I was trying to coordinate with SideFX in doing something like a 200 or 300 level bootcamp class (5 days or so) like they have for the Introductory Bootcamp.
I would still be interested in this if other people are and if SideFX would be willing.

number one… I'm not big on people whining about things being hard.
If it is too hard… move on.

- with great freedom (or power) comes great responsibility

Houdini gives you the tools to make a helix. You could even create a helix tool of your own, pretty easily. You could post that to the exchange to prevent further concerns about houdini being too hard.

- If everyone could make the effect at the press of a button, it would cease to be a “special” effect.

I hope houdini doesn''t bend to the will of button click…
I'm still very much new to houdini- Still soooo much to learn.
But it is a challenge that I seek with the reward of being able to really control and harness what I am after.

Thanks SESI.

to see whether it was a mac thing or not.. I ventured down a dark road last night and made my MBP a dual boot system and installed Ubuntu.
A few very quick trials and it appears to be working much better in the linux environment. I'll try and do a bit more testing today.
I would love to go back to a single environment.
