I can't get the Greyscalegorilla shelf to show up in Houdini. I've followed the instructions and I have tried searching for answers. Is it because I am using Indie that it wont work?

Indie should work? Please talk to GSG - they set all of this up and would be the best source for a solution.

Hi! Yes GSG Studio works with Houdini Indie, the current workflow doesn't use a shelftool, you should check their website and install the Houdini connector:

Okay sweet, I did that, and it does connect and say "sent". How do I access, say, a material that I sent over. I might just be bad at the internet, but I can't find anything that explains it to me that isn't using the shelf tool.

are images allowed to be used as sky in background?

are images allowed to be used as sky in background?

I'm wondering the same thing. I have done this for the past couple of submissions but realized only now that it could be not accepted. Happy to change any of my existing submissions with the raw render instead of the comped image, but clarification on that would be appreciated.

Not really - you can use Karma Physical Sky and Cloud tools in Houdini - not a big infringement - avoid this going forward.

I figure i broke the rules by using pictures of Dave Foley as foliage, as well?

The time change here was last weekend - I made a couple announcements about it and for the first two days we accepted entries until 1AM.

Ohh thx a lot I missed that. Still cool Mardini is about learning. Just first time for me.
