H20 - SideFX still doesn't get it imho - re artists... Nov. 13, 2023, 3:21 a.m.
I agree that computer graphics is hard - and by extension houdini - ultimately being good at anything requires both thinking and effort; a different paradigm to using AI.
Houdini will certainly benefit from further development, however Houdini's core power is allowing artists to manipulate numbers to create art; and that involves thinking and problem solving - which isn’t easy.

Interesting thread - I started using pop os a few years back and working houdini and nuke in pop os is fantastic - snappy / stable / amazing use of resources - no issues at all
Yes you need to learn some Linux tricks - but nothing compared to actually learning houdini
Pop os is super simple
And you can set up your own shell environments based on projects etc
Linux is awesome
