Use TOPs in Houdini to Cache Large Simulations
I have been doing quite a bit of RND behind the scenes! And in order to do that we have to be efficient with not only our time but our whole process. Using a top network in Houdini is essential in the production setting, so having an understanding of how to use TOPs in Houdini to cache large simulations is a tool that every artist should have in their bag. In this video, I will break down how to quickly set up your network so you can cache your whole scene all at once!

Recently you have likely heard of the FTC lawsuit against Adobe for their unfair practices preventing people from a seamless method of unsubscribing from their service. This follows after the debacle of the new terms that Adobe put out claiming they hold the rights to your work in certain situations. Now I have been on the fence with Adobe for some time now and I have slowly been in the process...

    Dude, you’ll love DaVinci. The worst thing about leaving Adobe is the connected ecosystem. Being able to link a PSD or VFX comp into Premiere was handy but it didn’t keep me from switching five years ago. Premiere hurt me bad with too many crashes. DaVinci has always been stellar. Not sure if you’re using the free or Studio version but Studio has some niceties you’ll probably appreciate. Extra Open FX and GPU optimization being at the top. I’ve been planning on doing a Photoshop alternative video. You may have just inspired me to jump on it. Great vid, brother, as always! 💪🏼

      Nodes are surprisingly easy to learn.It’s intuitive and incentivizes an organized compositing setup. Once you get into nodes, a traditional layer based structure seems illogical for compositing.

    Houdini always had a great base of tools for overtaking many other tools and now they are delivering big time. Consider this: Grooms are all done in Houdini now; They are working on a speedtree like system; Their rigging and anim system is absurdly great already; and then just for fun they made all of the COPs tools do what substance designer can to and more. If you look at how many nodes SD has it was never that hard, but for some reason they keep adding new stuff even in .5 release. Also keep in mind that other companies take years to implement or fix basic features and almost never implement whole new systems. If SideFx was a publicly traded company now would be the time to buy stock. But its not, and that's great because they can think long term. Its all coming together now.

    It was already amazing how much SideFX keeps innovating each and every release, but this? This blows EVERYTHING out of the water, if not by the technological advancements but JUST the sheer volume of new things alone. Literally JUST the new solver and some animation updates would be enough, but they went far and beyond anything I envisioned. I am still finding it hard to come to terms with all this new things and how much of new workflows it will unlock. I agree with what you said that before I would be a little hesitant to just focus on one tool, but with this release I am fully 100% confident in SideFX to lead the industry and become a near all-rounder tool. I just hope it doesn't become like adobe or be bought by some big company (fat chance of that happening from what the CEO says, but still am a little scared of it)

      I seriously can't wait to get my hands dirty with cops 2.0 it's something I was dreaming about for years. Houdini is my primary tool and I renew my license every two years. But I cant afford extra money to spend a huge amount for nuke and substance so I couldn't get them so far. I was using davinci fusion in replacement for nuke. But there is no reliable solution to substitute substance designer. But this game changing move from sidefx is really making me to buy lifetime houdini license. Houdini is not just a fx creation software it a complete vfx suite, only just few things are missing, so many people still thinks that houdini is just for doing simulation.
