I just got a cool Christmas gift!
Added 2018-12-21 21:08:35 +0000 UTCA friend bought me a $200 training course for Houdini (The king of simulators). With a coupon he only spent $11 which is a nice deal.
I could never buy Houdini in my current situation as it is FOUR FREAKING THOUSAND DOLLARS.
But in theory, I could do my soft body sims in the free apprentice version of Houdini and export the results as an .MDD or Alembic file and bring that data into Lightwave for rendering.
In theory.

yeah as far as I am aware it's the best in the industry for sims.

2018-12-22 09:44:48 +0000 UTCI just watched a video of this software. Even if 4K is clearly a lot, I can understand that price. It's really impressive.

2018-12-21 22:44:11 +0000 UTCyeah.. I can already do cloth tearing pretty well.. Not procedurally like that of course. The thing I can't do so well (if at all) is self-collisions.. That's where Houdini spanks Lightwave.

2018-12-21 22:38:32 +0000 UTCHeh that's cute. Yeah I hear the thing with Houdini is EVERYTHING is done with nodes.. Which sounds interesting. If I can wrap my head around it it could be very powerful.
