I will get into HDK too but I don't want to diverge too much from doing vfx right now, because I think HDK is not a simple undertaking. So I will leave when I am at a level in Houdini where I am content but want to step up the game

If you are from a different country, it's certainly harder to get it if you were local. Even the most locals wouldn't agree, the visa issues are very real. But don't get discouraged. If you make a video showing everything you did, I am sure it would attract a lot of attention.

There are a lot of ways you can extract money in this business IMO

Why not make some tool development series for Houdini for sale. There aren't many resources right now, and this way not only you would be doing what you are doing now, but also make money.

I agree with doing your own stuff though. No matter what company you are working for, nothing is better than living wherever you want, doing whatever you want just for fun, whether it's 3d or something else. No obligations just wild experiments
