I agree that computer graphics is hard - and by extension houdini - ultimately being good at anything requires both thinking and effort; a different paradigm to using AI.

Houdini will certainly benefit from further development, however Houdini's core power is allowing artists to manipulate numbers to create art; and that involves thinking and problem solving - which isn’t easy.

Really amazing and easy to use....

Apex rigging looks.... daunting.... BUT amazing.

Interesting thread - I started using pop os a few years back and working houdini and nuke in pop os is fantastic - snappy / stable / amazing use of resources - no issues at all

Yes you need to learn some Linux tricks - but nothing compared to actually learning houdini


Pop os is super simple

And you can set up your own shell environments based on projects etc

Linux is awesome
