Have you ever thought about combining Houdini's procedural power with state of the art AI Algorithms without having to care about boilerplate scripts or neverending downloads? Look no further as Paul Ambrosiussen and Moritz Schwind cover their strategies and practice of doing exactly this with a modular Machine Learning Toolkit they developed for Houdini, allowing you to natively use Houdini's Data to drive, customize and process various AI Models.

You can download the plug-in using the link on this page. You can also join the Discord server to work with Paul and Moritz to expand and enhance this toolset.

Learn how to work with MLOPS, the free and Open Source Machine Learning Plugin for Houdini developed by Paul Ambrosiussen and Entagma, Licensed and Distributed by Bismuth Consultancy BV.

MORITZ SCHWIND

Still thinks “Space: 1999” is the coolest thing that ever happened on german TV. Be it pixels, hardware, code or cameras – if it’s interesting, Moritz is gonna take it apart. And sometimes even reassemble it. In his spare time he likes to dabble with code and create generative artwork. He claims his early exposure to QBasic is no help at all when working in Houdini, Cinema 4D, Processing or Arduino. But it might have been what started his fascination for the boundaries of code and art. When not wreaking havoc to any intriguing devices around him, he works as a freelance Art Director / Technical Director.

    Thanks for the toolkit, it's a lot of fun. These tutorials got me up and running without any install issues.

    Hello.

    Is it possible to do a tutorial for MLops installation on MacOS

    I always wanted to make Art from my Videogame Screenshots, and MLOPS did that easy. I'm here for it and ill assist in any way I can to aid in the downfall of everything.

    Where/how can we report issues with MLOPs?

  • sfalan 1 year, 3 months ago  | 

    When I try to install the dependencies, it pops up an error window essentially telling me that I don't have git installed.
    So, like LukeP suggested, where should we report issues?

    • JoeyBryarsFX 8 months ago  | 

      I had the same issue. Here is a link to the git installation guide:
      https://github.com/git-guides/install-git
      Once you have git installed the MLOP dependencies installation should run smoothly. I tested it on my machine, and everything ran smoothly after I installed git on my PC.

    Hey guys, I have already a folder with tons of models and Loras, I share it between a1111 and comfyUI, I just need to change the yaml file to point it to the directory.
    But I'm not sure how to edit it to work with Houdini.

    For instance I have this path "A:\a1111\stable-diffusion-webui\models\Stable-diffusion\v1-5-pruned-emaonly.safetensors"

    but it's giving me an error,

    Error
    Invalid source /obj/geo1/sd_tokenizer1/tokenizer
    Error: Error generated by Python node.
    The specified model does not exist locally. Because the 'Local Cache' checkbox for this node is enabled, it also wont be downloaded automatically. Specify a valid local model or disable the 'Local Cache' parameter. a


    I want to be able to use the folders that I have already with models, loras and controlNet.
    Is this possible?

    {
    "MLOPS_MODELS": "A:/a1111/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion"
    },
    {
    "MLOPS_SD_MODEL": "A:/a1111/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion/v1-5-pruned-emaonly.safetensors"
    },
