[october2005] Hi, folks. How did I make the splash screen image so big with the apprentice license? I did NOT rip it =). It's a Photoshop hack - take a couple of smaller images 640x480 and copose them up. Also don't forget to keep the Houdini official logo. Though I took the liberty to reposition the logo, still I kept it and since I don't use Aprentice license commercially - I hope I don't break any treaties. Else if I do - please inform me, before waging a copyright war, ok? Thanks in advance.

Ok, here are my last results.

Currently I haven't implemented the second pass yet, as I've been strugling at getting a decent looking 1st pass + algorithm optimisation with KD-tree like approach.

I haven't played too much with my tree's parameters - so I kept average ones (in terms of speed).

System: Athlon1000, 768 RAM, Windows XP Home edition

Here I culled the back faces of the rabbit:

number of points of the scene: 17925
"kd-tree" generation time: 0.70 sec
cooking time: 3 min 55 sec
rendering time: 6 sec

=============================================

Here is the full rabit:

number of points of the scene: 36669
"kd-tree" generation time: 1.52 sec
cooking time: 14 min 25 sec (around 40 minutes without optimization)
rendering time: 9.02 sec

Second pass was add, "kd-tree" options are temporary disabled (buggy).

Thanks everybody who helped so much (Mario, hoknamahn and others).

	The recent demoreel. (30Mb, Windows Media 9 codec) [Update] new version, June 2007. Mainly a collection of effects I've been studying for a while, a simple computational fluids dynamics sollution, shading and rendering research. Nothing fancy, some shots could be done better and will be likely embellished in the future, many things I see different now than at the beginning of he project... Anyway, there's no such thing as a "perfect shot", is there? =) Some details were lost due to compression. (e.g. metal flakes in the car paint shot).


	Since I am more interested in a position of VFX TD, for a demo of my compositing skills, please visit www.the-framelab.com that sort of a job I was doing in a company of other collegues-compositors =================================== - below you can see what I had as my entry compositing portfolio for THE-FRAMELAB






плагин для Houdini основанный на алгоритме nVidia для Gems - убербыстрый окклюжн. в идеале - почти риалтайм,. версия 1.0beta работает на билдах 7й версии. Для линукса и 8й версии не компилил. Хотите попробывать - наздоровье.(tested for H8.1.704 Linux only) [read the blog]
экспортер сцен Houdini > VRay. для чего? а чтоб было =) покачто экспортит только геометрию. на очереди свет и материалы . v.0.2alpha (yet exports geometry only)
Here are some very very basic SOP codes. maybe some day I will feel like making a HDK basics tutorial. hope thees files can be of some use for the beginning (click the fat mage)	HDK for dummies
