Szymon

Thanks Leo! I know, it's been some time I'm glad to be back.

Hello everyone, I'm glad to be back...... It's been a long time since I've posted anything here, I know Here is my new demoreel: Szymon Masiak DemoReel and website: Masiak3d.com I haven't used Houdini for some time even I love it, that's why my demo is mostly 3dsmax related. I'm looking for fx / particle / TD job. I used to work in States for few years and now I'm based in Poland. I hope you'll like my demo

I love it. Great job Stu !

I did. It's suuuuuuuper sloooooooooooooooow and not useful for anything than architectural visualisations. Definatelly not production chiose. Great renders but even with simple scene render time just doesn't make sense. Long, long, long, loooooooooooong hours of render. Just stupid.

Thanks AndrewVK ! That was quick. Nice example. Thanks a lot. Great start.

....and if you will..... don't forget to post a final scene

Thanks a lot Luca. That sounds interesting. Finally someone spoke I remember SESI was showing us point cloud technique very quick six months ago saying it's something new and way faster than i3d - some torus turned into volumentrics. Quite interesting, but I couldn't get any more informations about it after that. Right now for me it looks like technique to render i3d faster, nothing more. Am I right? By the way: why it was easier just write a code? Was it really so complicated to do in VOP's?

Is it some kind of in-house secrets you guys have that nobody can say anything about it? Is it really so complicated?

We used Glu3D insted RF for few productions. But it's for 3dsmax and Maya only. Max version has more features than Maya tho. Looks like Rafal forgets you can't do more in RF than fluids and Charlie was not only about doing CG Chocolate.

Hey Drew? Anyway to get H8 build? BTW: I agree with Jason about VOPs - that would be awesome.

Cool ! Congrats SESI ! Good job everyone

Hi guys, this one is completly off-topic, but just wanted to let you know, for you who are Mac users and using Motion by any chance, that I have created this: www.motionVFX.com I know, I know, not houdini related, but totally off-topic. Maybe someone will be interested. By the way: any news about MacOS X port of Houdini ? LOL !

These scenes are available in SESI's exchange now.

Cool... thanks Jason. I'll have a look into. Thanks for sugesstions. It's always good to know some more from experts. I was testing it how far I can go with shader and this one renders pretty fast - about 30seconds - 1minute a frame. 640x320 with MBlur. Sweet.

and here goes redered sequence using above mountain scene. Mountain.mov
