And it also has Houdini, which has no alternative

I disagree with your analogy of COPs being in the center. Solaris is in the center, as shown in the promo image.

That's totally fine to disagree, and I'd encourage it for discussion. I do feel like the COPs workflow will eventually balloon into more AI + ML image post processing, denoising, upscaling etc that would be very wise for Houdini to lean into. But I could be totally wrong. I think Houdini has a lot of great features such as USD and Solaris gaining traction.

Agreed, there’s a new ML node, it’s coming :)

Your voice is similar to Sinix design on KZread

Do you watch Fireship? I just watched the Code Report right before this and realized how similar the editing is? Great video!

lol yes! My inspiration! I love his stuff and feel like the 3D sector could use a bit of it.

@@mrbennelson Yeah I think thats a great call, I think you're right. Great idea.

Do you get the difference between recipes and HDA? More easily manageable or sth else?

I've always seen HDA's as a way to make a generalized tool that Houdini doesn't already have built out, or something that's specific to your project or studio needs. For example, an HDA that generates procedural houses would be a specific project need. Recipes are a way to pass a collection of nodes that would probably be used for a specific shot, or numerous shots. For example, say a studio needs 10-15 fire shots on an interior of a house. You wouldn't really make an HDA for that, but you could have an artist create the unique fire effects as a setup, then copy that as a recipe to then pass to other artists.

What's new with the ML in houdini?

Tbh I’m not sure yet. I’m excited to see their keynote and hear more about it

I love Houdini. No more low-performance, bossy and thief softwares.

3:24 That's bad right ? Sounds like houdini's learning curve is going to get cut and everyone is using it like blender

I personally think Houdini has needed to make workflows easier for a long time, while maintaining the current deep level of control. If pre made setups can be easier to manage and pass along I’m all for that.

Substance replacement? This? Lol...

yes definitely. adobe is so far behind there are already solutions better than substance like InstaMat.. give it a year or 2 and this is gonna make substance look like a toy. The full context round tripping and implementation of ML on top of it makes this not only poised to be a substance replacement but potentially a comfyUI replacement as well. very exciting stuff

Does anyone still use Substance anymore since Adobe bought them? Adobe's latest TOS said they can steal all of your work and use it to train AI!
