Farsheed Ashouri Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yes, yes I know. My question is stupid but there is no rule in this forum that: PLEASE DO NOT ASK STUPID QUESTIONS. Here is my crazy quesion: Could houdini do everything maya does? I mean, sculpting, paint, nParticles, nCloth, fast fur, very good renderman integration, nice python API, .... Thanks.

Most of it yes, some of it might take longer initially though. If you turn the question around and ask if Maya can do anything Houdini can do I would say no. Especially when it comes to vops and dops. You should stop seeing software as a collection of features, but instead regard them as platforms to develop your own tools. In Maya you generally end up writing mel/python or expressions anyway when you want to automate things/do more advanced things. Through vops, microsolvers in dops and just general sop functionality you can implement "the latest siggraph feature" yourself, easier.

For example, if you missed it: which is an implementation of Coordinates For Instant Image Cloning (SIGGRAPH 2009) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitallysane Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 My question is stupid but there is no rule in this forum that: PLEASE DO NOT ASK STUPID QUESTIONS. I think it's about time that such a rule is put in place. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Houdini doesn't have paintfx (no loss there), or decent cloth (no offense)... Otherwise, please use your discretion about stupid questions . Too many and rules could be instated. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
