Hi All,

[lph]

Is it hard to find job in HK when people using Houdini?

[mayaBug]

Not much pple use Houdini in hk
Unless U had study in CityU Scope b4 .

But Houdini really a powerful tool !!

[lph]

yes, but I think sometime should depend on
what you can done more then the software...
right?

[jly625]

Yes. Houdini 4.0 is very powerful in digital effect. Especially in partical control, I think Houdini partical parts is much much more power than Maya or XSI once.

:>

[lph]

Of course Maya is good la.
but houdini not just good for Particles.
Like Channel Operators and Composite Operations are powerful too.
And in Ver.5, they have new Character tools to do character things. much better then Ver.4.

[jly625]

Yes Yes Yes

Channel control is very powerful.

Now I want to make a "motion control camera" by myself. And put the recorded camera movement to houdini to control the cam. in software.

[lph]

yes, I did that in my car to...he he

Dear IPH,

sounds very interesting.

Can you tell me more about your idea.

hee hee

[lph]

haha...my name is LPH, not iph.

In my case, base on the keyframe animation. And add more movement on the object. To make more realistic motion. so I just use "Mouse CHOP" in CHOPs link to the object. Put "Math CHOP" after the "Mouse CHOP" to adjust volume of the motion. And then use "Record CHOP" to resconding your motion.
That means you can use the "Recond CHOP" to perform resconding of channels from mouse movements. Control this by real time(near...). funny...

Hope this can help you la.

That is a very useful idea.
