Side Effects Software has released Houdini 10, the first commercially-available application able to slice up and distribute fluid simulations over a network of computers. 3D artists will benefit from faster simulation times in addition to the ability to create simulations at a much bigger size and scale than would be possible with a single computer.VFX artists can create high quality smoke and fire in Houdini 10 with the new Pyro FX tools. Utilizing cutting edge up-resing technology, Pyro FX makes it possible to create a low resolution simulation in planning out a shot, then increase the resolution on subsequent passes to add higher level of details and refinement. Pyro FX comes with several pre-made Pyro FX such as Billowy smoke and Fireball to give artists a head start when setting up a simulation.
Lighting artists can take advantage of the progressive Interactive Photorealistic Rendering (IPR) feature in Houdini 10. This IPR workflow supports both raytracing and Physically Based Rendering (PBR), providing feedback whenever a scene changes. An update will be triggered when shader and light parameters are tweaked or when objects, cameras and lights are added, moved or even removed. Artists can drag and drop materials into the IPR window and can ?control click? to access shader parameters for any part of an image. Snap shots can be taken to compare with other iterations of a shot using features such as ?diffing?.
Houdini 10 also includes support for Stereoscopic 3D in both the viewport and Houdini?s image viewer. The Houdini stereo camera supports both anaglyph and horizontal interlaced stereo and includes control for parallax and inter-axial distance. Studios can preview their 3D work from within Houdini and can generate stereo images at render time.
Houdini 10 includes many more features such as:
???? Motion FX which gives artist-friendly access to the procedural power of Houdini?s channel operators (CHOPS).
???? Improvements to Network Usability including new align tools, and the ability to quickly connect and disconnect nodes using fewer clicks.
???? Physically Based Rendering (PBR) is now fully supported in Houdini?s multi-threaded shading language.
???? Deep Camera Maps which make it possible to render volumes and objects into separate passes then combine them perfectly.
???? The Rigid Body Solver now supports ODE for faster simulations.
???? Houdini?s cloth solver can be used to simulate the Crumpling and Tearing of dentable and elastic surfaces.
???? The wire solver now supports Parting and is much faster when simulating longer wires.
???? New Knife and Edge Loop modeling tools.
Hi im using Houdini version in Leopard,this version have no menus,but theres a flicker and the flipbook dosent work,can i fixed or i have to wait a new houdini version or Leopard version.
Thanks
my problem reads like this
1.on a mac leopard ,the license server won’t stop so i did what you guys said i deleted sseintd and replaced with the crack.
2.i opened terminal and typed the chmod operations.
3.i restarted but the cracked sseintd doesn’t pick
4.because of that i don’t see server code so i can’t crack
5.so where am i going wrong?
a few minutes after posting for help it occurs to me how chmod operations work.Python’s instructions were correct WITH ONE EXCEPTION
the lines should refer to sesinetd not sbin…so the lines should read like this
(this also works for 9.5)
chmod +w /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin/sesinetd
now this “sesinetd” you are referring to should be the cracked one you used to replace the original(note once again as python said you cant stop the license server..which reads like “sesinetd” in activity monitor…what you do is delete original and copy-paste the cracked one into the sbin folder)
NB:in unix based commands when you typed the chmod line and press enter and nothing happens then its a good thing(as opposed to what king said).thats just how unix based commands work.
so to recap ,type
chmod +w /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin/sesinetd
chmod +r /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin/sesinetd
chmod +x /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin/sesinetd
AND restart everything should be fine now and you should now see your server code as the license server is now up and running.
use boot camp to run keygen and copy paste line for line .
here comes the dumb part .once you put in licenses 2 to 5 it will give you an error(at least in my case ).
1.quit license admin.
2.restart your mac.
3.open license admin.
if you notice that the license are added under the installed licenses tab then you are set.
if it doesnt happen like this for you do as python said uninstall (may be even restart) .install again;delete original sesinetd;copy-paste cracked sesinetd;open terminal or houdini shell terminal in houdini application folder;type chmod operations in reference to sesinetd as shown above.
RESTART;open license admin;go to server information tab;use host name and server code shown here in the keygen;
NB:YOU MAY NEED BOOTCAMP OR VMWARE FUSION OR PARALLELS DESKTOP OR A PC.because the keygen is .exe.
in license admin>file>Manually enter keys
copy paste the serials you got from the keygen.
there is a chance you’ll get an error for lines 2 to 5 that’s okay quit license admin.RESTART. if it isn’t patched redo everything and keep generating keys till they pick (although i haven’t tried the latter).
i sincerely hope my adhoc method helped coz in my case when it gave the error quitting and restarting my machine ..the licenses took.
thanks to python and king for their ideas.
Guys, just find out that the same MAC osx crack works on the last apprentice built 10.0.456.
This version remove the flickering of the screen on macbook pro and there are all the menu on the finder (file edit …)
Great guides!!
Thanks
Here is a more current version of Houdini Master (v10.0.465). This torrent doesn’t contain the keygen, tho, so I assume you just use the one from the previous pkg.
Not sure if my previous post actually happened, so here it is again. Sry for retoast…

0) Please ignore the instructions in the file that comes in the crack directory
1) First, IF you have any older version of houdini, uninstall it. The Versions will conflict with each other. Also uninstall the “sesi” folder (/Library/Preferences/sesi).
Install Houdini 10. But don?t open that yet.
Go to:
/Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin
And put the sesinetd in the trash. It will ask to authenticate, so type your password.
Now you can drop the cracked sesinetd inside the same folder:
It will ask again to authenticate, so type your password one more time.
2) Open up a terminal window (The terminal .app is located in the utilities folder)
type (you don’t have to type out the path to the sesinetd file, you can drag the file into the terminal window)
sudo chmod +w /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin/sesinetd
(press enter) ****Since you are using the “sudo” command it will ask for an admin password****
sudo chmod +r /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin/sesinetd
(enter)
sudo chmod +x /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin/sesinetd
(enter)
****explanation****
When you do those three chmod in the sesinetd, it says to the computer that:
chmod +w (this can be writable)
chmod +r (this can readable)
chmod +x (this can be executable)
3) You need to RESTART your machine at this point. This is very important.
? After the restart….
Empty the trash…
then…
4) Open the License Administrator.app (inside the installed Houdini folder / administrative tools)
Also open the keygen.exe ( h10.exe inside crack folder) (you can use the Darwine app to open .exe files inside mac os x or open it in a pc)
Type your server name and server code. (You can find it at the License Administrator app. ?License server host? and ?License server code? inside the ?Server Information? Tab)
Server name = license server host
server code = Server code
In License Administrator go **File – Manually Enter Keys…**
Enter the keys that you generate in the keygen one at a time
5) Enjoy Houdini (and seed)
Wow, way to copy this right off my torrent on demonoid
step by step
1. uninstall older version and also delete ?sesi? folder (/Library/Preferences/sesi).
2. /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin ………..in this folder delete “sesinetd” and now you can drop

3. Open up a terminal window;
drag the sesinetd file in the terminal window……..
sudo chmod +w /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin/sesinetd ……..press ENTER
****Since you are using the ?sudo? command it will ask for an admin password***********
sudo chmod +r /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/10.0.249.3/Resources/houdini/sbin/sesinetd….press ENTER

Also open the keygen.exe ( h10.exe inside crack folder) (you can use the Darwine app to open .exe files inside mac os x or open it in a pc)
6. Type your server name and server code. (You can find it at the License Administrator app. ?License server host? and ?License server code? inside the ?Server Information? Tab)
Server name = license server host?server code = Server code
7. In License Administrator go **File ? Manually Enter Keys?**?Enter the keys that you generate in the keygen one at a time…….

Trying to install x64 for windows (7) installs fine but every key I generate for the license is invalid, also for some reason I can’t replace the sesinetd file in system 32, says i need permission and that other programs are open using it even though there aren’t and I’m have administrative rights etc. Please help this is rather annoying. For now I’m using non-com but I need the full.
Well I have tried following the instructions posted here and I still cant get this thing to work (I must be doing something wrong). Ok First off I have 10.0.528 Houdini. Next when I install the .dmg file it has 2 options A.)License Server
B.)Apprentice
Which one do I select?
The I follow the Instructions which came it and the ones that are posted (they are the same) and it doesn’t install license info. It does though install the server license temporarily. when you reboot the OSx snow leopard it then dose not see any of it and is now grayed out. Please help!
ok, well I have tried everything following all the instructions and cant get this thang to work… it wont install licenses and I do the reboot can someone please help.
I’ve installed the build 10.0.554 on windows 7(32 bits), and did the all process of coping the crack to windows/system32/ and then started the license server again….i installed the all the key but there stills one of the 3 dots on license server that is red and the info i get is “The license server may not serve licenses”…
what should i do??
Hi
I did try to download Houdini 10 for Win7 64bit but the program doesn’t accept the key from the keygen although I follow the instruction included in the downloaded files.
Does anyone have the instruction for PC, please help me?
