These statements are always funny because in a few months we will start seeing VFX showreels of behind the scenes footage of these movies having full digi doubles, wire removals, set extensions, sky replacements, compositing work, etc, etc
@TvanHelsdingen@ibackstrom@Nextclouders Tim, it would be nice if you could share how to make a setup similar to yours in an article or a video. And all the issues one might have to face when making such setup.
Love the recipes in Houdini 20.5. It proved to be very useful. You don't need to rely on HDAs for some additional functionality anymore or legacy presets system. It's way easier now to extend existing nodes with recipes. Such a time saver!

Sometimes you need the very granular control in post but if you instance your geo in Houdini there is no way to pick individual pieces with cryptomatte. Unless you make a custom setup. Here is a short tip how to do it in Karma.

Learned the smart way to optimize the simulation of cloth and then cast the high res mesh to low res sim with Point Deform node. Especially useful when you want your mesh to be quads but simulated triangulated mesh.
