Speaking as someone who operates a co-development studio and is developing their own game:

I agree with Kojima and I think this is the way the industry is headed. Small core teams, with a larger support network of codev, contractors and outsource.

Kojima has called 33 team members and a dog “ideal”.
I have a studio of 20 and a dog. I get it. I agree. I’ve worked at studios in the hundreds and there is a tipping point where it can slow things down. I don’t miss that scale, and I love that my codev studio gets to support teams of multiple sizes. Flexibility is key.

More and more studios treat codev and outsource as trusted members of their teams, but they’re also able to provide clearer goals because they aren’t managing large internal teams and all the challenges that come with them.

Smaller studios doesn’t mean less jobs even, it’s just a migration to support studios. Outsource is thriving and that’s where specialists live now.

I’m pretty excited for a future where we see more studios adopting this format.

It’s important to remember large games still require hundreds of people, but how you choose to organise and manage them is often the largest challenge.

Not to say some large teams aren’t necessary. Those are usually the ones where production is down to a fine art.

@zheminwork Wow wow, that's nice!
I'm trying to wrap my head around the changing topology geometry and vellum inflate. Does all the mesh exist already and you clip it post sim, or does it somehow spawn within the vellum solver?

[dgrbox @dgrbox]

@edbrown3d Can I ask what difference this makes compared to rendering each ROP from start to finish?

@mumblinglewis Dang! the OG of CGI peony

[dgrbox @dgrbox]

The initial system I developed earlier this year quickly proved insufficient for many types. The new setup aims to realistically increase the number of petals (without blowing up Houdini), while also reducing the "time-reversal" feel when the flower blooms.

(1/2) This is another entry for my CGI flower series, now with a completely revamped setup. Throughout the year, I had the opportunity to work with numerous different flowers and plants, each presenting unique traits and challenges. #houdini #sidefx #flower #peony #growing #rnd

Is it just me, or is everyone kinda feeling tired? The strain of pushing through COVID, the massive layoffs in 2022-2023, numerous project cancellations in 2023, etc seem to be wearing people down. It has been a rough few years…

[dgrbox @dgrbox]

@stephanhelbing_ @daria_antypenko True! That’s why having 2 machine is a must for me nowadays. Not just for cache but rendering as well.
And deadline helps streamline the process a lot. I just need submit the task and set it for worker node.

Fun r&d I got to be part of recently! #houdini

motion design at its finest 🤌

[Sekani @Sekani__Solomon]

I threw the kitchen sink at this shot. Object morphs, rigid body and cloth dynamics, fire sims, caustics and lots of smooth keyframes. This is probably one of my fav shots I ever animated. Cant wait to dive deeper into this when we do a breakdown

[dgrbox @dgrbox]

@aturtur So nice!
I remember linked a bunch of falloff to a camera for this exact FX. How do you resolve the issue when the plain effector remove the point, it change the matrix/cloner ID for individual point?

[Houdini.School @HoudiniSchool]

@HoudiniSchool Thank you for sharing 🥂💙
Here is a closeup on the flower if any interested 🌸

Petunia - Closeup Shot

Hey! Here is a close-up version of my previous Petunia setup. This time, I focus on highlighting one individual flower instead of the whole plant.
