draz Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I was reading a thread posted on CG Talk that linked to http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=5299 discussing a possible move to Linux at ILM. The last paragraph states that they are using Houdini Select. I was curious why they would be using select instead of Master. Surely they can afford the difference in cost. Any thoughts?

draz Posted September 7, 2002 Author Share Posted September 7, 2002 Yeah, that's true. I guess if a tool does the job that needs to be done then that's what you use. I'd like to read more about how Houdini fits into their pipeline over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to read more about how Houdini fits into their pipeline over there. How it would fit into ILM's pipeline? Well, if you (really) know Houdini you won't need to read any further!

draz Posted September 8, 2002 Author Share Posted September 8, 2002 Well since I've only had Apprentice for a little while I don't really know it that well at all. I'm assuming they would use it primarily for it's particles system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 i've always read that they use maya for particle/rigid bodies..all dynamics.. which was really suprising, so reading that line about houdini was a pleasant suprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUsualAlex Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I always thought that ILM never used Houdini and have been wondered for a long while. However, this is indeed a very pleasant surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
