Hi Magicians. Anyone had luck setting the Houdini Engine with Unreal Engine 4.26-Chaos Beta 3 build? It is completely unstable for v2 of the plugin and Sync is not working in v1. Thanks, Tom

Hi guys, Im planning to build a pc for me and also gonna buy indie license, i will use this pc mostly for motion graphics work, particles, small scale flip and high res pyro as well. i have choosen the nvida 2070 gpu for gpu rendering but after the leaks im now waiting for the new generation gpus from nvidia. i have googled a lot about choosing the right cpu,still i couldn't decide which one to buy amd ryzen 9 3900x or intel 10700k i know amd has more cores which can be utilised well by houdini. but still lot of my friends suggest intel over Amd based on their user experience. also i have found this comparison here https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-9-3900XT-vs-Intel-Core-i9-10900K/m1202614vs4071 in which amd is way too down than than intel. But everyone over youtube suggesting AMD. so i really need suggestion from you guys who are actual houdini users instead of blindly believing in youtubers and online database.. Any advise will really help me a lot as this is gonna be a very big investment for me. Thank you.

Hello wizards, I am about to build my first PC ever, I have no clue on hardware specification stuff, I have like $3000-$4000 budget and I want to invest my money wisely that's why I need your help. I would use this PC for Houdini and Redshift mainly, mostly motion design and a little bit of simulations, and i want to be able to upgrade this setup overtime. I also dont know if I am missing something important. This is what i came up with: Processor AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, S-AM4, 3.80GHz, 12-Core, 64MB L3, con Disipador Wraith Prism RGB Motherboard Gigabyte ATX X570 UD, S-AM4, AMD X570, HDMI, 128GB DDR4 for AMD RAM Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4, 2400MHz, 32GB (4 x 8GB) GPU: Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Gaming, 8GB 256-bit GDDR6, PCI Express x16 3.0 HDD SSD Samsung 860 PRO, 2TB, SATA III, 2.5" Liquid Cooling Raidmax TORNADO RC240 Case Corsair Carbide SPEC-054 Power source Corsair CX750M 80 PLUS Bronze, ATX, 120mm, 750W I appreciate any tips!

Hi guys! I need some advice from hardware magicians. Since our studio is expanding a lot, we are looking to build some new powerful machines to renew our old workstations. Our main software is Houdini, 3dsmax and Modo, and renders are Redshift and Vray. We also want to use them as a farm, when no one is working on them or for night sims/renders. But for this one, it will be only for Houdini+Redshift, so im going to write down the list of hardware that i have in mind, and let's see if you can give me any help to have better specs. We can get up to 5-6k per machine. MOBO: Asus Z10PE-D16 WS CPUs: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2630V4 (i really think that is a bit overkill, i think it will be better and cheaper to get an i9 or one of this new AMD ones) RAM: 2x Crucial DDR4 2666MHz 32GB CL19 DRX4 ECC ( 64gb total, maybe getting 128, since this one will be the main houdini machine) SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 PCIe NVME SSD: GOODRAM SSD 960GB 2.5" CX300 LIQUID REFRIGERATION: Cooler Master MasterLiquid 120 PSU: Be Quiet! Dark Power PRO 11 1200W 80+ Platinum BOX: In Win 805C ATX GPU: 4x Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Gaming OC 8GB Let me know guys! Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone I am trying to build a somewhat high-end computer that will be able to handle all sorts of simulations in Houdini, especially high res flip and pyro sims. I don't know much about computer parts but here's what I am currently hoping to get: - Processor: Xeon E5-2687W v4 - Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC If anyone could share their thoughts on these two parts that would be greatly appreciated. And I'd also like some help choosing my SSD and RAM as I have no idea what would be good for running simulations in Houdini. Thank you so so much in advance Cheers.

Hello, Over the summer, I'm planning to build a new PC for doing FX work (and also just general purpose). My brother put together this spec on pc part picker, (since he's more knowledgeable than me when it comes to hardware) but I thought I'd ask for advice as to where I should spend my money. Here's what I'm currently looking at: I've never built my own PC before so any advice you could give would be really helpful!

Hi, I'm looking to build a PC at home and I don't know a huge amount these things so I'm looking for some advice. My budget is around £3k. The main uses will be Houdini, Maya and Nuke. I do a fair amount of heavy fx work and I'm planning to do gpu rendering with redshift. My main questions are to do with which cpu and gpu to go for: CPU - the AMD threadripper looks very interesting, is it worth waiting to see how much that costs and how it compares to intel i7/i9? - are the i9 chips worth it? - or is it better to go for a dual cpu (e.g. dual xeons)? Would that fit in my budget? is it possible to use just one cpu on a dual socket (with the option to add another at a later date)? GPU - I would ultimately like to have 2 or 3 gpus for rendering but, so I guess this influences which motherboard I can get (with enough pci-e lanes) - I think the 1070 seems like a really good option to start with for price/performance

Hi all, Completely new to Houdini and this forum! I am Cinema4D-er learning Houdini on a brand spanking new PC. It's also my first build so not-so-bright choices may have been made... It seems my viewport/perspective view is taking up so much time (Red-zone on the Performance Monitor). Figured I'd start by checking my hardware, so please judge my build for anything that is off... (Don't judge me ) Thanks for your help i7-7700K Asus Prime Z270-A Corsaie LPX DDR4-2133 MSI GeForce GTX 1060
