Modeling Broken Planets with VDBs
In this lesson we'll learn how to model these rugged broken planet like objects with VDBs and light and shade them using Redshift!
Water Flower with FLIP & FLOPs Part 02
In this tutorial we'll create our white water simulation, and I'll show you a few different methods of doing it. We'll mesh our flip sim as well as light and texture it in Redshift.
Water Flower with FLIP and FLOPs
we'll go over how to create this watery flower using FLOPs to generate the flower and FLIP to turn it into water!

Easy Flowers with FLOPS
In this tutorial we'll be using the Free FLOPS HDA and exploring the robust features to make an animated flower. You can download FLOPS for free here: https://dannylrsn.gumroad.com/l/msemum

Abstract Viscosity with MPM
Hey Guys! The last tutorial was a guest tutorial made by Tyler Bay from CG Forge for my Patreon page, This one is actually the tutorial that I made for his page! It's super fun, we're going to dive into the MPM solver and I'll show you how easy it is to make really cool stuff without having to know hardly anything at all! Thi...

Hey guys,
this month I decided to do something a little different. Tyler Bay from CGforge.com and I decided to collaborate and do a little trade. So he's made a really fun tutorial for my Patreon here, and next week he'll be releasing the one that I created fo...

Hey guys! Just wanted to share this awesome flower tutorial from Entagma. I think this might be the clearest, easiest to follow tutorial for making flowers that exists, and the best part is that it only uses native Houdini tools, no plug-ins! Check it out when you get a chance!

After 9 months of delivery hell, I finally got my new digital art frame so I can display my animations in my house! It’s super cool to have physical representations of digital stuff. If anyone’s interested, I bought it at museframe.io
I can’t wait to make a bunch of new trippy looping zen-like simulations and anim...

Retiming Animated Redshift Proxies
In this lesson we will create some little animated flowers and bake them out as Redshift proxy sequences. We'll then scatter millions of them across a surface and use a falloff to retime the animations of the flowers.
Distance Based Vellum Inflation
In this lesson we'll take a look at how to inflate or deflate some Vellum balloons based on their distance from one another to create an abstract infinitely looping composition.
Blooming Flowers Part 03
In this installment we'll simulate our petal animation in Vellum and learn how to procedurally texture the flower in Redshift.

Blooming Flowers Part 02
In this lesson we'll learn how to generate a procedural Phylotaxis spiral the easy way using basic nodes and MOPs. We'll then time offset each petal so that they animate in sequence.
Anyone Interested in Tutorials about other aspects of being a 3D designer?
My intention when I started this Patreon was to make tutorials on all aspects of being a motion designer, not just how to make stuff in Houdini. Things like how to properly make a good reel for yourself, how to make storyboards, presenting to clients, how to manage stuff, coming up with ideas, process etc. I was thinking most...

Blooming Flowers Part 01
In this first part we'll learn how to procedurally model a flower petal. Then we'll use Simple Tree to create a rig and animate our petal. (Don't worry if you don't have Simple Tree, I show other methods as well.)
Sharing my new 2025 Reel
Hey guys! Just wanted to share the latest and greatest of all my work here! Maybe you'll find some inspiration from it! Of course I will continue to be making tutorials and showing how I did most of the stuff you see in this reel. Thanks for your continued support!

Grass & Moss Growth FX Part 03
We'll create a grass growth effect that's fully dynamic in Vellum and use some colliders with it.
