Houdini Anemone - final post

So here's the final version of the anemone flipbook - and dunno if we're gonna use the disclaimer on those - that might be updated to just the intro - or a simpler, short-into, well, we'll see. :D

Intro/outro music

So time for you guys to be producers. :D I want a song for the intro/outro and either i keep the one Maxime used in this first setup, or I use some other song - and here I'd love suggestions, you can check www.jamendo.com, www.artlist.io, or any other place where I can license a song - or ill just use new music for each release...

Recursive Box Fracturing Breakdown

So... It has taken some time but here's the first video with the new look and feel created by my new production manager, Maxime Rouleau-Villeneuve.

As I haven't posted anything openly for a month, I excluded this from the one week exclusive for you on the $3 tier - hope that's ok for this time. :D

But going forward...

Update on the graphics, site and inventory

So my new graphics, intro, outro, credits, etc, are getting close to finished, so hopefully we'll get the last two breakdown I have recorded posted, as well as publishing the last two flipbook openly...

But I'm still looking for someone to do my website (and another site for an upcoming project) but as soon as I have that...

Twine wrap setup

So I've posted similar setups to this before, but this was a spinoff from an upcoming pighead dollar bill wrap setup that I'm just not happy with yet, but I will hopefully get that out in the days to come as well.

Weave/knit setup

So I don't think I posted this gif before but as I just been stuck in production and haven't been able to post anything, I feel I at least have to tease you with some upcoming stuff. So I will finish and share the pighead money wrap first, but after that, this is one of the setups I'd love to clean up and post... I just love the...

Recursive Box Splitting

Pretty straight forward setup on how to do recursive splitting in Houdini. :D

Magnetic fields setup

Just a setup derived from some RnD on magnetic field lines.

Quick Tip: Spiral from any curve

Just a simple way to create a spiral from any curve.

Scene file: www.bit.ly/ff_qt_spiral_from_any_curve

This is Sparta - and we have new tiers! :D

So just now, as I'm uploading a re-record of my drooping wires quick tip, I passed 300 patrons - wow, that's amazing! :D

And I have been trying for a week to record a video update with the city as a backdrop but I've had issues with wind and trying to record in direct sunlight to get decent exposure of me and the city at the s...

Quicktip: Slacking Wires/Vines

So here's another quick tip on a simple trick I use pretty often and hopefully someone will have use of it. :D

Random rotations

So, this is the first of a new series of tutorials and quicktips from yours truly. I'm also getting back into doing breakdowns and hoping to have the first one out within a couple of days. :)

Ripple solver driving RBD and FLIP

So I had a lot of people ask me to share the setup with the FLIP sim I posted back when I posted the original video/scene file, and it took a while, but here it is. Enjoy. :D

Surface Cracks RnD

A couple of different variants on doing surface cracks, one driven by growth, one for recursive fracturing, etc...

Smoke swirls

So I got a question how to do this kinda thing, and this is how...

And I posted this openly I already posted 2 Houdini scene files here the last couple of days. :)

Super simple space colonization setup

I created this for a guy on Twitter yesterday, one of those 5 minute setups I do just to demo a concept - it's often less hassle than trying to explain how to do it - but thought I'd post it here just to have it here as well. Super simple setup using the tetrahedralize- and find shortest path SOP :D

Butterfly dissolve

Funny story... The last file, the dancing guy dissolve thingie, the guy who asked for how to do that, I thought he had an animated butterfly he wanted to dissolve - eh, no - he wanted to dissolve something into butterflies... Oops. :D

But that sounded like fun and as I had time between other things I thought I'd set it ...

Updated dust/ash dissolve

Wow, so I got a lot of questions on this one... :D

* Can you combine this with actual particles?

Yes, I updated the file with an example of that, emitting particles from the edges of the extrude as the flakes shrink.

 * Is he nude?

No, he's obviously wearing some kind of shoes. I also suspect he's been ...

Animated dust / ash dissolve

Animated variant of the dust / ash effect. :)

Grain based paint flaking

So this was something I played around with doing the water balloon setup but I never got around to post it. Seeing the two last scenes I felt it fitting, from shattering to ash to paint flakes. Pretty basic stuff as usual, but a great foundation to build upon for this type of effect. :)

Simple dissolve setup

Now, I know what most of you want to comment but seriously, I don't want to go ...eh... there, so don't ruin it for others. Just sayin' :D

That being said - basically a 15 minute setup, as simple as you can do this effect, but effective enough and a great start for doing this kinda thing. :)

The stashed" scene fil...

Ripple driving RBD shattering

So I played around with this way back but I never came around to create a scene file out of it. I was reminded of the idea the other day and I thought it would be a fitting scene file to share. And yeah, you could do something way more fun with this, like shockways from dropping something on a surface and have fl...

Group every other edge row

So Simon Fiedler asked about this on Twitter and I fought it for a while before I found the setedgegroup() function... :D
