The whole point of having a vector-based UI is that it’s resolution-independent, and you can forget about DPI and monitor resolution restrictions because it works seamlessly everywhere with antialiasing enabled.

I thought this goes without saying nowadays.

As for what tech — I believe everyone just uses HTML/CSS/JS nowadays for UI. Why use anything else? HTML has it all, but idk, maybe there are good reasons to go with something else in Houdini's case.

Houdini is the best 3D app with the worst UI

That's not true, it's not the worst. IMO, the worst 3D app UI is Zbrush, PC version. Next worst would probably be 3ds Max.

you should pay us for consultation you're going to waste

Why are you giving it away for free then? Wait until I pay you

But anyway, from what I’ve gathered so far, for a Houdini user, nodes are the main focus—everything else is secondary. In other words: you can tolerate a lot. By the way, I enjoyed the back-and-forth between you and hMonkey, and I’m definitely keeping an eye on it. I'll see if I can contribute anything to that later.

Fake will know Real.

What a tease!

can you share what you're using for your mockups? Specific colors, fonts, icons, etc.

The fonts are called Inter and JetBrains Mono. The colors you can pick with a color picker. The icons I can send you in DMs, just tell me which do you want. Though, are you sure you want to do anything before I come out with the V2 mockup?

It's in everyone's best interest, especially SideFX's, to keep this thread open. Whether the feedback is positive or negative, it's still informative in many ways. Just sayin'

That's exactly what I was thinking. We're just talking and, IMO, it's pretty interesting and potentially useful to someone at SideFX.

instead of fixed "timeline control bar" layout i would preffer customizable toolbar, where you can drag and drop tools and dropdown list as you preffer.

Exactly, everything should be as customizable and intuitive as possible, easy, accessible, drag n droppable. By the way, nice to see another Affinity user.

just wanting positive feedback attention.

Isn't this why you do... literally anything in life? Think about it for a second.

I don't see the benefit.

Doesn't matter if you don't, I do see huge benefits.

You may be fueling something else.

Like what? Riots?
