Houdini Workstation | 2990WX 32 Core
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- I've been building a workstation for our new team member and decided to transform my old render master into #Houdini powerhouse. With #Threadripper #2990WX I achieved my goal and am quite satisfied with the results. This is by far the most expensive CPU I ever bought but I think it's totally worth it in a long run.

Just for a second there I thought the first scene was full CG... 😅
Me too😄
lolz, i tho im the only 1 ;D, but i replayed it and actually no ;D
@@oskarpolicinski9502 yeah definitely not haha.. but when watching on a phone with screen reflections 😂
@@KevinVandermarliere yea, that explain alot :D
Damn .. yeah
These videos are always so well put together (lighting, camera angles, sound, etc.)
that I'm sure your company must put out top-notch work!
dude your content is so fantastic. You always skip the bullshit and get right into the important stuff and I appreciate that so much as someone who looks at VFX videos a lot. Keep up the great work!
This processor is the best choice for the money at the moment. I’m also working in Houdini everyday and going with Threadripper was the best upgrade I ever made. Now you got very solid base. I would suggest getting 256GB of DDR4 Dimms for that setup and maybe Titan RTX (or two for nvLink) with 24GB of vram to boost smaller iterations with OpenCL before running full sim. Have a great day Andrey and keep up with great content.
Thank you Andrey, i was already sure about the AMD Treatripper, but did not know that it can work so well in conjunction with Houdini, thank you 😊🎬
I went from a 4 thread cpu to 1950x when I got confident Houdini wouldn't defeat me. I haven't stopped crying since. Vex multithreaded. More and more SOPs compilable to be multi-threaded. Even Mantra stops being unusably slow, and still dumps on every renderer on the market in terms of features and customization potential.
Can't wait for Houdini content.
Love from India. It's exactly 4:05 AM here and watching this video.
Wish you luck with the new work flow. (:
Cheers!!
:)
I myself got recently a threadripper 2950x, 128gb ram, and its a monster! Love it!
Glad to see you are using Houdini, that's going to be a beastly PC!!
Damn you are living the life man...In South Africa graphics cards are expensive,your whole setup would basically buy me a car.
Being a Houdini artist myself, I'm watching this on a 6 core intel processor with 32gb ram and a Quadro k1200 build.
_Cries hysterically_ 😭
Bhai ye kitna rich he mtlb different software ke liye different beast!! Yaha pe sala budget me lene jaye to single pc bhi bana ne me musibat hoti he..
It is good seeing these things from an actual professional.
I won't miss your video! you surely are going to hit 1M
Holy focus and holy framing.
Please make Houdini tutorials. Houdini is such a beast so hard to comprehend.
Begin at Sidefx with their masterclasses.Amazing community...Odforce forums will lift you like a prayer
It is dame long, each single one of them.
there's like a gazillion tutorials already out there
@@feiyinwang6169 I have good houdini knowledge.Been using it for 3 years now but I am not doing lots of production.I will share my knowledge for free
@@affectreflect plz do share your knowledge. Make a tutorial on Houdini. 🙏
bro extremely enjoy your videos, freaking luv your vibes and the quality you created, even your pronunciation sound beautiful to my ears !
Жги, Андрей! Как раз озадачился вопросом обновления материнки и процессора после того как купил 2х2080Ti. Спасибо за отличные разборы пайплайнов, конкретных примеров, обзорам софта и железа. Смотрю всегда с интересом. Отличная подача, очень информативно и ничего лишнего! Если буду проездом в Англии, угостил бы пивом! Peace!
Computex is next week, some new amd processors will be out bois!! Time to update my 2600k!!!

Ваша работа меня вдохновила заняться графикой! Создавать красоту из пустоты было всегда моей мечтой!
так и осталось мечтой =)))
hi i am a big big fan of you and i just get always motivation by watching your videos.
Love from mumbai, india
F-YEAH! Does this mean more Houdini videos from you? That would be great!
This is a real badass monster. in africa ( Togo ) we do not have such a machine
even hearing you talking is so pleasing
Super dope PC!!
everytime i see a video of you in my sub box, i get excited!
That is definitely a monster piece of hardware.
I appreciate this video of yours a lot. Thanks!
Now that you have it all put together, we would like to see a run-through.
Loving the content Andrey! Keep it up, you'll be at 1M in no time.
I'm having a blast with my AMD TR4 1950X 16/32 using Corona render & V-Ray & heavy simulations, I wonder what this 2990WX 32/64 can do!
nice choice of software and hardware
Fantastic dream machine 🤪 I’m build treadripper PC to🔥 2950wx, rtx2070, 32 gb ram
I studying now Houdini and Nuke😎
The feeling in this vid, i so cool, that climate doe ^^. And ofc 2990WX is monsterful CPU
Can't wait to see some houdini tutorials
It takes waaaay longer than we wish, but Maxon actually rewrites the code to fully support multicore computations, and they did rewritten the core already, but in each release they focus only on one particular module rework. So it's pretty slow but I hope they'll finally shift it to be on par with Houdini speed wise
I’m ready for it ❤️😄 I’m still using Cinema for 80% of times in our commercial work, so it’s not like I stopped using it. Really looking forward for that to happen
Got the same processor at my workstation !💪💪💪 i recommend it 100%
@Abdullah dont know really, never had 1080ti b4
beast mode 🖤
Can we expect some Houdiny tutorials? For some fracture ,Fluid simulations? :D
That computer is a BEAST
In the future he will, i think he said that in the last video
You went a little game of thrones on us with the lighting, hahahahahahaha I can hardly see anything you are doing in the dark in a black box.
Damn it. Just realised I forgot some fog & smoke 🤦🏻♂️
I actually had the 2990wx and replaced for a 9900k. 2990wx it's an absolute beast for CPU rendering, but for AE and gaming was really poor... In my case, a more multifunciontal CPU was what I was looking for. Having said that, Houdini is going to fly!
Yeah, it's not for gaming for sure. I have 9900k in another workstation. Been quite good in Houdini too ;)
@@AndreyLebrov Good to know! I may go into Houdini someday :) (Maybe the same day you start to make tutorials about it haha)
Nice video Andrey
Keep up the great work!!
I'd love to see some Houdini Tutorials from you!
I was looking for this, thanks.
You are a lucky guy, bro
Best teacher of my life.. :)
As a 3D Artist I could only wish to have a set up like this.
What cases are in the video?
this guy is a beast!
Just incredible PC
Who else waiting for the fireflies jar tutorial
Before watching, 2 things:
1. Thank you so much for making videos. I love your channel.
2. Why didn't you wait for the new Zen 2 line to come? We are just a few days away from AMD releasing their new CPUs.
Needed to do it now )
@@AndreyLebrov I know your feeling, bought a 2700x a month ago )). Thank's for not letting me alone!
amazing vid as usual!
3:09 i switched to houdini bc it's a beast of a program. You dont have to download thrid party plugins in order to get high quality high level fluid dynamics, or rigid body. Everything you need is already in there. Well may have to download another render, but that's it
🔥
Shit... your videos are fucking amazing. SUBBED!!!
Спасибо. Кстати ты и стенд ап комик Виктор Комаров с ТНТ очень похожи.
It's not overkill if the software utilizes the full processor. It's a shame that Cinema 4D doesn't use all cores yet. In Blender we can use all cores for rendering. I'm not sure about for simulations though.
simulation on blender use only 1 core :(
"This threadripper is ridiculously expensive" meanwhile there's a bunch of Mac's in the studio which are way more expensive in terms of price/perf :D
and their absolutely shit. Any VFX artist knows to stay clear of Macs.
@@michaelaforeman3393 More like anyone who understands atleast a bit about computers.
@@ExacoMvm yet I've seen some macfanboys defend the new lines of Macs which can cost up to 30k saying they're worth it. Then you explain that the best vfx programs aren't even utilised for Mac and are built for Linux and pc systems.
They can enjoy their 30k piece of junk working on after effects and premiere pro with budgets under 4 figures. I know several AE artists who've spent so much money on Mac gear and the projects they get have such small budgets and the amount of hours they spend on them, their hourly wage is less than a 14 year old kid working at maccas yet they still somehow justify the excessive Mac spending
@@michaelaforeman3393 Yeah, i guess where Mac makes sense is Music, Editing ( not compositing ) and Design industry, maybe engineering too, as they don't require alot of performance.
But in the end it's still way too overpriced.
Полезно)
Мантрой считаете, я так понимаю?
we always need some pc builds update. Perfect, keep it up. A good content filler that we need.
would like to see a spec list for the new machine
Perfect. Now I'll also turn in. 05:12 here 😁😉
yes #houdini is the best software ever right now! I swith on it! I love houdini so much! Any way, great video! Keep going!
So, NOW I want to see this machine run Houdini in realtime!...
I would love to see more beginner tutorials if possible in cinema 4d?
We offer Cinema 4D tutorials that are great for beginners if you'd like to check them out
Maaaaaaaaan now I need to spend more money I dont have !
Been thinking about threadripper for a while now, that or the 50+ core Epyc . . . . just . . . . funding options leave me looking at, I dunno . . a rotten potato maybe . . .
Love your work, keep it up
EPYCs have really low clock speeds.
the first time i can watch your video without subtitles :D
My listening skill is better? :))))
Nice info
Recently started using houdini, but on my Gaming-Pc with a Ryzen 5 1600... I wish I could buy a beast like that or at least upgrade, but I just don't have the money. :/
I didn't know that houdini uses all cores on a cpu. I didn't know that you have a studio too. Which country do you work in?
Time for Houdini tutorial then!
would you consider Nvidia Quadro graphics cards for rendering, if so please review it.
I LOVE my TR! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the info. #ABigFanFrom Nigeria. Love your Tutorials. looking forward to building a better Workstation to get Busy. Am a newbie Though. #Peace
Great. I just build 2 new render machines with 2990wx and 2080ti but i use vray
Please turn the camera autofocus off hahahaha
great job tho
Awesome ❤
Please what is the minimum ram requirement for Houdini
♥️
Can you make any with money Houdini if you spend a year or two learning by buiding things?
so what's the best specs for high-end Houdini simulations and vfx ?
So... How much was this beast?
Pyro and flip can run on the GPU as well in Houdini
Results are different though. I prefer simulating using CPU. For GPU sims quaddros would be amazing
@@AndreyLebrov yeah, I can only imagine quadros in sli
Team notification from indonesia
Does Houdini 18.5 support multiple GPU. I am using a i7 7740x, a 4 core processor with single 1060 6 gb GPU.
1. Using three GPU for production ( 3d) and Post production (VFX & compositing) is good idea?? I am a specialized compositor but do matchmoving, roto and video editing, color grading also.
And
I have 16gb ram ( 8*2). What is recommended ram for Houdini especially !! Need your opinion.
Why water cooling Bru than Fan ?
Very cool :D Just for the record, your Houdini Beast would also be a great PC for C4D, Octane and Ae... Right?
It would be slower in C4D. Would be great for the rest, yes :)
@@AndreyLebrov Ah, slower because the CPU cores are actually slower in that CPU and C4D uses only one core...?
Correct
Great build. Hope in future u show more houdini, maybe some tips like u do in Cinema4D. By the way can somebody tell me if i learn vfx and need to build my first workstation(to work in PS, AE, C4D(Octane, Vray), and even learn Houdini) on which build should i pay attention to. 9900k+2080+32Gb(3600hz) with the ability to buy one more 2080 in future, is this good? I have seen compare of all GPU in different program and renderer, 2080 and 1080ti have very close perfomance, but 1080ti have more memory. So whats better to spent money on new card with RTX or buy older one with same perfomance and lower price? Thanks.
Nice piece of hardware! Good work! Any 2080 test ? :)
Cool!
Good afternoon Andrey. I watch your videos a lot more now. I want to get into photorealistic animation shorts. Will be okay with the RTX 2090 ti? My motherboard is the z10pe-d8 ws with 2x Intel Xeon E5-2687W V4 CPUS
You remind me of Grigor Andolov from billions by the way you talk.
Очень крутой акцент! Звучит невероятно ритмично и при мелодично.
why two 1080tis? i read that using two cards doesnt improve performance with 3d creation apps, but only in games
You’re reading weird things 🤔 or understanding things weirdly 😄 GPUs performance is scalable linearly as they add on top of each other. This is why I run 20gpus in the render farm for final visuals
:O can you do a video about your Sony camera settings ?? Sick build
I switched to Houdini as well :)
Love from malaysia!!
Полезное видео. Очень частый вопрос: что выбирать "интел" или "АМД". Все четко рассказал. Спасибо
what wold b the best workstation for solid works visualize
what is the brand of the chairs ? i'm looking for a new chair, are those comfortable?
Seconded!
what kind of case are you using
