Houdini 20.5 Keynote

[@jebinrohit7478]

This is how a subscription service should be, amazing updates!

[@fabricio_chamon]

Amazing release guys, good job! The great thing about Copernicus is that now it is possible to create 100% procedural assets in Houdini, including textures. That was the final piece we needed for such level of proceduralism.

[@xanzuls]

Congratulations to the Houdini devs for achieving to new heights again.

[@PeterJansen]

As a comper who dabbles in Houdini... I'm in heaven. So many opportunities to have a proper blend of the two worlds.

[@JacKsCave]

Hhahaha like me 9 years as nuke comp , and now with houdini . Side fx is fucking love

[@chr1st0pher]

buckle upppp !

[@audiodrocher]

Houdini is a sofware engineering as an artform. Just beautiful. Thank you SideFX 😊

[@YanivGorali]

You killed substance! ❤

There's instaMAT for that. Much more powerful and has many more things to offer.

Wow...... finally finished watching this whole video. So much to take in, so many new stuff.....wow

[@dweaveraudio]

HOLY MOLY. These dynamics are just gorgeous.

[@OlafFinkbeiner]

I can't believe it... Sooo cool so many new things to learn and use

[@braddlackeyy]

Good lord this is all so incredible.

[@Geometrynode]

This is literally the coolest thing and most exciting thing. I am speechless

[@gcharb2d]

Man, that was actually exhausting, so thrilled, can't wait to get my hands on H20.5!!!

[@carlosrivadulla8903]

What a great speaker Cristin Barghiel is! I love listening to him.

[@gcharb2d]

My third time watching the video, dang, H20.5 has seen more development in 8 months than Blender in the last 5 years, you guys are incredible, real legends!

[@rano12321]

This is so amazing man. Great jobs, Houdini devs.

[@demianpelos]

every update of houdini comes WITH so so much!! stuff is incredible

[@rahulgirish4650]

Have it open now, can we just take a moment to appreciate how incredible useful the Node Info panel has become.

[@alainhanni4874]

Honestly, what an amazing software this is!!! SideFX puts the bar soooo high every time! Thank you guys! Can't wait to use it!!!

[@SimpleandProcedural]

This is amazing! I don't think I've ever been this excited about a release!

[@cgforge]

Congrats SideFX! This 0.5 is epic in scale, and addressed a lot of pain points that take things up to the next level 😎👍

[@kwesikwaa]

the character animation tools are insane. realtime wrinkles too? APEX is finally here to kill. i love that it is physics based as well. MPM + vellum + rbd seem like a very psychopathic combination, moving forward. and COPS upgrade + OFX in COPS? man we are blessed

[@PalmwineStudio]

fingers crossed for mid year christmas 🎉

[@studionotwar]

So so hyped for almost everything in this release. it's really impressive.

[@MrSunamo]

So many great features are coming, I'm glad to have made the decision to start learning Houdini about half a year ago. Hopefully Copernicus will also work with other render engines like Redshift and Octane, etc.

[@PalmwineStudio]

the animation context from H20 and these new updates, make Houdini the reasonable place to do all character animation. 🎉 very intuitive. job well done. 🙇🏾‍♂️

[@LeftCG]

Insane stuff. Absolute Magic

[@TimvanHelsdingen]

[@DerekElliott]

insane stuff nice work

[@lucasgarcezxyz]

Houdini tutorials soon? 👀

[@lega_xyz]

Great presentation! The work that was accomplished since version 20 release is incredible! Thank you SideFX!

[@emimeemio]

This is what I wanted from summer vacation!

[@devsuvara]

Mind blowing! This is high end SFX at your fingertips!

[@OscarChabrand]

Really interested to see the viewport performance of those tools. Especially the viewport texture painting and sculpting tools. So many possibilities and so many questions!

[@Mrsa66789]

Thank you so much for making me excited about CGI again!

[@lselectric7]

I remember in the early 2000s doing an entire vfx shot from start to finish in Houdini using cops. The studio I was at used cops as the main comp package. Always wondered why SideFX didn’t continue to dev cops earlier and let the foundry take over. So much easier to work in one software. Glad they’re back on track.

[@morphtek]

1:19:40 omg i needed this so much god damn it , sick and tired of tying all my stuff to a null node

[@MortenKvale]

Wow.. Really great stuff, cant wait to learn all this!!! You guys are amzing!

[@SaladFX]

so you're telling me that I don't need to fix topology of a model to avoid all sorts of fracture problems? That is amazing.

[@briellescott9656]

How did I not get a notification for this? Was totally going to put it on while at work.

[@tigerija]

Get notification on phone. That seems to work.

[@CarlosDordelly]

Awesome!

[@Alexsp76]

An absolute gobsmack.. well done team!

[@kir11]

Great big-big work done! As always!

[@SvetlinNikolovPhx]

The MPM examples look really pleasant

[@scarabrae]

Cheers guys! Wonderful stuff!

[@souptemba3092]

incredible job on the mpm solver i've been really missing it

[@DavidLandFX]

Just woooow, this is amazing, can't wait to start to play with this stuff!!! Very nice presentation.

[@illuminations-vfx]

Absolutely insane update! Proper destructive modeling tools would be the only thing remaining for me to remove Maya completely from my workflow.

[@paitanmedia]

Really great news. Plan to spend the next few months playing with the animation tools and ML🥰

[@travislrogers]

Unbelievable update! SideFX for president!!

[@Kumodot]

Reinventing the +0.5 Industry Standards and expectations. I Feel sorry for the other devs. 🤣

@@gcharb2d blender is free and open source. And it is not financed like a Houdini. Incorrect comparison. But if change Blender to Maya or Max it is will be a true and correct comparison.

Copernicus comes just at the right time to kick Adobe, with its ToS, to the lunchbox!

Adobe isn't sleeping either. I don't know if they have keynotes,

i3?

@@olexp9017 I havent used i3 in a while. I`m a leftwm guy,

[@antoniopepe]

if it isnt prefactured, how do you bind the simmed mpm grain to the original geo, and then reap apart ? 🙌🙌😍😍

[@szymonsniegocki528]

It does like you are "fracturing" but per material, not per piece

[@antoniopepe]

@szymonsniegocki528 I need to try it because I try to compare it with the current workflow and I don't understand how it fits and changes between maybe larger clusters up to grain particles. houdini magic

[@nicolaastanghe475]

Btw since everyone here is probably listening. I was wondering if you could somehow automatically adjust your Texel density ov UV`s to where details get smaller when you are sculpting behind the scenes to reduce memory footprint when sculpting. And then every so much time store some of the height field as deformed geometry on the mesh to save memory. But what do I know, you’re probably already doing awesome things.

[@louispare4147]

Impressive!

[@meroshango9603]

For the rigging, I’m happy to see It Is Looking more like Maya, i think you should also change the look of those lines bones

[@duncanbuckley7020]

breaks my mind thinking of all the new things to try out... I need a second lifetime to be able to learn all this haha

[@pragmaticvfx]

SESI added a lot of firepower to the latest version of Houdini, and that's not even the full version! 🤗

Love me some APEX I am slowly shifting to animating everything with APEX and these updates will be appreciated.

Okay, what the hell was that audio with the chicken vs lucha animation 😂

[@MrJemabaris]

questions... (maybe they had to filter some copy righted song out?)

[@OdStudios-TheRealOdStudios]

@@MrJemabaris Hi everyone, Od Studios here... This was apparently a post processing issue when the clip was uploaded to KZbin. It was awesome live. Maybe in the near future, we'll have the clip up on it's own for all to enjoy. But for now, enjoy the visuals! We hope to show you more of the of the Luchador and Chicken in the near future!
