deecue Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I heard a rumor the other day that pixar's fx dept had recently switched over to a houdini centric pipe.. can anyone confirm or deny this? it'd be interesting to know and a nice bump for sesi if true. obviously, there's gonna be a lot of proprietary stuff going on, but still cool nonetheless..

There's at least one Pixar guy that frequents the Houdini Mailing List. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecue Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Wow, I haven't been on the listserv for a loooong time.. I should get back in to that.. Anyways, that one guy wouldn't happen to be George ElKoura by any chance would it? He was an engineer at sesi for a while and I believe he's been at pixar r&d for the last few years.. Maybe I should shoot him an email and see if he's heard anything.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Michael O'Brien that I'm thinking of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Fiske Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 They definitely picked up one of Sony's Sr. Houdini FX guys, so it wouldn't be surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if Pixar have Houdini in their pipeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
