What's up guys, back with another 2d to 3d translation.

We got meshing working 🙂

Forum is not hacked 🙂 There is significant effort behind the scenes to stop spammers and various attacks. this happens on daily basis and requires resources. it also shows you why it is impossible to run the forum for free and major part of the membership fee goes into data protection. We have full protection on our dedicated server, active spam defense via forum software and backend has real humans taking care of things. this does not mean sometimes some post wont get through but this is known issue with forum software which following patch should resolve. our up time and consistency is on really high level - have fun everyone

I’ve been using pCloud for backups and finished projects and it has worked really well. But in the last year I’ve used my iCloud account more and more as I was already paying for more space there. It’s been very fast and reliable. I keep an additional backup on a Thunderbolt disk as well - transfer speeds are insane : )

Yabba Dabba Do! That's fabulous!

An interesting thread - and one that I've only just caught. Its been about a year since I started seriously learning Houdini. Is it the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything? No, but for simulation type work nothing currently comes close... Here's one of my recent favourites from a solo artist: I agree with a lot of ICM's comments - gloopy, viscous, engine-oil, honey - that's relatively easy. Realistic water? TBH I've yet to see any non Houdini result that delivers. And, as an aside, I 100% agree with Eikons post above - Sidefx support is superb - even for low level indie users like myself. On a few occasions I sent non-urgent bug reports or raised small issues as I've come across them during some weekend learning / experimentation, expecting a reply on Monday. I've stopped doing that - simply because I know If I do I will get a reply over the weekend - Saturday, Sunday morning - whenever.

You can add an extra 1 TB for $10 per month. I don't believe that that is limited to any amount, as long as you keep adding $10 for every TB. However, if your size requirements are that large, you'll want to look into their business plan offerings, which work out cheaper at larger capacities, and for more users.

I found pCloud very good. When I had fast broadband in the city pCloud was perfect for Team Render as all machines had the P drive mapped. There was a handy backup and sync between machines as well as ability to expand cloud space. I use OneDrive for documents and music. It has a 1TB limit though so I don't use it for renders or other large data.

I'd like to add an extremely important factor here — that only SideFX seems to provide — and that is world-class customer support. We are so used to what Autodesk and Maxon and Adobe call "customer support", that what SideFX do here seems almost like fantasy, but is actually real. For starters, they put out daily builds that contain bug fixes and even new features on occasion. Anyone can download these daily builds (even the free Apprentice users). If you submit a showstopping, high-priority bug report, they will address it with urgency and put out a bug fix at astonishing speed. You can send them your scene file to analyse, and they will actually analyse it and get back to you with a surprisingly quick turnaround. Their customer support staff are well-trained and actually competent, and you will frequently get direct responses from the developers, even for minor reports. The forums are also frequented by developers, and by helpful industry veterans, so you will almost always get a useful, helpful response to even tricky questions. I am not a SideFX shill, and will criticise them where applicable, but I can tell you wholeheartedly - the support you get from them is on an entirely other level from everyone else out there, and that adds a tremendous amount of value to a production.
