"Houdini in 10 hours" Shit is getting wild. I was waiting for our car to get fixed, and downloaded VSCode and Codex. 10 hours later I have a Houdini-esque node-based geometry editor running.

I had a presentation on our Pax Dei world generation pipeline at the Everything Procedural Conference last April. If you're interested in large scale game world generation, procedural techniques, #Houdini and #Unreal, take a look! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlyt...

Found a cool noise that behaves like erosion, but without any simulation! www.shadertoy.com/view/WXcSRH

Vibe Wrangles Thinking of how to combine LLMs with @sidefx.bsky.social #Houdini Here's LLM-enabled variants for Attribute Wrangle SOP and Python SOP. The difference is a string input where you can describe what you want the Wrangle to do, and it will initialize the code field

This MCP stuff is cool so I had to make a Houdini-MCP as well. Mostly a conversion of siddharth ahuja's Blender-MCP, but with the addition of Claude being able to get an OpenGL render - to enable it to see what it's doing. Not useful for real, but a fun gimmick and maybe a sign of things to come.

A bit of LLM fun in @sidefx.bsky.social Houdini, less than one cent a wish! ;)

As far as I know we are first to integrate Discord into our game. Our in-game chats are now actually Discord chats, and you can message between Discord clients and the game. The initial implementation is quite barebones, but this opens up a lot of possibilities! playpaxdei.com/en-us/news/g...

Pax Dei’s chat system is now powered by Discord | Pax Dei - Social Sandbox MMO

A social sandbox MMO developed on Unreal 5, where you can build a home, craft your weapons and go to war. What world will you make?

I have started a Houdini List as well as a Starter Pack, if someone either doesn't want to follow a bunch of accounts, or wants to get Houdini discussions in its own tab. bsky.app/profile/did:...

basic stuff, but here's an example of doing a feedback loop in old and new COPs via reading the previous frame. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1s6es...

As a "hello world" here I give you .. nand2trace. I've been going through the nand2tetris course (building a computer from nand gates up) and having a lot of fun. As the course project I naturally did a small hacky raytracer. A bit tricksy as the cpu is simple and only has integers, but sorta works
