• UI framework with C++ simulation.

  Have you come across openFrameworks (https://openframeworks.cc/) or Cinder (https://libcinder.org/)? Source: about 1 year ago

• SDL, SFML, other libraries for game development in C++...?

  I only used SFML, currently making a 2D isometric game. I really like it so far overall, easy to use IMO, pretty well documented. Does what I need it to do. Heard good things about SDL2 and also Cinder++ (https://libcinder.org/) also. Source: over 1 year ago

• GUI Tips C++

  What kind of game? You might be better off using a game engine unless it's more of a simple starter project. Check out https://libcinder.org/ or see lots of engines here: https://github.com/collections/game-engines. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Something like p5.js but for C++

  Try Cinder (https://libcinder.org/). I have not tried it myself but it seems to have the same goals as P5 and Processing (ie. Creative coding). Source: about 2 years ago

• How the Cinder JIT’s inliner works

  Kind of a shorty thing for Meta to do when Cinder is already taken by https://libcinder.org. Source: about 2 years ago

• Book or courses recomendations?

  Otherwise, Unity (3D) has tutorials for Unity, Houdini (vfx) has tutorials on their site (sidefx.com). Blender (3D) has a good community on reddit. For 2D animation the book "The Animator’s Survival Kit" is a common book people read in this reddit. Also lots of youtube tutorials. Search for whatever you want to learn ("how to paint grass in photoshop", "how to use animation in Blender", "how to animate... Source: over 1 year ago

• Coming from Cinema4D + octane

  Houdini is (a little) hard to learn, so the best you can do is focus on one area at the same time: Modeling, Vellum, Fluids, Particles, KineFx ... You can find a lot of free tutorials on sidefx.com. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Newbie question: Which software would I use to create the interactive, animated 3D model project I have in mind?

  It sounds like you would need a lot of procedural geometry, which is done best with Houdini. But it does not do interactive web. Source: about 2 years ago

• Unable to Start Houdini - License Server Issue?

  I also checked my license status from sidefx.com and it said everything was correct, but of course now I cant even login to the website and it just throws me a 500 Error Code when I login, asking me to login again. Ive emailed support but figured I might check here too while I'm at it. Source: about 3 years ago
