About Me

Houdini Docker - Containerize & automate Houdini installs 2023年4月13日1:56

Hi Aaron,

Really interested in this work, and timely as I'm currently trying to automate building a hqueue farm. In the past I've done it with cobbled together scripts and files shared via NFS mounts, but now that hqueue has python3 support it's time to modernise.

At the moment I get this error if I try and run houdini with your container. Hython and hscript work fine. I'm running on Ubuntu 22.04. (For my purposes I'll mostly be running headless tasks.)

root@539d5b0c2631:/opt/hfs19.5# houdini
/opt/hfs19.5/bin/houdini-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libsmime3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Cheers,
Drew

Houdini 20 Rumors 2022年11月30日23:45

Sure. But could Houdini learn from other software? Yes. Could Houdini be more user friendly? Hell yes.


The other question to ask here is could Blender's UI be extended to provide the vastly more complex and deep functionality of Houdini and still be "user friendly"? I'm going to suggest the answer is no.

These arguments always remind me of this great talk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxdOUGdseq4 [www.youtube.com]

Houdini for a Met Office 2021年12月15日2:38

Well Houdini plus someone who can drive it could definitely be an asset See here for a few examples of large weather simulations visualized.
