The Complete Houdini: Introduction to Rigid Body Dynamics is now live on Patreon!

This one is the most epic of all epics: 2500 words and dozens of images and clips designed to give you a comprehensive introductory knowledge of RBD simulations in Houdini.

Come on over!

I'm gonna make a couple million bucks then sign up to be an Uber driver and drive people around in my Aston Martin.

@what_i_found @janhebein Ok ok, Classic Mode for Jan and Jason.

WHOA I just realized that the Houdini 22 sneak peek shows an updated UI! I've been dreaming of this day for years!!!

[Brian Hanke @brianhanke]

@JackVfx1 @janhebein Good question. If it's just a "skin" that's kind of lame, hopefully it's a comprehensive rework.

[Brian Hanke @brianhanke]

@janhebein I want to use the Houdini you have. 😆

[Brian Hanke @brianhanke]

@janhebein Well... I got excited at first since it was such an unexpected change, but the more I look it all still seems like a UX disaster. At least it's not blocky 1995 vintage any more...

Sure, space exploration is exciting and glamorous now, but in 500 years we're going to have space HOAs, Space Parking Tickets, Space Income Tax...

I got the Doritos with no artificial colors but to balance things out I got a gallon of Hawaiian Punch which is basically 97% artificial colors.

[Brian Hanke @brianhanke]

Is it just me or are the Bane accent and the There Will Be Blood accent basically the same? I think actors just like doing that voice. 😆

[Brian Hanke @brianhanke]

Real talk, this is so horrendous looking.

Wow @gumroad silently changed their payout threshold and are now holding creators' money hostage. I've seen this policy only from the most shady, cash-strapped businesses. I view it as only slightly less bad than outright theft. Sad to see Gumroad self-immolate like this.

How come AI supposedly can't make mistakes and does in one day what one person would take 10,000 years to accomplish and nothing is... better? Shouldn't Photoshop like load in one second or my taxes prepare themselves or there not be any wars or something? Well, it's a mystery!

[Casey Muratori @cmuratori]

Even so, I remain confident that AI will replace somewhere between 0% and 100% of all jobs within the next five to fifty years.

[Brian Hanke @brianhanke]

Finishing up diagrams. We spare no expense here!

[Brian Hanke @brianhanke]

Working on a cool new Patreon article, The Science of Shininess!

This is a practical deep dive into what exactly reflections are, the difference between dielectrics and conductors, what Fresnel equations are used for, and much more.

Coming soon!

@janhebein I could never suffer too much in Austria, I'd be eating schnitzel every day. 😆

"How DARE someone work hard to make something, and not then give it to ME for FREE!"

[Brian Hanke @brianhanke]

I've seen enough.

I'm pleased to conclusively report that no one has anything to fear from AI.
