Houdini 12 Education, Animation & 3D/FX

While it is possible to pin the parameters pane, it may be an overkill - after all, all you want is just that single control, say for rotation. Luckily, Houdini allows you to drag any control from the parameters pane onto the 3D View, to create HUD Slider (Heads-Up Display). To illustrate the technique, let's create a box, using the shelf tool. To make the "Rotate" parameter easily accessible, even after you remove selection from our object, drag the parameter name (Rotate) onto the3D viewport.

If you choose a single-value parameter (e.g. The HUD Slider might not be active- in such case you are probably with the View tool activated. To resize the slider, use the white square located on the right-hand-side wall of the slider. You can adjust detailed properties of the slider via the context menu, accessible by right-clicking on the slider. Free Course. The combination of Houdini, Substance Designer, and Unity creates a very powerful, non-destructive, pipeline that gives game designers and artists the freedom to be creative.

I am able to tweak further Jeff's scene to get more details in sim. But let me first answer your questions. 1.At what scale should i sim with respect to world scale …. It is a very difficult question to answer, people say do this, do that but my personal opinion, whatever works for you, gives you right scale in final render, sim at optimal level on your hardware and setup (very imp), gives you dynamics you are looking for. Photorealistic water.

Hey Many times when doing fluid effects, people chase after large numbers, when in many cases its just variation's of frequencies that are important. the only thing I'd avoid is trying to get "too much" of the same thing into your sim, we found that in most water shots, spaces are are just as important as the sim itself, so looking at the you posted, you can see the stratification in sim, which comes from the emission criteria.

Lost Place. Lost Place is a German-based film that tells the story of four high school students who stumbled upon a top secret Cold War military facility hidden deep within the Palatinate Forest of Southwestern Germany.

Lost Place

Robert Zeltsch is a freelance 3D artist and experienced Houdini user who was brought into this project as a VFX Supervisor through the German studio MovieBrats Films and Animation. His challenge was to generate the VFX shots needed for this film using a small, primarily compositing oriented team and with a limited available budget and technical resources such as a substantial render farm. For the purpose of this feature Robert has produced a set of four breakdown videos that explain in great detail the Houdini tools and techniques he employed in order generate key VFX shots for the film, including a set of circular volumetric clouds and an elaborate piece of lab equipment outfitted with a Tesla coil. FLIP Fluids. Introduction to FLIP FluidsPublished: October 5, 2010 for Houdini 11 Introduced in the latest Houdini version is a set of new fluid tools to work with FLIP fluids (Fluid-Implicit Particles).

FLIP Fluids

This type of fluid provides a useful hybrid of the volume based and SPH based fluid simulators. Topics include: Setting up FLIP fluids with shelf toolsComparison of the three fluid types, Volume, SPH, and FLIP.Technical details of how all three are built from the same microsolversHow to mix the FLIP solution with POPs to get Total Artistic Control.

Instructor: Jeff Lait is a Senior Mathematician at Side Effects Software where he has spent the last ten years working on areas ranging from Geometry Operators to RBD to Fluid Simulations.

Creating Digital AssetsPublished: Feb 14, 2014 for Houdini 13 This lesson is a good introduction to learning how to assetize Houdini networks which is essential for the Technical Director or those using Houdini to create Digital Assets for Houdini Engine.

Creating Digital Assets

Broken into two, one hour sessions, this lesson gives you an in-depth look at the different aspects of building assets interactively. Using an existing node network that is ready to be converted into a digital asset you will identify parameters that can be promoted to build the asset’s artist-friendly user interface. Once a digital asset is created, you will learn a couple of different methods to link to icons and embed them. You will then create parameters from scratch that are not in the network, and learn how to create range values and default values.
