Tue, 09 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://pixelprotest.com/blog/typing/https://pixelprotest.com/blog/typing/I've always really enjoyed writing dynamic python, but recently started wondering whether I'm missing a trick and if there were any benefits to be found by type checking my own projects?

From basic sculpts it resulted into these speed-modeling videos doing largely mechanical models using the ZModeler 'brush'. https://pixelprotest.com/projects/houdini-nodes/https://pixelprotest.com/projects/houdini-nodes/Created these Houdini nodes, as part of researching Houdini and its procedural workflows. One allows the user to render directly to Twitter from their ROP network. Another set of nodes help to quickly set up HDR rendering scenes for Redshift.
