“There really is. When it comes to software parity between operating systems, Houdini is pretty damn good…as well as being an equal-opportunity crasher.”

Having not used mac I don't know why or how often it crashes. But on windows(and by no means am I windows fan), but I've been using HOudini on windows since about 15.5 and the only time houdini crashes for me on windows is when I run out of memory. If it has crashed for other reasons I can't remember, that's how infrequent it does for reasons other than insufficient memory. After a while too one gets to know when it will and when it won't. I've just recently got a new machine with win10 pro (again not a win fan) and with only Houdini installed on a large SSD, I was impressed with how when I started pushing going over my RAM limit on scenes it would switch over to using the drive to help out, saving even on RAM crashes. I still think though lots of work needs to be done on viewport stability in terms of just being less glitchy - although I've never had any crashes from viewport issues.(that I can remember).

Hello BabaJ - Can you please share the configuration of your Win Machine? I am planning to buy one and would want to make sure it is compatible with Houdini for small films.
