Absolutely amazing info. Thanks so much, instant follow.

Thank you!🙏

@@lega_xyz I tried to make things easier with the shop_materialpath grouping and used a Groups From Name node, which is super easy to customize to work on name or any other attrib. 👍

[@philippwelsing9108]

Plus: I love working with the Material Linker. Respects the prim groups as well!

[@philippwelsing9108]

@@lega_xyz I tried to make the shop_materialpath prim grouping a little easier, and the Groups From Name node worked wonders... also easily customizable to any other attrib than name. 👍

@@philippwelsing9108 Nice! I will use that option, gotta give it a try.

Very great tutorial LEGA! But I have a question... I rig and animate cars in blender with RBC addon, which provide me a real and physic based rig... You think that is better or the mothod used in your tutorials... For situation like going very fast in a highway?

[@lega_xyz]

I think if your using blender as your main tool its best to keep everything in the same software. This is a new tool in houdini to rig vehicles so its not as developed as RBC yet. I would use which ever method is more efficient for your worflow/project. Whatever gets you to the best results faster.🙂

Hi - Thanks for the video. Can you please share your pc specs? cpu, gpu, ram, motherboard, psu

[@lega_xyz]

Hey Ramon, thanks for watching. The setup I have for my main machine is this. CPU: Intel i9-14900F with Liquid cooling GPU: RTX 4090 RAM: 128GB Motherboard: ASUS ProArt Z690 PSU: Corsair HX1200i

[@ramonlevyful]

@@lega_xyz Thanks for your answer! Can you say why you are using intel over amd for the CPU?

[@lega_xyz]

@@ramonlevyful This is just for my main machine. I have a few AMD machines and a few Intel ones. For AMD I got the Ryzen 9 7950x. There is no big reason why I chose one over the other. mainly came down to price an availability at the time. But if I were to start a new setup and I didn't have anything I would go with what ever the fastest CPU (possibly AMD) available along side with a good GPU that has enough vram and lots of RAM. Houdini handles lots of stuff with the CPU, After Effects is RAM hungry and a good GPU gets your renders done fast.

[@ramonlevyful]

@lega_xyz OK, thanks you very much for the answers!

[@ramonlevyful]

Ok, last question - You have mention using After Effects. Are you using Nuke as well and can share some overall user experience between the two programms? Why prefer one over the other?

[@monirul3d]

Please make a realistic Honey sim tutrials.
