Szymon Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Yo brethren, I know some of you have much experience with JIG+Houdini... specially folks up there Can you tell how hard to use it is? Is there any way to work with in any visual way or it's just a scripting software? Any good tutorial for a start? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 bah... has anyone ever gotten that damn trail copy page to work? I think I've tried 4-5 times to request an eval of Jig, but the web site has tons of broken links - the request form being one of them...

Mcronin Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I saw that as well, so I just emailed info@steamboat-software.com. Waiting to hear back. I noiced it says on their site they are working on a Houdini connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szymon Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 yeah, never ending broken links..... but if some of you guys would write few step by step samples would be cool. And first of all: is it really worth of digging in? hmmm..... R&H "Sum of all fears" Houdini+JIG job looks awesome by the way: http://www.rhythm.com/inside_randh/press_2..._0219_ves.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcronin Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Mailing info@steamboat-software.com worked. They have sent me the license agreement for the 30 day eval which I have to sign and return, and they will then send me the software. Notice their pricing as well. They have a personal use license which is just 200 USD for one year. I assume you can't do commercial work with this license, but I don't know if there are any limitations to software (though I doubt there are any). Is this worthwhile? I don't see why not. Learning new software is always worthwhile. Some comapnies do use it in production. You may never get a job using Jig, but I'm sure the experience will be worthwhile. I'm going to see if Maybe they'll hold off on sending me the software until next week, so I'll have a lot of time to devote to it. I'll post some stuff if I can figure out how to do anything with it.

Szymon Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 Well done Mcronin. I look forward to hearing your opinion and some tutorial or just some step by step description. I agree about learning new software. That's why I already use 3dsmax, maya, xsi and houdini Let us know anyway about your fight with JIG. Cheers, Szymon.
