where is the magic of Weta infused in Houdini???

Atleast tell us what was it bringing with it?

Any significant performance upgrades or new solvers that inhouse build(of course they are but tell us some details)

thank you very much for your amazing work, houdini devs

I want to know was this project killed or not

Are they ever going to bring it or not?

I think the discussion is mixing UI and UX together.

The original post is mostly about UX/performance
responsiveness, smooth window dragging, viewport interaction during heavy operations, etc.

The later replies are more about UI/readability
fonts, contrast, spacing, visibility, information hierarchy.

For me personally the UI is mostly fine, but the UX is really lacking in some areas. For example, the SideFX Labs reset viewport tool should not be as essential as it currently is for me. I run into many situations during the day where the viewport stops displaying things correctly and I have to reset it.

That kind of issue should not happen this often in a package like Houdini.

Finally, someone understood my point. All I asked was for the performance of UI and its ability to have its own reserved memory, so UI doesn't lag when the system is performing calculations, so my Houdini doesn't crash, and calculations are performed without any interruption, but software still being accessible without UI freezing with White Fade showing a warning that Houdini is not responding and asking if i want to terminate the operation.

I asked for UI to be adaptive with a smooth drag-and-drop window feature like Blender. Anyone who has used both software knows my pain.

I seek the attention of Lead Houdini Devs on this matter. My concern is valid and only improves upon user accessibility and satisfaction through sheer background processing efficiency.
