I've watched those tutorial videos as well. They blew my mind.
Just speaking about Houdini makes me want to pick it up again.
I found that the complexity lied in knowing all the different nodes, the jargon, and of course when to use what (which comes with experience).
After a month or so I bailed out because of time constraints, my daily job, and other side projects.
- agumonkey 14y agoMay I asked what is your job ? If you're a programmer does it affect the way you think about things ? I was highly infected by such programs (Maya hypergraph, SekD Samplitude non destructive virtual tracks; all share this lazy composition of generic nodes) before entering a computer cursus and it shapes everything I do ever since. And since few people experienced that level of generative-ness, I often look like a fool.
- kitsune_ 14y agoI'm a programmer. Dataflow programming is of interest to me and I'm currently trying to put reactive programming into practical use. I think in a way all those roads lead to functional programming. Of course, in an enterprise world most people's eyes glaze over when you mention any of this. To answer your question, I do think it influenced my thinking and made me a better programmer. Even at work, where I mainly program in C#. I'm in general not that big a fan of visual programming and prefer text myself.
