Now might be as good a time as any to revive this thread and ask the question:
does anyone have some new/more exciting ideas for community ICE Projects?

Well, after Houdini 12 came out, I d/l about 5 gigs worth of training videos on Houdini. A couple of them are nice production scenarios. I've begun creating tutorials on how to do those effects in ICE. That might be of some interest to the community. I was just gonna upload them under "ICE Tutorials".

I finished converting this to Softimage ICE the other day:



After watching this video, you really appreciate how ICE was implemented in Softimage. Granted, its not as low-level as Houdini - but some things are just super simple to do in comparison.

Do you have the links for the Houdini training? I'd like to watch some.

Yeah, the majority of them are right there on their site. Plus, they announced a new online training course you can sign up for that's starting this month I believe.

This is the free online training course they just announced:
Houdini Apprentice - First Steps

Then if you goto the SideFX website and click on "Learning" in the top nav menu, you'll get a whole bunch of training videos you can download. You got official training videos, user generated, and master classes.

Edit: There is also some YouTube and Vimeo groups that have a ton of tutorials also (like the one is this post). If you want to grab Vimeo content, you need the public URL, not the secure (logged into Vimeo) one. Anyway, I stopped @ 5 gigs worth of content, that was more than enough.

Alright, thank you!

TwinSnakes007: Thanks for that video, very helpfull ideend

Ps: Any consistent/simple way to get rid of all RTF code? seems that ICE lacks many useful String nodes
