Karma Render - Tutorials

Hello everyone! As you know I've been exploring Karma to use on my tutorials so you won't need redshift to complete the projects.

While learning this new powerful engine I've come across this official tutorial series on Houdini platform. I thought they could help you too! Really well explained!

Houdini Tutorial: Combat/dance Magic FX

Hello everyone!
In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to create a magic effect following some combat moves. This process will show you how to use the knowledge you already have from previous tutorials to create a complex animation by combining different skills. In the end, we will use Karma Render again within Houdini to render our visual effect!

We are taking simple steps towards creating complex visual effects shots you see in superhero movies or game cinematics.

Houdini Tutorial: Organic Cells (2D Animation with Pyro)

Hello everyone.

In this tutorial was requested by some of my followers and Patrons. I posted these studies on Instagram while exploring some possibilities of pyro simulations. Really enjoy the organic look of these studies, so I decided to post and share them with the community.

Now let's explore how I made this and how easy it is to achieve this type of 2D animation.

Hope you enjoy this one!

Houdini Tutorial: Magic Power & Karma Render

Hi everyone! 

In this tutorial, we will create a magic pulsing effect and see the difference between a basic pyro simulation and an advanced one. 

After making our magic visual effect, we will learn the basics of stage and karma render within Houdini.


Ps: I got a new microphone, so I apologize for the sound, sometimes it varies the volume, still trying to figure out the best spot to put it. 

Karma Render

Hello everyone! Last few weeks, I've been exploring new ways to improve our VFX and how to render with Karma.

Many artists don't have redshift and always ask how to render our projects within Houdini without external engines/plugins.

I will always try to render upcoming projects/tutorials with Karma!

One other thing, I'm changing my way of making tutorials. Will be more focus on creating more complex effects instead of quick, easy ones. Of course, I wil...

Houdini Tutorial - Liquid Stick to Surface Trick

Hi everyone!  In this tutorial, we will explore a nice little trick to optimize a fluid simulation along the surface of an object. 

As you know, fluid simulations can be slow and heavy to process, so any little strategy we can optimize will boost the speed and quality of the visual effect.

Hope you enjoy this little trick and helps you with your VFX!

Houdini Tutorial: Liquid Motion

Hi everyone! 

In this tutorial, we will explore how to create custom velocities like curl forces, vortex and attraction based on a geometry and apply those to a fluid simulation.  

This way, you can control better your fluid simulations and give them the flow you need for your project. 

hope you enjoy this one!

Houdini 19.5 Tutorial: Melting Goo (Viscosity Fluid sim)

Hi everyone!

So in the new Houdini 19.5 we can play with fluid simulation on SOP level. That's pretty awesome because we can apply knowledge from vellum and pyro to fluids. So now, making rivers, collisions, and mixing different fluids is much easier with just a few nodes.  In this tutorial, we will start with the basics, transform a sphere into a liquid with different viscosity, and let it splash and melt as ice cream. 

Hope you enjoy this one, and let's have some fun!<...

New Content

Hello everyone, as I mentioned before, I'm learning new game dev/art skills and would love to adapt my tutorials to share my experience and knowledge.

I'm running a poll on Instagram but want to know from my Patrons too because you will have more "weight" in the decision. 

Let me know in which area you are more interested! We will keep exploring these new skills with Houdini whenever possible.

Houdini Tutorial: Nebula Part 3

Hi everyone!

This is the third and final part of nebula tutorials! In this one, we will see how I do the camera and lighting in Houdini and post-production in after effects. This last part of the process is more of art direct and your artistic taste, but I want to share my steps on how to make my final videos.

Hope you enjoy this series.

Patreon Updates

Hello everyone,
I'm making this post to let you know about the upcoming content.

Last few months, as you may know, I've been working in the nft industry, developing a game, Senzu World, and a pfp collection called No Nos.

My partners and I started a new company called Treemaru Studio too.

About Patreon and educational content:
I will slow down the Houdini content since I'm not working that much with it now. I'm going to take courses about real-time VFX and unreal e...

Houdini Tutorial: Nebula Part 2

Hi everyone! 

This is the second part of Nebula series tutorial. In the first part, we learn how to create an abstract nebula, and in this one, we will learn how to shape a nebula the way we want by using pyro simulations. 

In the third part, we will cover how to light the scene, render the nebula with redshift and how I do post-process in after effects. 

Hope you enjoy this series, let's have some fun with volumes, particles, and a lot of noise!

New Tutorial

Hey everyone! 

Sorry I have been a bit offline these past weeks! 

I just want to put you updated. I'm finishing the second and third parts of the nebula tutorial.

I will record them during this week and release them on Patreon and all package on Retrieve.

We are going to create this last nebula you see in the video, but the knowledge will allow you to make any shape of nebulas like the ones on my Mindfulness Collection;

Houdini Tutorial - Nebula Part 1

Hi everyone! 

Many of you were asking for a detailed tutorial about my nebula artworks. 

I've been preparing this, and we will cover how to do nebulas in Houdini, and of course, keep it simple and easy to learn for everyone, from beginner to advanced users. 

We will divide this into three tutorials. In the first part, create an abstract nebula with simple vop nodes. In the second part, we will learn how to add detail and custom forms to our nebulas, and in the...

Houdini Tutorial: Firebending (Volume Deform)

Hi everyone! Finally got some time to keep playing with the new pyro nodes of Houdini 19. 

As a fan of Avatar series, we are going to create some firebending!  

With a quick setup, we will explore new things within the volume nodes like adding noises, quickly creating a setup to render in mantra, and doing some firebending to create a tornado and then a little spiral fire simulation. 

Hope you enjoy this one and have fun firebending!

Happy Chr...

Houdini 19: Pyro - Fire Power Up and Shockwave

Hi everyone!

Houdini 19 is out, and I've been exploring the new pyro effects and the systems already created from shelf tools.

It took me a bit of time to test everything and pyro sim on my computer takes longer to cache but finally I did it. 

It is so cool that you can create something complex with just a few clicks and tweaks.

In this tutorial, we will create a complex magic fire aura and power up, as you see in hero movies. In the end, we will see how you can r...

New Way to Learn Houdini!

These last weeks, I've been working with a new platform to improve our content. Make it more accessible to everyone. 

Of course, it is essential to keep releasing new tutorials and projects, but updating the old ones and making knowledge more accessible to everyone is very important. 

Some people are not comfortable with English, and as you know, since the beginning of this year, I've been trying to get a solution to this issue. 

Fortunately, I've f...

Houdini Tutorial: Cloth Wave (Windows 11 Theme)

Hi everyone! The other day I was scrolling on Instagram looking at other artists' works and saw an image from the new windows 11. I looked for the trailer to see that cloth image in motion and damn that was beautiful. So I decided to try and create something similar with a simple houdini system.  Hope you enjoy this one.

Houdini Tutorial: POP Neural

Hi everyone! 

In this tutorial, we are going to create an abstract neural network with a simple node system!  

As you know, I always try to create complex systems in the easiest way possible to show you that Houdini is easy and for you to feel more comfortable with this fantastic software.  

Hope you enjoy this Houdini and Redshift tutorial, and let's get neural!

Senzu Seeds - Gamified NFT Collection

Hello everyone!
These past weeks I've been super busy developing my biggest project that I've done until now! 

I've combined my skills of Houdini and Developer and created this project called Senzu Seeds, a gamified nft collection where you plant virtual trees and reforest actual habitats.

I'm sharing with you all to show one more product that you can use Houdini.

Here is the website in case you want to learn more about it:

Houdini Tutorial: Vellum Ball Pop with Jelly

Hi everyone! 

In this tutorial, we will revisit what we have learned from the previous one.  We will build the vellum solver from scratch once again and mix different types of vellum like cloth and jelly, and this time, we will make the cloth tear. 

 I've decided to do a tutorial covering this again with a different effect because this is an excellent way to learn a new skill, repeat, and try new things.  

I hope you enjoy this new tutorial and feel ...

Houdini Tutorial: Vellum Shoot Jelly Balls

Hi everyone! 

In this tutorial, we will learn to build a Vellum solver from scratch. By learning how to do it, you will see how easy it is, and it will open so many possibilities to do complex systems that would be more difficult to do before. It will allow us to add different vellum types like cloth mixed with grains, create constraints, update them during the simulation, and make different types of vellum interact between them. 

Trust me, creating this vellum system fr...
