awesome!

[@zKMotion]

At 1:32:03 he mentioned using the viewport state to isolate the door, is it using the visibility sop or how is it done?

[@izvarzone]

If I edit shader, it will update in real time in viewport?

[@MANIAKRA]

24:05 I can understand this. Wow.

[@aeko]

1:09:12 - WHAT? Drawable terrain generation with AI?

[@brightgarinson3099]

The only reason why I don't use Houdini much is because of Mantra slow CPU rendering. Please consider GPU rendering for Mantra.

[@brightgarinson3099]

@Hagop D Compared to free GPU rendering with blender rather than spending $500? I'm not a studio, I'm one guy.

[@AriseWorks]

What's stopping your from exporting fbx or alembics to your rendering environment/DCC? If outputting the final image is the thing that is stopping you from using H, well, enjoy shooting yourself in the foot I guess?

[@brightgarinson3099]

@@AriseWorks Yeah, I didn't say I stopped using it, I said I don't use it much because of such a slow render on one machine. I think Mantra getting GPU rendering is pretty reasonable.

[@mattestela]

@@brightgarinson3099 One could argue that rendering, especially gpu rendering, is pretty well solved by others (cycles, redshift, octane, vrayrt, soon arnold and renderman xpu). Sidefx could spend time on that, or spend time on things that need solving like pdg and even more advanced simulation tools. I want gpu mantra as much as anyone, but not if its going to slow development on other things.

[@jiajackman4422]

you are fool hahhaha

It is so nice that you don’t use idiotic naming strategy) No Houdini 2022 in 2019 year) Sorry Autodesk...

[@nicolaastanghe475]
