June Work Plan

Hello everyone! 

I was thinking in a way to let you know about the upcoming tutorials and resources I'm developing. 

So I made a simple plan to show you what is going to happen. I'm thinking about doing this every month so my patrons will know what they are pledging for :) 

If you have any feedback about the tutorials and how I could improve their qualities, let me know!

Next tutorial was requested by Ray. Here is the link for the r...

Houdini Tutorial - Advanced Swarm

Hello everyone! Heere is the new tutorial about the advanced swarm system. In the end, I know the Swarm Paint project is a little bit complicated and it was hard to explain without taking too much time. 

If you want I can make a tutorial only for that. I've just added to this tutorial to show you how we can edit some forces to make the particles avoid or attract to something. 

Hope you enjoy the tutorial :)

Swarm Vote for Biggest Print

Hi everyone. Need your help. I can't decide which one I should print the biggest size for my art exhibition. 

From this post on instagram which one is your favorite?

Swarm Paint in Houdini

What do you guys think about this generative art? It's been fun playing with Houdini to make 2D Generative Art. I have been using Processing for this type of work but right now I need bigger resolutions to print for my art exhibition next week and Houdini let me render in any resolution unlike Processing.

Digital Assets

Hi everyone. I was looking back to our tutorials. What do you guys think about converting those projects to digital assets? For example if we need a swarm effect for our particles we could just import the digital asset without programming all the Vex code again. On the next popnet tutorial we are going to develop a system like xpnetwork from xparticles. Again, that would be a nice digital asset to have.
What do you guys think?

Houdini Tutorial - Swarm System

Hello everyone! On this tutorial, we are going to learn how to transform our Particles into Swarms.

It was hard to explain the process and every function in detail but I hope you can learn with this video. 😀 Hope you enjoy this tutorial!

First Goal

We've reached our First Patreon's Goal this week! Special thanks to you for the support and good feedback. 

Let's try to reach the second one and start doing weekly live streams! 

I've attached a PDF in case you want to print. I will be doing so to put on my studio's wall!

Big BIIIG Thanks from the bottom of my heart! <3

Next Free Tutorial Topic

Hello everyone! I'm going to open the poll to vote for the next free tutorial topic :) 

My plans for next weeks are to record the free and last part of Into PopNet - Swarm, and record the tutorial/tips and tricks to explain how we can draw an image with particle emitter or fluid simulations (like our work for Mother's Day on Instagram).  

What do you guys think? 

Thank you!

Sticky Particles - Houdini Tutorial

Hello everyone! In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to emit thousands of particles and make them sticky! 

As you may see during the video, it is all about exploring nodes, tweaking some values, change some parameters until you get the look you want. I did not cut some mistakes I did while recording because I want you to see that sometimes mistakes happen and do not be afraid to try some new stuff as I did, for example, using the velocity to color the particles. That did not...

Sticky Cells High-Res

What do you guys think about this shot? I'm recording the tutorial to release this afternoon :)

Patreon Changes

Hey everyone! I'm thinking about making some changes to our Patreon in order to help more people and be more appealing. 

I'm thinking about giving more focus on weekly art studies and tutorials. There will be free tutorials for everyone and medium/advanced tutorials (one or two per month) only for patrons. I'll record myself doing Weekly Art Studies too, so you can see how I've made them and learn with more content with quick tips and tricks.

What do you guys think? Is there ...

Houdini Tutorial - Into Pop Net Part 2

Hello everyone! Here is our new tutorial.

In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to use an image and vex to control our particles, and to do that, we are going to use the brightness of each pixel to control the velocity of our particles.

Live with Doxia Studio | Special Houdini #1

Hi everyone! As you may know, today I'm going to do a livestream for Motion Designers Community about my work in Houdini and talk about this patreon and tutorials!

Here is the link! Don't forget to join the livestream, would be really good to have my patrons out there! :D

Thank you all.

Houdini Tutorial - Into Pop Net Part 1

Hi everyone and welcome to our second tutorial: into the pop net world part one. 

I have decided to split this tutorial into different parts to keep things simple.   

I want to share with you how I got into PopNet coming from Processing and X-Particles in Cinema4D. Instead of doing another popnet tutorial like fireworks or falling particles, I want to show you something different like recreating my Energy Flow project that I have done in Processing.  ...

Tutorial # - Into Pop Net World

And at the end Pop Net wins the votes haha. 

Going to prepare the tutorial. We are with some works going on, but I will try to release this tutorial on sunday or monday! thank you all for the votes! 

I'm going to try and explain the particle system in Houdini with x-particles knowledge from C4D :) 

You will see it's super easy to start playing around with pop net! 

Houdini Tutorial # 2

Hi everyone! We are creating this poll to vote on which feature will we explore on the next Houdini's tutorial. 

We are thinking about to change this Patreon focus more into Tutorials and Project files to help the community to learn Houdini, Processing and Unity. And how to use these softwares with your work pipeline, for example, use Houdini into Cinema4D or any other software you use. What do you think? 

Youtube Issue

Hi everyone! So we had a problem with youtube. We tried to transfer the channel toa Brand Channel and Youtube decided  bug on us and delete everything including the whole youtube's channel.

So we had to create a new one. Some post have the youtube's link broken, but they are all available again on the new Doxia's Channel. 

We are so sorry for the  inconvenient :(

Houdini Tutorial #1 - Into Houdini & Simple Particle System

It is our very first Houdini's Tutorial! As a Cinema4D, What did you guys think about this tutorial?

Feel free to leave your feedback so we can improve the quality of our tutorials!  

Thank you all :)

Into Houdini - First Tutorial

Hello everyone!  It will be our very first Houdini's Tutorial! What do you think? 

As a former C4D and Processing user, how can we start using Houdini?  These tutorials will work as guides on how to start to work with this amazing software. 

How we transition our knowledge from other software to this one. 

Let us know what do you think about these tutorials :)

You can download the high-resolution images (4k) below.
