I would please like to see a Houdini presentation or a series like this:
Ryan Summers 50 in 50 - Production tips from the trenches Part 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tzI-jb7mk8 [youtube.com]
Kind of a work smarter series.
I recently fell over this tip:
Use $OS as group name in the group sop and its the same as the node object name - that's kind of a huge time saver, and I only recently found out about it. So I'm wondering that there a probably hundreds of these kinds of tips which could help people working smarter.
Kind regards, Jan
Suggestion for tutorial(series) topic - working faster and more efficiently

This book is a bit old now but probably lots of useful tricks that still apply today.

Hi thanks it's a great book, are there any parts I should avoid in order not to lean obsolete parts/workflow? :-)
By the way is it possible to lock a pane to “obj type”, but still let it follow selection? If i pin it down in order to no have it follow shop or rop it i have to unlock it to follow gl viewport selections in order to automatically jump into sop nodes. I use different panes for obj/sop, shop and rop (out) in order to work quickly and not having to shift between context in a single window.
