Bryan Holt | Houdini FX

Houdini users have been asking for native 3D object tracking for over a decade. And it's finally here. KeenTools, the team behind GeoTracker for Nuke, Blender, and AE, shipped a Houdini beta this week. And I was able to get my hands on it to test!🧵

No Flippies were harmed in the making of this render.

@MarcPearson74 Survival is always questionable.

@BryanNHolt Ah yes but will he survive or be crumbled to a million pieces? 😂

Flippy makes his glorious return.

The short tips are really being well received! So I would like to continue these as I develop the long (really long) masterclass I am working on. The YouTube Houdini Shorts: youtube.com/playlist?list=… As you can see, been a bit quiet this memorial day weekend. Coupled with the fact that I live not to far from the #gardengrove #orangecounty area here in SoCal been a bit distracted. With that said some videos will go live this week. I am also debating on whether to start a patreon style subscription (It is already built on my website just not enabled) that will allow early access to those who would like to 1) test the new content/courses and 2) get started on their Houdini Journey's ahead of time. It would also come with direct contact to me for 1 on 1 tutoring (English only). The reality is, the time devoted to develop more in-depth content requires a lot of capacity from me that is very hard to give. Since I don't earn any income from what I do here or on YouTube, it can never be my first priority, or second, or even third. The eventual goal is paid courses in FX on bryanholt.media For now I won't launch the subscription based early access, but if there is enough interest I will. The Houdini primer is all but ready to go sans a few things.

36. I love math.

@arvidschneider Agreed

absolute bonkers!

I miss having actual villians in my stories and movies.

Rendering / compositing breakdown レンダリング時間：48時間18分 #Houdini

Have to get rings on it somehow.. if it was a Go Padres burger.. it'd be pretty bland tbh.

@JimmyEFilms Ah okay, the flaring mid left on the screen looks to be abberation/light leak is a bit distracting in this case as I want it to track with your light source mentally. Just a bit distracting. Looks so good though. Your lighting work is so awesome man.

@BryanNHolt Thank you brother! And yup! Pretty much a handheld camera in the jungle POV

DRAKHAL A Dragon Cinematic Made with: Houdini · Nuke · Blender · After Effects

@hectorVFX Oh yeah I am just blown away.

@BryanNHolt and not just the sim, the shading is impecable

Cualquiera que sepa minimamente de fisicas en CGI entiende la absoluta locura que es esto.

@dami_digital @JimmyEFilms Same!

@JimmyEFilms So good, I'd kill to see the Nuke and AE parts of this

What a good clip. Don't miss what they say at the end "Come a long way after these last 2 years" To the young artists out there. It takes a while. Don't give up.

Had a chance to work on some simulations for @theweeknd The Abyss Music Video

Here is another quick Short. I have a library of these I will release slowly over time. But probably my most used VEX line. You will see this used in nearly every operation I do to control simple velocity direction. VEX shouldn't be scary. youtube.com/shorts/MMVM85U…

@Kanizo_CG_VFX Haha

@BryanNHolt nice to meet you😇

Boolean Fractureとかいう神ノードを発見しました #Houdini #3DCG

@Heist_CGI My first shot ever was a tornado.

@BryanNHolt I love tornadoes. That’s a big reason I was interested in Houdini lol. I saw a “ craziest tornados on camera “ video and was hooked. Still learning tho 😭

I am going to need a new harddrive.

@JohnDraisey The written reviews are worrisome though but agreed

@BryanNHolt Rotten tomatoes is trash

Yeah I will wait for the popcorn meter. I trust the tomatometer about as far as I can throw a Bantha. Keep in mind, the Rotten Tomatoes had the Last Jedi as like 97% certified fresh leading up to its release...
