jbond Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) 1.There are a Coden framework with what user can write a plugin that work in all 3d packages.So it can be the same thing - direct connect to another app. 2.Or if "Lab" name have a sense it maybe a low level Library of tools and user's have access to them - so anybody can do a tool that all want. But this tools have a Cloud based solution - web access. 3.Another approach is voting system - if SESI do something, people votes, like they this or not, and say how they see this feature. In this case developer go on "democracy" style and gets ideas for free. Edited July 8, 2013 by jbond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0rr Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) It's named sideFX labs, not Houdini labs ... maybe for a reason . Or it might just be something coming from the super secrete sideFX labs . Edited July 9, 2013 by 0rr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zarti Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 SidefxLabs doesnt sound like a product or 'the news' itself ( to me ) . ( the news ) im expecting more of a product made from theLab . .cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanton Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 "In his talk, Mayer will explain how the shot grew in length and how it was done. He described the tech detail to fxguide and hopefully this should give you a sense of the kinds of presentations that will take place at Dailies. “I simulated eighteen separate fluid grids, about 1.35 billion voxels per frame. Each flow started as a simple particle system for blocking. I rasterized these into our openvdb volumes and fed them into our proprietary fluid simulator, Flux, which is embedded in Houdini." Flux -> Houdini ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooshum Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Similar / same as Macha's speculation: Maybe something like Autodesk Labs were we get to see the various behind-the-scenes projects being worked on? http://labs.autodesk.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0rr Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hmm, I wonder if this has something to do with this entry in the journal: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 Houdini 12.5.454: Added standalone executable, gpdb, for converting from Protein Data Bank (PDB) atomic coordinate entry files to geo or bgeo files containing point clouds with the atomic data. Maybe we get a standalone HoudiniPlayer which also runs on android and ios like the flashplayer only for digital assets ... either that or Houdini will be entirely rewritten in Haskell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macha Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I just saw the first lab entry and I must say Houdini Engine is a bigger project than I thought. Looks pretty cool. I'm happy SESI has this attitude of making everything better and as best they can, everytime. No stagnation, always going forward. Really great!
