Anyone used it? Thoughts?
I haven’t tried it. What do you need to know? These look like good HDAs for indie game developers or beginner Houdini artists. However, when it comes to studio work, most of these aren’t very useful, as each studio has its own Houdini tools because each studio has different pipeline. Personally, in the studio, I use only my own HDAs and Houdini Labs.
That’s certainly the case with most places I’ve been as well. I’m less sure it’s a good thing though: how much energy has been diverted into recreating minor variations on the same basic solutions over and over when we could be collectively moving on…?
I prefer handling my own hda, knowing exactly what they do and being able to update them as I please rather than depending on someone else’s tool, when I don’t know if they will keep them up to date, fix bugs or enhance them.
