🙌 Jacob Slovak did a fantastic photoreal still-life in #Houdini #Karma 2 weeks into learning Houdini for my one of my Houdini courses.

Who else is heading to Austin this week for #Houdini #HIVE? Would love to arrange a casual meet up.

[Nelson Lim @iamnelsonlim]

Played with a new lesson for students in #Houdini #particles and procedural wet maps in class.

What do you want to learn? Love to help.

Covid PSA

[Elise V Mike, MD, PhD @EliseVMike]

My cousin had to return to in-person work, got COVID from her boss, and passed away today. She leaves behind 13-year old twin girls, a husband, a mother who will now have to bury her last surviving child, and family who will forever miss her smile. The pandemic is not over.

There's a bug in Karma XPU that prevents it from rendering diffuse/albedo textures inside of materialx subnets if the geo does not have explicit uvs setup. #bug #karmarender

[Nelson Lim @iamnelsonlim]

Karma XPU is great most of the time. But just in case I needed reminding that #karmaxpu is still beta ware... 😅 #houdini #karmarender #rendering #sidefx #vfx

Happy 57th Birthday, Singapore!

My family celebrates Singapore’s Independence Day every year.

The whole week is filled with songs, visuals, food and plenty of things that will remind us of our beautiful island city.

Singapore is the US’ largest trade partner in South East Asia and 18th largest trade partner overall.

We have an FTA since 2004 and our bilateral goods and services trade surpassed $93B in 2020.
