Just to note that the PC was tested on Windows. On Linux it's a whole new game, I get easily +30% increase of performance, so the PC is much more price efficient. The downside for me is that Windows is fucking annoying with all the bugs, and Linux can be challenging to setup when you have a specific environment (especially when you want to focus on your work). Macs are interesting because you get a ready-to-use package with a stable OS. Sadly there are still not optimized for 3D work as shown in this video. I hope there will be optimized soon because Macs have been known to be durable and stable even when working with multiple discs, simulations and files. Sometimes I get crazy with Windows and Linux, but I guess I still need to wait.

How about a hackintosh?

Apple is dead in the professional visual effects industry. Their focus is on home users. Slow processors and non-upgradable machines. Not worth the risk.

You need math and 1000 clicks to make a box tall. Blender is a gift to mankind. Let there be blender in everyhome

frutrating. super easy if you have the "od tools". what are od tools? because without the od tools you're back to mapping textures manually on your geo. which is fine until you have a complex asset with hundreds of textures like a buiding or kitbash asset for example

Thank you! You explain really well.

Thank u for the video!

wow politics in motion graphics 👎

same in 2024?

This amazing fancy trash does not run unreal engine vr mode! Amazing apple!

Thanks

great tut , Thank you !!

Thx! :)

great video! One thing I would add though is, that Cinema 4D has a student license for Maxon One that costs 10$ registration fee for 1 year and gives you the full version without render limitations or anything like the houdini apprentice version does. On top of that, Maxon One includes ZBrush now as well as of course Redshift and also Nomad for iPad which isnt terrible. I think you can't beat this deal for students and I guess that's Maxon's strategy to get young designers into the program early.

Great video brother 👍

Thank you so much. Can we have some Houdini tutorials about realistic rendering?

The labs baker just doesnt work for me unfortunately, i get weird black holes in it or its just black and white

Your patreon doesnt work?

So well explained. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this. Very great tutorial!

Very helpful, thank you

so sad its impossible to save into playlist, nice tutorial

Omg dude I've been looking for this for ages. Thank you!

Very Nice Tutorial, thanks very much!

Thank you from all of us here in Ukraine 🙏

Thank You!

but I see that motion graphics with cinema 4D look very creative and flexible, on the contrary, those made in houdini look basic but very polished

I'm intruiged to get further detail with a for each subdivide loop, I wonder how would I go about setting that for-each though? I tried selecting primitives and subdividing them, but I get incorrect results. Thanks a ton for the video!

houdini is a boring 3d software that is used by mathematicians, physicists, scientists, people who program computers, and is used for a very large amount of work over a long period of time. cinema 4d is a good program that anyone can use, and depending on what you use it for, it's a good program for personal use, and I think it's really good for professional work. houdini seems to be a program used by people who think they're brilliant, and it's a good program for bragging rights.

Your way of explaining us super cool

Excellent turorial, thanks a lot!

Oh cool! That is exactly what i need right now thx a lot!

Slightly pricier? Its 4600$ vs 3000$... The Mac prices are insane. Its like, take my money, 1.5 more, and I want a slower computer!

Did you use gpu or cpu for simulation and render on Houdini? If I have a i7 processor with a 2070 super it’s bether change the processor to 13700k or change the gpu for 4070 ti?

amazing!

You're a legend. This series has been such a great help and the Notion doc was just the cherry on top 🍒 Thanks so much.

Awesome tutorial! is there a easy way to export this to blender?

I think C4D has caught up a lot now and its also far faster than houdini in the viewport and simming realm. GPU baby.

Time for an M3 update....

Yonni you're the man! I started to learn houdini 3 times and left again and went back to C4D because i was learning it wrong. I started to watch tutorials on how to do very advanced stuff including almost always coding which cracked my head😂 But now i started using Houdini as i would use C4D - even when i just want to render something or model etc. I think THAT is the way to learn it, just use it as an everyday DCC. And if you get comfortable with it you can start with sims etc - at least that is my goal right now! This Video gave me so much motivation that i feel very comfortable now finally learning it now! Thank you Yonnie😊

i cant seen to find this on Patreon?

My Mac Studio is slower, quieter, and cooler than my Windows HP workstation. Also, my electric bill is lower with the Mac Studio. My Mac Studio is used primarily for graphic design, video editing, light 3D work/idea sketching/ with Maya, Blender and Maya. Any heavy duty rendering or dynamic simulations, I alway reserve for the HP Workstation. The speed/mathematical computation disparity has always been a known quantity. I need the reliability of the PC render times to charge clients appropriately. Also, I feel commercial software optimization over the years has been stronger on the Windows platform. Open GL/CL really never matured on the Mac platform. Different tools for different job. I have embraced the differences. Thank you for the research and content. This will be helpful to many as a planning guide.

I hope you are running the apple silicon build of houdini? if not then yeah, this is all being emulated thru rosetta and you are getting much worse performance. in general, pc with an nvidia gpu is going to kick a mac's ass at rendering with XPU beacuse sidefx needs to re-write xpu for metal as they have for cuda and embree. these days i tend to recommend people go PC for their workstations and get a mac if you want a laptop. the benefits you get from apple silicon is much greater in a laptop because the efficient chips are going to result in better battery, less heat, and a much slimmer, more compact product. macs definitely arent ideal for houdini right now but i'm still very impressed with how much my macbook air m1 can handle when compared to my desktop PCs.

ALSO would like to see this test run on an M2 Ultra with 192gig ram & 76 gpu cores.. just saying..

I for one am still using C4d for the moment.. but have setup TeamRender for network rendering so i can happily stay on the mac while using the PC for final frame like a 1-gpu (4090) render farm. - Can Karma gpu do the same? or would you have to setup say Deadline or does Houdini have a built in cross platform Network render option?

great tutorial man

I used C4d for almost 13 years. Since version 9.5. It's an unrealiable piece of crap. I wish I had the balls to jump to houdini earlier. I switched 2 and a half years ago, I don't regret a single thing.

Lockheed Martin vs Hasbro

This is my last month of buying C4D.

thank you so much, this was great!
