Packed knowledge!

This made me realise just how time efficient using TOPs is, thanks for the great video!

Thanks for the video, can't wait to get my hands on 20.5, Copernicus looks insane, I also want to test XPU on my RTX 4000 card and see if it really got that much faster!

Your videos truly helps me a lot in many ways. Not only do I learn new nodes and how to use them, I also learn how to think different which is truly important. I appreciate your hard work and the valuable time you put in to make these videos which helps others.

iPhones have had a gyroscope since the iPhone 3GS (2009) lol

tnx man :)

This is 100%🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Houdini is the best all-in-one VFX and DCC software, but it would be a matter of time before SideFX increase their perpetual license price

Such a powerful tool, what else do you guys want to explore?

Advance level Pyro explosions..basic is everyone had

This is going to be a fun one!

i think also great software alternative for photoshop is paintshop pro now also they have AI

So awesome 🎉

This is so nice! 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

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! 💪🏼

im not going all in, just the tip

I mean S Painter is a really great tool. I cant imagine that houdini comes even close to that. Maybe it can beat SDesigner with its more mathmatical and node based system. Dont get me wrong I would love to cancel my adobe subscriptions but I dont think that will happen with this release of H20.5

I need to push to learn houdini, i have been wanting to make dank simulation for soo long.

I’ve been wanting to switch to Davinci for a-while now. However I am a bit lazy and have been dragging my feet over learning the nose-based editing.

Fun fact, I edited this in Premiere Pro.

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's hard to keep up with Houdini tools

!

This is such a great technique for RBD simulations, thanks so much Mr Bryan

been using houdini for 4 years, and this for sure is the best updated I have seen so far

Sculpt tools. This will help so much with corrective shapes and any blend shape when dealing with character FX.

The most exciting thing is what SideFx didn't do.... Fortunately, the developers don't fall for the hype hysteria and don't come up with some bullshit AI tools that have no practical use.

Btw, this isn't the first time they have taken advantage of another company's downfall. Solaris became production-ready at the same time Isotropix discontinued ClarisseFX. The update, called "Karma Instance Overrides," is a clear declaration of their intention to take Clarisse's place.

Legendary. Greatest release in the history of VFX.

I’ve been on the fence about learning Houdini, but this update really is pushing me to give it a go!

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)

What are you most excited for in Houdini 20.5?!

I really appreciate that you don't just stick to surface level stuff and you go deeper into things like expressions. I really feel like this helps people understand the software more deeply.

Tons of useful tips and tricks in this one! Which one is your favorite?

It's a longer one, I tried to pack as much information into this one as I could without going to far from what we have already discussed in the previous videos!

What other neat little tricks to overcome hurdles do you guys want to learn about?

awesome!

Looking forward to the next update!

This felt like it would have been the most complex shot. I’ll have to see if there’s some behind-the-scenes for the production of this movie. I hate to ruin the magic but it’s just so damn impressive.

Took me a few min, but god damn how did i not notice that 😂 Thanks

Sir, that is a Brachiosaurus, NOT a "Brontosaurus"

The acting was the real disaster (along with the sequels)...not all the CGI in the universe wouldnt makeup for that
