I’ve started collecting old personally written tools & plugins. My plan is to sell them at small prices at various websites, the first ones being my own website paleopixels.com and cgplugins.com :
Houdini learning – Update 6
Again, an update on my quest to master Houdini. This time the focus will be on dynamics with flip fluids in an active volcano.
New project : Houdini learning
I’ve updated the projects page with a section for my Houdini experiments. Besides that, I made a summary video of my first adventures in this 3D package :
Projects update
For the rigtool project @ Hans Boodt Mannequins I’ve added a summary video.
Besides that I added a new project : the reshaping of an Europasaurus skull
Houdini learning – Update 4
More Houdini, again :).
This time the roads are projected onto a landscape, while remaining without banking. The banking will be later controlled by the user (instead of the landscape (as a normal projection would do)). Besides this there’s also abit of control in how the track cuts itself into the landscape.
Next up are grass and asphalt strokes next to the main roads, fences&walls, projected materials and plants.
Houdini learning – Update 3 (more booleans)
I think my toolset is more or less complete; the big thing what was missing is now working : booleans on meshes without thickness. I hope to get a proof of concept tool ready at the end of the month, after that it’s learning FX& destruction in Houdini 😀
Houdini learning – Update 2 (booleans)
I threw together a node where you can pretty much connect any polygon mesh together into a 1 clean model. Pretty cool, I’m going to use it for my racetrack tool.
Houdini learning – Update
A small update on my learning this program…I’ve been busy trying to create a race track/landscape generator with a basic set of user inputs as the start, Houdini takes care of the rest. These images show one track that cuts itself out of a landscape, one of the basic functionalities. Stay tuned for more updates!
Wildlands Adventure Zoo Emmen
After 2 years, thousands lines of code, over 2000 rocks and over 10000 drawings : my part is mostly done for Wildlands Adventure Zoo Emmen. Good luck to the rest of the team and a big thank you !
Houdini
I picked up learning Houdini again as a side project. Later this month I’ll update this blog with my new project, in the meantime here are the videos from the last time I worked with this amazing programm :
