The last challenge of week 2 is “Squash & Stretch” - time to honour one of the 12 Principles of Animation as set out by the Nine Old Men themselves. Time to preserve some volume!
Please note that the daily winners for Day 10 and an updated leaderboard will be a bit late tomorrow. I will be on the road all day and won't get a chance to fix up the website until the late evening. I am sure everyone checks in regularly to see who won so please be aware of the delay this weekend. Of course you are busy with the next challenge anyway so this will give you a chance to stay focused…

Time for challenge # 9 - “growth” - which should be a great topic for going nuts with Houdini's procedural nature. The creativity shown so far has been outstanding and while we only award three entries each day, there are many more under consideration. There are lots of challenges ahead and lots of room to move up the leaderboard!
Best of Luck!

On to day 8. Best of luck in the latest challenge “Falling.” This will take us past the 1/4 mark. Great to see so many artists still tackling all of the topics. For new people, things are not so far that you can't either win on points if you win a few challenges or simply win for best artwork with one amazing entry.
Of course the main goal of all of this is for everyone to explore Houdini in ways you haven't before and the knowledge you gain is the biggest prize of all…. Right?
A quick note: please don't post entries to the SideFX Gallery. Please post all entries to this forum to be eligible to win the daily prizes.

If I want to catch-up, Can I submit multiple days submissions for the days that gone past. I know I won't be included for the daily prize for those. Please let me know.

I just saw this today. would I have to do all the challenges for the entire month? Like start from 1 and catch up to today?
or is it too late?
Prizes are either for best entry overall or most points based on daily winners. To win the daily prize you must enter on the correct day - but you can go back and fill in the gaps for a point a day and for the Iron man prize.

Welcome to day 4 and it looks like things are going to get a little hotter! It will be interesting to see given the fourth of July if we see any “fire”-works…
Thanks to everyone who has entered so far. Good to see lots of people going for the Iron Man prize. If you missed any of the days remember that you can go back and submit anytime before the end of July.
Still getting some exr and tiff files which don't show up well in the forum - jpg or png would be preferred. Thanks.
The leaderboard and the daily winners are now available here [www.sidefx.com]. Our goal is to keep this up to date over the weekend but we may fall a bit behind.

There is a feature comparison in the Help Desk section of Houdini:
https://www.sidefx.com/faq/question/karma-vs-mantra/ [www.sidefx.com]
The main difference is that Karma is currently in beta and works with USD via Solaris/LOPS. Normal scenes must be imported into Solaris in order to render with Karma.
Mantra is production-ready but doesn't work with USD and development time is focused on Karma going forward.

Welcome to day 3. The winners for day 1 are now posted on the main HOULY page.
Please be sure to note the changes to the People's choice award. We will be using the forum to source all winners for this category rather than social media. While you do not need to post to social media anymore, it is a nice way to share your work and draw attention to the contest so by all means keep posting.
Scene files are not needed until you win then you need to submit them for us to check the Houdini usage. If you would like to post them early that is OK especially as a way to share with the community and learn from each other's work.
Good Luck!
Robert

How i can find out how many points i have?
There will probably be a delay of a day or two for daily winners to be announced. Our goal is to have some sort of leaderboard as well but we'll have to see how best to set that up. Remember everyone gets at least one point for entering each day.
