a paintfx tool same as maya

You actually like that crap?! What's wrong with you, lmao? You need to be introduced to copy stamping/instancing it will be a whole new world for you...

 

I would not say its crap! Its actually very useful tool that has been used to do many cool effects throughout the years. It still has features thats more timeconsuming to do in Houdini :)

Pull out the guns for an off the shelf, no plugins, no scripts, no holds bar showdown at high noon, lol. pew pew

 

Everything has it pros and cons  ;) and some people are just con-men trying to make a living.

 

One day SESI will make nice production friendly wrappers!!! One day!!!

If OpenGL is unified in Houdini 14, it would be great to have the ability to have a switch

- Open GL 4.0

- Open GL 2.0 ES emulation

 

Exactly like the new feature introduce in UE4 4.6

https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/unreal-engine-46-released

 

For the exact same purpose :

 

You can now preview what your scene will look like on mobile devices directly in the editor viewport! Shaders will emulate the look and feature set of OpenGL ES2, and you can switch back and forth seamlessly.

  • You have to enable Feature Level Preview under experimental settings.
  • On the main editor toolbar, click Settings -> Feature Level Preview -> ES2.

 

Additionaly it would be great to have an OpenGL context inside SHOP exactly like the Renderman Context.

 

- We would be able to access OpenGL set of features directly from VOP.

- write our own GLSL nodes,

- Then ability to merge/encapsulate RealTime context (OpenGL) and Precalc Context (Mantra/Prman) inside a same shaders

 

Thus having a real time previz of our lighting and shading with a pretty good accuracy (70% ? :) ) and being able to

- set our lighting

- make our lookdev

In Real Time inside Houdini
