This is epic i just hope they will fix the direct3d issues.
Thank you. I believe the D3D issue you’re referring to is lack of support for DX9. We recently learned that at least DX11 is required to run Lucid, so anything below that is not supported.
This is impressive stuff. The developer is awesome. It’s just a weird situation, because I have been moving from Max to Houdini Indie, and even as cool as this is it amounts to paying $50 more than my Indie license to add a small piece of Houdini’s physics/fluids capabilities to Max 2018. I don’t want to diminish the achievement of the creator of this, but now there’s another thing Autodesk can point to when they decide not to add these features to the core.
