Aaand after 2 days of research around the attaching uvs to the expanding mesh - here it is! In this tutorial you will learn about pyrodynamics - buoyancy and turbulence and how to make them affect only parts of your volume, learn 2 ways of meshing pyrosims and of course I will walk you trough the cool concept of assigning uvs to the growing mesh!
Im stuck with this, i like all the options. Maybe you think about a particular one tho?
Thank you!

Heres some early-early WIP for the next tut! This week we gotta explore some more pyrodynamics and meshing our precious smoke simulations. As well as UV mapping VDBs :)

And here you will find source files (excluding 40gb caches, hmu if you need em tho) for this t-shirt disintegration setup :)

Heyyyyy guys! In this tutorial we will take a look at the interesting disintegration technique, guided by pyro and pops, and also we will take a brief look on UVs in Houdini and some shading techniques :)
Hope youll find it useful!
Love you allll
Nick
Some raw previews from the render :)

Heyyy guys! Last day of the month, but managed to edit this 3rd tutorial this month. Sorry for bad sound, caught a really nasty cold, so I also had to spend 2 hours to cut out all the sneezes. Anyhow, hope youll find it useful and see you next week!
And here are the project files for the latest tutorial :)

Heyyy guys! This time we are diving deeeep into the disintegration world :) Inspired from this awesome piece by Roman Kaelin. This setup consists of multiple parts, which overlayed on top of each other, gives this beautiful multi-layered render!
Hope you guys will like it!
Hey guys! I wanted to promote my Dior Course so i did this setup as a YouTube tutorial while I was baking the RBD sim for the patreon tut. As it will be released today free for everyone, anyhow I wanted to give something for you guys only, so here is the hip file in case you wanna play with it. It is mostly the same setup from Sauvage, but with a bit different reveal.
And here you will find all the resources and .hiplc file :)

Hey guys! In this tutorial we will be creating Vellum Fluid Mixing setup, which is based on distorting the uvs on particle points and transferring them to the mesh :) This cool little setup was inspired from Gabriel Morala and his Houdini Simulations project.
Hey hey hey everyone! Im alive, refreshed and already wanna go home just because of that feeling when you know you are ready to roll another take of hard work haha! Plane back to Latvia is on Friday, will land home early Saturday. Ill be live all day on Monday, so hop on to say hi if you wish, will be doing some Houdini rnd too of course :)
Just wanted to share how great it is to feel refreshed, even if you think you love your work and treat it nearly as a hobby - friendly a...

Hey guys! Here are all the files I have used for the Dior Sauvage project!
Only filecaches are not included so you will need to rebake them, cause otherwise it would make this folder to be around 120gb :D
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/shn1averszmy21g/AACpGcbyxnV1Qe266u8Et5W8a?dl=0
If you still need caches - hit me up, ill send you the link :)
Hey hey hey! I wanted to keep this project beginner friendly but compressing so many different techniques in just 3 videos wasn't the easiest thing haha
PLEASE feel absolutely free to reach out if you have any questions, and if you think that any of these techniques needs a better explanation - let me know and I will record a separated tutorial!
All feedback is greatly appreciated, only knowing what exactly I could do better, I can actually improve :)
Love you all!
YAAAYY!! Finally, so excited to share this project with you! Its my biggest "tutorial" so far, hope you will appreciate all the hard work i put into it and learn a bunch of new stuff!
Be sure to watch Chapter 1 and 2 before watching this one!
P.S. ALL Project files for Multisolver patrons coming tomorrow :)
Just finished this project! Recorded all compositing process for the last chapter. Now to the editing :)
Hey guys!
I am doing animation now and soon will be comping it. Since I wanna show you how you can bring life even to the simple shots in AE, its quite a lot of work so I doubt that I would be able to edit it all this week, the last video (combining chapters 3 and 4) will be next week and we will wrap this project.
Really excited how it comes all together

Hey hey hey! Hope to see all of you at cozyplace discord server, live 4PM GMT this Wednesday (18th of May). Drop your artworks in #artwork-critique and join me :)
Rules: You give constructive critique to everyone, everyone give you a constructive critique about your artwork :)
HEEEEYYY! This one is by far the biggest tutorial I have ever done! There are 6 different techniques, like mini tutorials of the setups I have used to create RnD for our Dior Sauvage project.
Here I cover storyboarding process, I explain why and what I do and the we dive in Houdini and C4D to create some stunning RnDs!
If you feel you need a deeper dive in any of these techniques - let me know, ill be happy to do a separated tut and answer all your questions!
Took some time, but i'm really liking how this turns out :) P.S. dont mind description and slide order haha

Quite a lot of things to do but here is an abstract desert environment made with some noises in Houdini. Part of the Sauvage project, next chapter (next week) will be full of cool rnds and techniques! Stay tuned <3
2022-05-05 11:41:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! Im working on the second chapter of the Full Project Workflow course, join me doing some RnD today :)
Cozyplace discord server, live-tuts channel.
See you there!
Hey hey hey heyyyyyy!
You voted - you got it!
This month we are creating FULL project from absolute scratch. 4 weeks - 4 chapters.
In this, first chapter, I will walk you trough all the crucial steps from the moment when you get an email asking "are you available?" till creating a detailed mood-board which serves as inspiration for your further designs.
Check it out!
And here are the project files for the vellum crumple tutorial! Enjoy!
Hey guys! Lets end this month with this beginner-friendly, but super satisfying vellum crumple tutorial inspired by korb.tv and prepare for the next month which will be SUPER exciting!
Yesterday we had a live talking about what content you guys would love to see next month and majority agreed that I should do a full scale project, documenting and explaining everything from brainstorming ideas till the fully finished animation.
This will be focused on the product, including some advanced rendering, lighting and camera animation techniques. Also will include a few simulations haha :)
Here is a poll for which product we should base our "fake" commercial 3D ...

Hey guys! Lets hop on a brief live on Monday, as its the last week of the month and in I have some ideas for May which I would like to discuss with you, cause you shape the content I do, so its what you choose is what you get haha :D Will be glad to hear all of you to talk trough these ideas and get your feedback on what you would like to see more, how can i do better etc.
