I've been holding on for Canvas too. Also waiting for a wider range of 3D applications to use it with.

I think some of the bigger movie studios in London have been using Fabric for quite a while now.

Wow. I stay away from the forums for a while and I come back to all this huge game changing news. My only reservation with Fabric up until now has been it's dependance on Autodesk owned software. I guess this has ended in a big way. Fabric in Modo and C4D is one thing, but Fabric in Houdini? The min...

I've come across some tiny tuts for Houdini that might be of use for beginners. They are more like quick little tricks than full blown tutorials but there is some cool little mograph type things here to try out. http://www.tokeru.com/mayawiki/images/2/29/Attribute_transfer_hou.gif.pagespeed.ce.2-kSu...

TEAPOTS!!!

Great stuff as always Milan. Don't ever stop.

Yes Houdini is niche, but not as niche as Softimage has become.

There are always plenty of friendly people on the SideFX forum as far as I can tell.

I spend far too much time trawling through TV Tropes while waiting for renders.

My apologies - I just realised this was the Houdini section (I had a google alert on Fabric and I went straight to the thread). I thought this was in the main section. Anyway - to answer the questions: 1. The visual programming system is coming along extremely well and is currently in closed alpha ...

Holy sh1t Mathaeus!

Wow, so much here. Thankyou so much.

ok, but isn't that about "transition videos" like a particular SI task transposed to houdini, just like Jordi Bare has done. Good point. My apologies. I thought of including Peter Quint's stuff as a whole as he has short 10 minutes tutorials covering individual topics. This isn't the plac...

There is Peter Quint and his hundreds of short tutorials. I have learnt more from this guy than anybody else.

@owei - I just need to purchase a microphone.

I can recommend geforce experience also. I used it to capture the above tutorial. Very easy and high quality.

Well, here's the first one. Render passes in Houdini.

Warning. It's very rough!

Hello Rork, I think this is a splendid idea. I'm not sure when I can find some time but I would like to contribute. I know of a few topics that I would like to cover (passes and partitions anybody?). These will be VERY basic though, I'm still very much a Houdini beginner.

I also get the gut feeling that a lot of Houdini users like to build extravagant tools just to show how flexible Houdini can be This is a valid point and I do know what you mean. I have had the same sensation when trawling through Houdini forums. I have to work fast and dirty a lot of the time and ...

There is no shortage of tutorials and examples for learning the high end simulated side of Houdini. It's everything else that is lacking. It also doesn't help that a good chunk of the online resources are obsolete a lot of the time. I guess that is where we can help each other the most. All of the s...
