SideFX Houdini FX 17.5.293 | 1.2 Gb

SideFX has released a new sneak peek for Houdini 17.5.293, the next update to its 3D animation and FX software. Version 17.5 introduces PDG which is designed to enhance SideFX’s procedural architecture to distribute tasks and manage dependencies to better scale, automate, and analyze content pipelines for Film, TV, Games, Advertising and VR. In addition, there have been a number of enhancements to key features such as FLIP Fluids, volumes, destruction tools and more.

Houdini 17.5.293 - Release Date June 19, 2019:

- Rename "Commercial Licensing" option to "License Server", to reflect the fact that it works with all license types.
- Replace this line with your comments
- Fix for bug where attaching an existing input to a new asset would cook the output existing assets as well as the new asset
- Changed lookup of $HFS in libHAPIL to use GetEnvironmentVariable on Windows instead of getenv to fix failure to locate HFS in some cases.
- Fix regression from Houdini 17 where multiple match*() keys in a row might erroneously cause infinite evaluation errors.

About SideFX Houdini FX 17.5. The release introduces the Procedural Dependency Graph (PDG), described by SideFX as a potentially industry-changing new technology.

PDG, also due to become available in a new standalone application, PilotPDG, enables users to specify the dependencies between different parts of a project’s task graph, making it possible to do anything from running simulations and renders in parallel to ‘assetizing’ entire sections of a studio’s pipeline.

SideFX also expects PDG to form the basis of new machine learning workflows within Houdini.

Other new features in Houdini 17.5 include distributed fluid simulation, a high-quality new GPU-accelerated viewport smoke shader, and updates to the Vellum multiphysics solver.
