Hi everyone! Hope you are well and safe!
Recently I've found this blog from Simon Verstraete on Artstation. It has some good tips and tricks in Houdini. I don't know if you already knew this but I'm sharing in case you don't. It is a really good blog to bookmark and check each post ;)
Hope you enjoy it and thanks to Simon!

OMG! I have to try this! One thing I am loving in Unreal was the animation retargeting. Now with the new rig system in Houdini, it is so simple to animate and retarget. Imagine the possibilities!
Can't wait to explore this with a realistic character from Character Creator. For sure going to use this in the story project I'm working on and make some tutorials about it!

Hi everyone! As you requested, here is an advanced particle tutorial divided into 3 parts. We will understand how to use different topics that we covered in the past into a skill effect visual effect, in this case, a Beam Skill like a Kamehameha.
In this first part, we will see how to create the beam effect with simple systems and with the power of point vops, in the second one we will learn how to create the cast animation, this one will be super cool because the same system can ...

Hi everyone! So Houdini 18.5 Launch event happened yesterday. Huge improvements especially in Pyro and Character animation! Gotta try this character system and the new vellum cloth preset! I think the workflow will be even faster now! Can't wait to try it out!
And the new workflow with Unreal... Looks like they are working for our story project (Houdini and Unreal) to run smoothly haha!
What do you guys think about this release?

Hi everyone! For this week's tutorial, we got a tie on your votes. The themes particle and geometry deformation got the same vote number, so I had to think of an interesting and funny way to have particles deforming a geometry. I came up with this idea for generative art, where we have particles controlling the Voronoi and edit our geometry pieces to look more into soft bodies. In the end, it looks like a generative soft body animation without soft bodies. Hope you enjoy this one! ...

Hi everyone! I was watching some videos about Houdini and got this idea of creating a spider web without any vex and with only two nodes. So I had to try it! I liked the result so much that I decided to record this tutorial to share this simple system. Hope you enjoy this one!

Hi everyone! Past few days I've been studying Character Creator and Unreal Engine for realtime render with a photorealistic goal.

Hi everyone! How are you?
Since we have reached the third goal on Patreon, I have been thinking of a big awesome, and innovative video project to do with you. After watching the Unreal Engine 5 trailer, I've been thinking about exploring the area of real-time render and how great it would be to make our type of 3D abstract animation without those long render times! I've been studying for a few weeks, and I'm preparing a short story to do with my Patrons. This project will be done with H...

Hi everyone! This is the second and final part of the Ink in Water Tutorial. On the first one, we have learned how we can create this smooth simulation and render it with redshift. In this second part, we are going to color the ink and add initial custom velocity. Hope you enjoy this final part of Ink in Water tutorial!

Hi everyone! I've been, always, fascinated with this type of ink in water animation. So I decided to try and find a simple way to create this with Houdini. I love so much the result that I want to share with you how to make this ink in water. This will be a tutorial divided into two parts. On this first one, we are going to understand how we can create this smooth simulation and render it with redshift. On the next one, we are going to add custom velocity and mix colors.

Hi everyone! In this quick tutorial video, we are going to learn how to turn a painting into a liquid animation and explore how to mix different types of fluids depending on the color.
This video will be very easy to follow and super fun to explore all the possibilities.
I've got this idea while I was studying the technic of Acrylic Pouring. To summarize, this technic consists of dropping ink with different values of color, density, and viscosity.
So I've got t...

Hi everyone! In this tutorial we are going to learn how to fill an object with liquid. You will see this simples task is not that easy to create, you can't fill an object with a simple fluid emitter. After that we are going to create an object with holes and expel the liquid from inside that object, in our case a 3d Text. In the end we will see how to render our scene with redshift!
Hope you enjoy this one!

Hi everyone! In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to create viscous liquids with air bubbles!
I am going to use this tutorial to explain how do I approach any VFX project and my workflow before jumping to Houdini. I have been getting a few messages asking how do I start my projects and how do I know what to use in Houdini to make the visual effects or animations. So I am going to try and explain the best I can the approach I do for any type of project I need to...

Hi everyone! In this tutorial, we are going to learn how we can render our particle and line animations with Mantra.
As you may know, I come from Cinema4D and Redshift, that's why I render all my animations with Redshift, but I've decided to take a few hours to understand a little bit better of Mantra and how it works, so I can help you out and explain how to use it in your works!
