I also notice that Houdini can stop the computer very quickly. I did see on a seminar that one render was soaking up 128GB of RAM. This pro stuff is getting silly. It also seems common practice to sub out rendering to specialist folk. Not that it is necessary for YouTube. The other minor problem is that expressions are written in VEX and not Python. I am rubbish with Python so it's not a big deal for me. Single line code is contained in square brackets, which appears to save writing multiple lines for vectors.<br />I will get there but I have to do a bit at a time as my head threatens to explode.Adrian Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061432566298145837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-30534028030821599612019-08-11T07:16:08.416+01:002019-08-11T07:16:08.416+01:00Amazingly complex patterns.
