Houdini Tutorial: Vellum Sticky Gum

Hi everyone!  

In this tutorial, we will keep exploring vellum grains! We will explore a little bit further the glue constraints, and we will add and update other constraints during the simulation because, so far, we have studied only using constraints before the vellum solver. Now we will see how to create and update them during the simulation. It will be cool. In the end, we will learn to break those constraints with custom attributes. 

I hope you enjoy this one!

Houdini Tutorial: Abstract Flower

Hi everyone!  

In this tutorial, I will show you how to animate your geometry and convert it to vellum and let it simulate as cloth but follow the original animation. 

In the second part, I want to take things to another level and show you how to create something more advanced.  I'm going to explain the concept behind "for each loop," and I will explain in a way that everyone will understand how simple this is, even if you don't have any knowledge of programming. &n...

Houdini Tutorial: Vellum Soft Pin

Hi everyone!  In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to soft pin vellum geometry. I am going to be honest with you. I do not know how to call this technique exactly. I saw a work exploring this effect on social media, and I decided to give it a shot with Vellum. It is like a soft body is deforming and going back to its original position. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and have fun playing with this vellum constraint!

Houdini Tutorial: Simulate Different Vellums

Hi everyone!  In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to simulate different types of vellum altogether. For example, soft bodies colliding and tearing cloth or vellum balloons inside soft bodies rolling down a hill.  In the end, we will see how to render these spheres with redshift.  Hope you enjoy this fun tutorial!
