any teasers for Houdini 16.5 coming up any time soon ?

You want us to tease the teasers? I believe that leads to an infinite recursion error

We do!

Hi my hope is about character rigging, render engine and a good help system.
I still believe that will be possible to make character animation in Houdini and a faster render engine…but until this happen I will use what is possible.
Before some one tel me I read Houdini's Help every day and I watched a lot of master class and Illume webinar.
I believe that Houdini is a procedural animation tool and not only a procedural simulation tool.
SideFx please help us, for character animation.
Exactly today Maya and Blender is what I can use.
Sorry to tell but is my second year with Houdini Indie.
…may be next year…may be next year

PLEASE DO NOT TURN THIS POST INTO A WISH LIST, WE NEED OR WE WANT.

I second that

Around this time of year, you're probably looking at sometime around SIGgraph for any announcements SideFX might make.

Sneak peek of the newest Houdini version in Houdini's newest Facebook post

there is ? can you please point it out. i have look at the pictures over and over again , is it a “cryptic” sneak peak ? is it a reflected in one the beer glass or is has it to do with “DANGER 26400 VOLTS” or is it fused in side the green “exit sign” top left of the group picture ?

i wish they continued making themed teasers like when houdini 13 was release, the teaser was made in a horror movie style theme, that was great.

For sure. That 13 release nailed it.

siggraph 2017 is on the 30.july so i hope that SESI release some teaser's.

How much are you sure about 16.5?
Maybe SESI wants to release 17.

There was some info for a H16.5 version but it also can happen that a H17 will come depending on the features.

16.5 => a lot new stuff and optimizations
17.0 => a huge amount of new stuff and massive backend optimizations.

Fianna Wong is hosting a workshop called “Sneak Peak - Topobuild 3.0” on Thursday, August 3rd at SIGGRAPH, if that counts.

About those icons… can we get a proper shader ball instead of a tigered box?
Should I RFE?

P.S.: Then again, sometimes it feels like going on a safari hunting down materials

Can agree more!

Did you try to use the auto rig tool shown in the 2016 masterclass?

I loved the entire video and some things catched my attention:
01 We saw a lot of animation into Houdini——> great
02 I read near the end some things about Mantra? Less noise—-> very good

Maybe the time for Rigging and Animation characters into Houdini will be start…
What do you think?
If SESI could you help us little bit with one or other tutorial…we can walk more easily :-)
Let's talk…
