Cloth properties will be addressed in depth. Particle and matrix operations will also be explored.Ĭlass 6: Cloth basics. We'll use various wire attributes to create a falling leaf system. Various logic and operations with geometry and deformation will be covered.Ĭlass 5: Wire Forest part 4.
#FXPHD HOUDINI SKIN#
In this course we will create a skin system using wires to deform tree meshes.
#FXPHD HOUDINI HOW TO#
Best practices of wire simulation will be covered, as well as how to make use of rigid body dynamics objects as colliders.Ĭlass 4: Wire Forest part 3. Here we will go through the bulk of the wire simulation process. We will build a system to rig the tree using geometry operations.Ĭlass 3: Wire Forest part 2. In the first project of the course, we will use wires to simulate interaction with a forest as in "Jack the Giant Slayer." This will start with a tree and wire mesh. Various FX uses for cloth will also be discussed.Ĭlass 2: Wire Forest part 1. This class will go through wire simulation fundamentals including transform matrix and attribute manipulation. He's also an experienced Houdini educator and author, and has developed many different methodologies for effectively teaching Houdini to both students and professionals.Ĭlass 1: Wire basics.

He's a perpetual generalist and his background includes music and mixing, compositing and video editing, and every generalist skill set in the vfx business always taking on the hardest and weirdest FX tasks in production.

Fundamental Houdini workflows such as attributes, transform matrix manipulation, and basic rbd and particle destruction will be enhanced with Houdini's simple and robust wire system as well as it's new, fast and very powerful cloth system.Īndrew Lowell is a Houdini FX artist on numerous films, spanning several years, countries, and studios. Through this course, we will explore FX relevant wire and cloth scenarios such as simulating trees, flags, and a complex metal destruction setup. These workflows can both augment existing destruction workflows as well as enable the Houdini artist to take on many fun and out of the ordinary challenges. This course will show how wire and cloth simulation can add more realism in many situations involving non-character FX tasks. Wire and cloth simulation are very often underutilized in classic FX work, and often considered mainly for character FX such as hair and clothing. The highly popular rigid body solutions and fluid/pyro simulation is relied on in many vfx studios FX pipelines.
