houdini support - distributed fliud sims

[cam]

Hi support,

The qube site lists Houdini support - great! Do you also support the new distributed fluid sims? It is a really cool new feature that lets you slice up fluids.

blurb.........

"Studios and boutiques can integrate these distributed fluid sims using existing pipeline tools, or work with HQueue a new python-based job manager which can also distribute Mantra renderings. HQueue jobs can be launched using a Houdini output node and then monitored using HQueue

We have not yet added any specific distributed fluid support with Houdini, though we do have many interfaces for Houdini that should provide the flexibility to do so (hrender, hython, mantra, hscript).  If there are any specific fields or tweaks that you see should be done to provide streamlined support for this features, please send it over to us.  We can be reached via this forum or directly at support <at> pipelinefx <dot> com.
