Particles Part 01 Addendum - Shading in RS
Added 2019-03-28 12:53:28 +0000 UTCHere's a walk-through of the Part 01 particle scenes render setup. It's done in RS but a Mantra setup would look quite similar. This video explains how to genereate geometry for the particles on rendertime and how to setup shaders for the particles and the objects. All the materials are driven by the color values set on SOP level.
The HDR I used can be downloaded here: http://www.hdrlabs.com/sibl/archive.html

Are you using the latest redshift version? Cheers, Mo

2019-05-05 03:19:46 +0000 UTCHi, thanks for this tut. Do you know why I cannot see my hdri image from rs-lightdome in the viewport? Not available on Houdini 16.5? Or I missed some setup? I could see this hdr image in the viewport from sidefx envlight.

2019-05-04 18:25:53 +0000 UTCHi Manuel! I´m a struggling beginner in Houdini :) Your tutorials and work are great inspiration and motivation. I haven't been able to recreate your RS material setup with mantra. I would be forever grateful if you or anybody else for that matter, could share a more detailed explanation.

2019-04-25 18:04:38 +0000 UTCIt would be so great to have that in Houdini even with paid plugin/hda !

2019-04-03 06:36:13 +0000 UTCHi Hoang, unfortunately Pre-flight is your best bet in Hou. The texture manager from C4D was initially our idea at Aixsponza, so maybe I can come up with something in the same direction for Houdini in the future. Should be possible with python. But it'll be a lot of work.

2019-04-02 18:41:56 +0000 UTCHi Manu, one question about RS in Houdini or Houdini itself. Have Sidefx included something like Assest Manager in C4D so it would be easy to relink multiple textures ? I did try Pre-flight but it's not really a good solution atm.

2019-04-02 15:58:42 +0000 UTCcan we get a mantra setup file just to quickly walk through all the equivalent you did in RS? thank you very much!
