parents garage or are an über-A grade artist. We all have helped you over the last year and yet there is a still a ‘you guys don’t know about these other tools that are so great', where-as we were probably using them were you were a toddler!
Usually people blame the tools instead of working with them.
I should have known that this bullshit is going to come up again but I will explain it to you again. Just for you and very slow, so that you can follow:
It's not about me in particular.
It seems that you bid very high, since you über-A artists are using this stuff since I'm a toddler. Ok, I get it. You think you are so great and you know so much more about 3D stuff than I do, so answer me my counterquestion:
Why is it, that I havn't seen a detailed model, entirely modeled in Houdini, neither from you nor anybody else?
Why is it, that on Digital Tutors, at this very moment, there are just 4 modeling tutorials for Houdini but countless modeling tutorials for all the other 3D softwares.
Do a Google image search for “Houdini detailed model”.
Then do the same search for Maya, Max, Cinema 4D, Blender….
You wanna talk about über-A grade artists?
Let's take ILM for example, the founding fathers of VFX…..I mean only if you think that these guys are good enough for an über-A grade level….maybe you are much better than them….
What were the Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park modeled with?
What were Michael Bays Transformers modeled with?
Terminator, Iron Man, Avatar, etc….what was all that modeled with?
Houdini? Probably not. Maybe they get assembled in Houdini, but that's it. But that's certainly because all these artists are idiots, they just don't know about the great modeling tool kit in Houdini and would simply turn pale in your glory shine of 3D wisdom. Most likely you were doing much better stuff when these guys were still toddlers.
I say there is a reason why you don't find a detailed model, modeled in Houdini.
There is a reason why educational platforms like Digital Tutors offer so little modeling tutorials for Houdini.
There is a reason why experienced artists in big studios don't use Houdini for modeling.
The reason is, because no serious modeling artist wants to struggle with Houdinis so called “modeling toolkit”, for f@%& sake! Accept that!
God, this kind of ignorance and arrogance makes me angry.
This thread is over for me.
