VFXArabia post Houdini Helix (vex) from patreon

Well coming from 3ds max it really bugged me that there is no helix shape in Houdini till I thought of going back lol. But wait it's Houdini and you can do magic there, so I thought of creating it from scratch and make it even better ;)

Volume Displacement (Vex)

VFXArabia post Volume Displacement (Vex) from patreon

An attempt to compare vex vs vops which is faster in terms of manipulating voxels thinking that vex would win, but surprisingly vops is a slightly faster 2%.

Cheers.

I normally use polyframe for this but in some extreme conditions it fails, specially at harsh corners and some times it flips the normals since we cant specify an up vector. That urged me to create a small handy tool to solve those issues, you just needs to specify an up vector (perpendicular to your shape plane) and to flip ...

It has two modes:

1- Offsetting the animation based on its distance from a helper.

2- Manually input the start time.

Both options has a random spinne...
