Houdini | Technical Repository. Houdini Particle Morphing Effects I just created a new tutorial for CMIVFX about doing particle morphing effects in Houdini. I think it is a great collection of useful information and shows how to get some nice, natural motion with your particles. If you want to improve your particle simulations and overall understanding of Houdini, I highly recommend watching this tutorial. Houdini Spiral Galaxy Tutorial Just a quick post to promote my new tutorial for cmivfx. It shows how to create a 3D spiral galaxy from scratch. The images used to promote the video are the actual images made from the tutorial. I hope people find this tutorial easy to understand, well thought out, and presented clearly. I am thrilled to announce my first tutorial produced for CMIVFX! Houdini is not just for visual effects.

Mill Learning Of course, at The Mill we are biased, but we think that the visual effects industry is one of the most dynamic you can work in. It's fun, creative, hard work, rewarding and full of very clever and talented people. You get to work across an incredible range of diverse projects and create moving image for commercials, television programmes, movies and online virals - in fact for any screen you can think of. The only limitation is your imagination. Right now the VFX industry needs new and young talent, so if you are creative and tech-savvy, it could be the career for you.

The skill set you need to work in visual effects combines various disciplines: you'll need to have a problem-solving mind; enjoy technologies - computer and engineering; have a strong affinity with maths and science, and finally, an artistic and creative aptitude.

From Odwiki Q: I am getting bad drawing or slow user interface problems. What should I do? If you've just installed Houdini and you have a low-end consumer video card - which really is almost anything less than a Quadro - you might find that Houdini might be slow or have display issues due to the oftentimes incomplete support of the full OpenGL spec.

So, in order, the approach is to: Install the latest drivers for your video card. If you shaded mode is just slow, perhaps go to the viewport DisplayOptions and turn off Projected Textures and Transparency If your wireframe mode is slow, in your Preferences or Display Options, turn off Smooth Lines for geometry If you're having show-stopping problems, try setting the OpenGL support to software rendering by setting the EnvironmentVariable called HOUDINI_OGL_SOFTWARE to 1 and restart Houdini. Q: Houdini/Mantra seems to be running extremely slow compared to how I've seen it run on other machines, or I get UT_NetPacket::read errors upon rendering.
