We recommend LibHunt Processing for discovery and comparisons of trending Processing projects.
Processing HoudiniBased on our record, Processing seems to be a lot more popular than Houdini. While we know about 340 links to Processing, we've tracked only 4 mentions of Houdini. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
You can learn more about the Processing software and community at processing.org, or visit the Processing4 repository, Processing website repository, and our roadmap. - Source: dev.to / 29 days ago
>web dev/gradle/java knowledge to build something like this Web dev (and not just in java) is dominated by "component integration" concerns, containing lots of structure but little content. Computation is delegated to libraries, and the problems more about complexity of integration (at build time) scaled distributed systems (at runtime). In contrast, writing a simulation is computationally intensive, so... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

This is a nice comment and speaks to the notion that every medium has its own characteristic feel even is not "better" by some metric (e.g. Vinyl vs CDs, vs cassettes, vs live radio, vs mp3, etc.). A similar feeling of immediacy without any intervening concerns is hacking away at a Processing [https://processing.org/] sketch. In some sense it's the complete opposite of retro computing, but it engenders similar... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
In high school the first languages and tools I remember using were things like Turing, Processing, GreenFoot and BlueJ. All of which were learning tools, and with the exception of Turing, were Java abstractions with the main focus on graphical programming. These tools allowed me to do some pretty cool things, very quickly. These early experience are really what inspired my interest. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
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 2 years ago
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 3 years ago
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 3 years ago
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 4 years ago
