Today we’re covering two topics in Copernicus, that are long overdue: Cellular Automata and OpenCL. CAs because they’re a classic Entagma topic and now we actually have a way in Houdini to actually build and display them directly, without the use of 2D volumes or points. And OpenCL because it’s by far the fastest code for processing pixels, we can write in Houdini and it’s also the backbone for pretty much all of Copernicus.
