[@CaCa-co4ec]

Ahhh my FX shot of the giant pig getting blown up made it in! Awesome

It's incredible how VFX/CGI can somehow manage to CONTINUE to get better and better!

[@jamaljamalwaziat1002]

Is that means houdini 20 is so close 😮 amazing work guys

[@raimuhammaduzairfareed7628]

Yes bro

[@rafirabbani6241]

cant waiit

[@moisesdelcastillo6703]

It is not about just getting better it is about also decreasing the learning curve making it easier for new artist to be onboarded.

[@wallacesousuke1433]

Which is the opposite of what Houdini does 😆 its interface and node system are seizure-inducing

[@KaarloMedia]

@@wallacesousuke1433 Yep, Houdini needs a full UX overhaul if it wants grow like e.g. Blender does. There are so many solutions in Houdini that remind me of early 90s UX.

[@Merengil]

Just found out about Houdini Apprentice. This video is totally firing me up to learn!

[@bigsky7617]

I've been working with Unreal for a little over a year and have decided I'm more interested in VFX and cinematics than game development. Looks like I'll be switching gears and learning Houdini!

[@lyricsassam]

I would've LOVED to see the names of the respective projects

[@weeffects-vfxwolves]

Unlocking boundless creativity with its mesmerizing magic. 🎩✨ Hoh-Don't-deny!

[@RaffoVFX]

Solid stuff!🔥

[@nosirve9458]

The fact that students like me can use it for free makes me very very happy. Houdini > Maya

[@cg-school]

Amazing!! Love it! But it should be in 1440 p

[@moisesdelcastillo6703]

I love this software!

[@axelalvarez717]

Top level. Houdini + Maya ...

Side FX; powering Artists with tools to bring imagination to life.

[@heytraile]

The only thing I want to see from Side FX right now is the H20 sneak peek!

[@raimuhammaduzairfareed7628]

Same here Sneak peak will be here soon

[@hd-be7di]

What is H20? New fluid system ?

[@heytraile]

@@hd-be7di lol

[@hd-be7di]

@@heytraile oh. OH. Wow. My brain was on vacation when I wrote that lol

[@heytraile]

@@hd-be7di lol maybe they could call the fluid sim in vellum H20; would be cool

[@yonlaycabrera4431]

Bum, the beast smashes the competition, as usual.

[@redilamedia]

Every year, I find myself wondering if the current year's reel will surpass the one from the previous year. I can modestly affirm that, indeed, it has! NOW, BRING ON H20! :D

[@ruslandad365]

Houdini is houdini 😊😊😊

[@rayanmagneto]

MASSSSS🔥🔥

[@Morso.serhildan]

Great great...

[@isaacait.6679]

Where are our haters? Where are they

[@wallacesousuke1433]

Having tons of fun using their own software :D

[@user-cz9bm3jz4s]

Awesome 🔥🔥 I started learning houdini 3 months ago Im still struggling with vex

[@dannys_85]

3 months is just for navigation in houdini😂, i think you need 3 years😢, vex is easy but you need linear algebra interpolation etc.

[@glmstudiogh]

@@dannys_85 true talk. But I’d also advice @user-cz9bm3jz4s learns faster, the hotkeys

[@emimeemio]

3months.. Easy.. What? 😅 I don't know where to start learning vex 😏

[@gowmmt7381]

super super super

[@spyral00]

Houdini is great but is nothing without a good artist using it.

[@olexp9017]

It is still better than "good artist using C++" 😂

[@spyral00]

@@olexp9017 I do C++ and find it easier than Houdini, lol

[@toynodes]

Does this precede the announcement of version 20?

[@rendermanpro]

"Hello youtube" - all particles, debris, small details - were washed out by youtube's compression

🤯

[@slesher84]

hey hey hey what about the good old mechanical limbs, rubber masks, bunny hat and aces up your sleeve...?

[@TRUEbASNER]

At this point do they even need to make reels, they could just post a 3 second clip with one line "It's in everything great" 😅🔥🔥 Edit: Great music choice too

[@zahuruddinsheikh2814]

Were these CGI completely done on houdini, or the typical workflow of zbrush,maya and houdini is in play here?

[@mvinch101]

The music sounds like its call of duty

[@iDidntAskToBeBorn765]

would you guys make houdini easy for noobs like me

[@candi1001]

First

[@xd1845]

ah KZbin compression killed this video

Artificial intelligence

[@GENIUSGT]

You guys should upload in 4K at this point. (Also probably not the best shot to promote).

[@fgrnb353]

so much hard work. im glad im retired. 😊😊

[@Zhang_Nicolas]

I installed and opened houdini, now what.

[@hd-be7di]

Press TAB while the mouse is hovering in the Network Editor (bottom right) and type "geo", and press enter twice. It will put down a Geometry node in the network editor. Now you have a container to make and put your stuff in. With the "Geo1" node selected, press enter again to get inside the node... this is where you build stuff. SideFX has a lot of beginner tutorials

[@wallacesousuke1433]

Uninstall it, install Blender and UE5 instead :D
