![]() Back to a "good workflow" I'm afraid I won't be able to produce a good receipt that you can instantly and magically apply to your workflow. If I start rendering outside iClone then what the point of using iClone in the first place ? What I'm interested in iClone is still the "Machinima" idea and how to obtain the best results with its constraints. To me the point of iClone is to render as much as possible everything in iClone at "interactive speed" and max quality, I'm not interested in having final renders at realtime speed though. Regarding rendering, as I often mentioned it in my messages, I'm not trying to render anything outside of iClone. So here there are no difference with any other 3D DCC tool: you create assets you get into iClone, for a very cheap and legit licence price (similar to a Maya LT subscription but with infinitely more power). You can do procedural animation as well, of course. Houdini has the advantage to let you do procedural modeling at a level not reachable by any other software. Like any other 3d DCC tool you can do modeling in Houdini, so you can use it to create any object that you can import into iClone through 3DXchange. I'm using Houdini on a daily basis at work for VFX work but I'm unable to answer your question regarding a "good workflow" with iClone because it depends on what you mean by that and what you are using iClone for. ![]() But - unless you are very experienced - you won't work as fast as with Maya, Softimage, 3DSMax, etc. The essence of Houdini is not to work fast but to do the job and never hit a wall, no matter what the challenge is (the only exception here being sculpting, you can't do what ZBrush do in Houdini). I admitted elsewhere that Houdini requires a lot of patience and has a steep learning curve, this is not something you decide to use to quickly resolve your issues. It does not really work that way unfortunately, you don't open a thread with a kind of defiant attitude asking for someone to show off or to prove Houdini worth something and can be adapted to your iClone workflow.
