Houini bezier curves, are not bezier?? July 26, 2023, 10:03 a.m.

Sorry for the Vague post above. I should give more details about my complaints, and yes this was posted before I had the chance to check the updates on the CurveSOP (H19) and yes, now everything is addressed!
They turned hell into heaven with that single update! Thanks for the heads up on that, and apologies for it. (At the time of my post, our studio pipeline wasn't using H19 yet and I was starting to learn Houdini using H18.)

I really hope SideFx gives Houdini curve manipulation some love. The resampler in Houdini is amazing! Fast and reliable, but curve editing is a nightmare (to be very mild).
Your post is very vague and is very unclear about what improvements exactly you'd like to see

This thread started before Houdini had updated Curve SOP where bezier handles were missing etc..
Many complaints on here were addressed
Are you reacting to the updates in 19? Do you still find it a nightmare?

If so feel free to provide more constructive feedback or submit RFE for features you want to see

It's true that MAX has a lot of great curve manipulation tools beyond just bezier editing, but it always helps to be specific

I Am a senior 3D Artist, that worked with 3DsMax for 20+ Years. Then 3 more years with Maya, 1 Year with C4D and now I am on Houdini. I am in love with it, but this topic called my attention because I am "new to this club" and I was afraid to talk about the downsides of the software. For me every software has flaws, and I am starting to learn Houdini is no exception. I really hope SideFx gives Houdini curve manipulation some love. The resampler in Houdini is amazing! Fast and reliable, but curve editing is a nightmare (to be very mild). I am not mocking up the software. It is still amazing, and our honest feedback is the best thing we can do to ask for improvements. I will keep an eye on updates and user forums to follow about this subject. I use curves all the time on other software. And today, I am still doing my curves on Max to export to Houdini. I would prefer to do everything in Houdini.
