@jongranskog Like saying “life is solved”

absolute pet peeve: people saying design or art is solved. it’s ever changing, not a goal that you reach. what is mass producible often becomes uninteresting.

@3Dmattias Really nice!

houdinitime! Got my Topology Optimization tool working for 3D shapes. I really like the results! Some really nice skeletal shapes emerge.

@furafuku Really nice!

The whole structure was based on a combination of two quadromino shapes. Their various geometric transformations (reflection, rotation, etc.) ensured diversity in both form and direction.

Old sketch: morphological closing around rounded rectangles + Dubins path approximation + Voronoi subdivision. I was also experimenting with a 2.5D effect via mesh coloring.

@yone80 Nice!

@jongranskog @sidefx Couldn’t agree more 😊

Houdini feels like home. <3 @sidefx

If you are writing python in unreal you might have noticed that pprint is not that nice to use. If you want to inspect a dict you can use json: print(json.dumps(my_dict, indent=4))

@ysm446 Would be interesting to know more of how you approached it. Always nice to see vex setups! Anyways, nice work!

@ysm446 Nice!

@motionoperators Super helpful, thanks!

Trying to solve an age-old Houdini problem here. Whenever it's done, I'll release the full toolkit for creating self-installing Houdini packages as open source software. Doing my best to keep making Houdini easier!

Starting to take some baby steps with UE Control Rig. I have a small write up here for a super simple start. petfactory.se/notes/ue5-cont…

.@TheoryAcceler It seems like the y & z components of vel and influenceVel fields are switched? (if I set velocity to {0,1,0} it will go in the positive z axis) I am using Axiom 3.3 for Houdini 20.5.332

@xrossfader That and the quick viewport viz of attributes! …and vex… 😊

The power of Houdini does not lie in its ability to humble your lack of understanding it but its full disclosure of the values before you. This is the GOAT of Houdini. The Geo Spreadsheet. :D

I'm a little upset I'm at the "wrote a vscode extension" stage of "just writing a blog post"

@BradeskoUrban DUNE FIRE

Martin Chumillas is a true FX Gentleman. He shared his awesome fire project, inspired by DUNE, created in Houdini. 🔥 Just like and comment " DUNE FIRE " and i'll send you the Project file in your DM's ( it will be an auto DM just so you know ) UB.

@Fifty_5o Good to know, thanks!

@JohanBorgstrom There is a lot of control with the elements you would need to contact June to ask about python

#Fusion #Resolve If anyone was wondering if there was a good plugin for lens flare in Fusion. june3546.gumroad.com/l/OpticalFlare…
