@@SIgor420 nah, absolutely nothing yet, I just said it that its my dream xd
at the moment I don't have strong PC and plus my gpu is kind of dead, it freezes screen many times.

14:18 "you can use the pop fluid dop as a layer on top of your flip fluid" sop at your vfx shop and get caught by a cop because you didn't stop at a red light

It would be nice to share assets from such videos

[@lbpdluis]

but can you make a donut with it ?

[@sharath2273]

I see no reason why you can't

[@486x]

is this free like Blender?

[@psychedlicavfx6646]

you can get a non-commercial version that is fully functional and free. with that said, blender can't hold a candle to Houdini

[@486x]

@@psychedlicavfx6646 maybe but Blender has great tutorials from YTubers.

[@psychedlicavfx6646]

@@486x as does Houdini, though i dont think gauging either software's capability by how many free tutorials are out there on youtube is a fair measure. Vimeo has tons of learning resources on Houdini.

@@486x heck! i just remembered that i posted one myself on my channel, 2 hours ago. basic level stuff to get newbies up to speed :)
