The first extended Houdini tutorial series that I followed and recreated alll the steps. Most of the things Ive learned so far was from this series, but I had to find some hacks to make it all work in Solaris, so this 4h series took me about 4 day to complete, to sort evertything out in LOPs, using a USD semi-correct workflow, using Karma XPU and materialX. Thanks a lot!

Hi this is really good demonstration!! Can you give me hint or explain on how about making making a whitewater render in karma xpu? I am using pyro shader in material library in stage context but unable to get the reflection for the whitewater? please help

Houdini MVP! Congrats on the material, awesome! Glad you're here!

One of the best begginner Houdini tutorials out there, paid level stuff, congratulations!

Just to clarify the extinction-falloff, it's not modulating the density by ray depth. It is adjusting the extinction coefficient, biasing the falloff of energy, in a dance with the bounce limit + the start level. In plain terms, it is biasing the energy falloff that should occur inside the medium, and producing brighter values where you'd normally need 50-100 volume bounces to achieve. It is a non-physical hack.

Breaking the volume bounce limit expression breaks the weighting for the extinction, I am not sure that's a great idea. Also, setting the volume bounces globally means every volume you render in that render pass will inherit it regardless of extinction weighting or if you wanted for example no bounces on a specific volume.

SO good. Thank you. Looking forward to more Solaris and Karma. Appreciate your work!

Great video mate! Would love to see some more compositing specific stuff in the future though!

great tut mate, but if u ask me rendering volume/clouds is still way to slow even with the latest hardware...

Great work! Can I ask how are you able to preserve big shapes while also keeping small details. Is it no turbulence and just disturbance based on density? Or maybe vel? Mine just turn into disorganized mess. But then again, I tried with axiom cause my pc dies with pyrosolver

Nice like you do 3D to compositing videos

Awesome video man, thanks! I will be looking forward for more of those 😃

is this Ai Voice ☺😮

Hi, why can render volume in realtime and even on a website ??? Or that's bake texture to a mesh ?

Thanks for sharing some great tips here.

Masterclass! Thanks for this.

Awesome video!

love it

Something Interesting! Thnks!

not using blender anymore?

Thank you soo much for this !!!,I have a small doubt tho, is there a way to render multiple render nodes in karam like we can do it with mantra where we can chain all of them and click on last one and it will render all the render nodes together ????

YESSSSSSS !!!!

ahh i was just messing with the min and max values per asset, didnt know there was a formula to it, thanks!

@breakyourcrayons are these VDB asset clouds animated or static?

Hey! thank you so much. I've come from using htoa(arnold) and it did work. If there's anyone here coming for the same but for htoa, try to go even beyond from -0.25 on the offset. On my case I had to lower it until -0.9 to make it work. Thanks dude, much appreciated.

'Break Your Crayons' is such a cool name, I thought of calling my channel, 'Throw Your Life Out of the Pram™'! xD

Looks like the Samuel Krug node setup

i'm in blender 3.4 and all looks great in viewport render, but then the actual render looks like the density has been crunched right up and its got those voxel blockyness --- desperately need help lol - I DMd you on insta also

Awesome mate!!!’ Thaaank you for this!!

great, i got through the whole tutorial

Thanks for explaining the power function for me.

Awesome process man. Question, is this optimized for animations? or would take years to render?

For some reason this isn't working for me in 4.0

OMFG

So glad i came across your channel

I want my money back. It says failed to load volume in Blender 4.0

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to do this workflow with houdini apprentice without a wordmark?

Thank you so much been looking for some like this, consider me a forever subscriber

This looks really good, thanks for sharing. You should turn on node wrangler addon that comes with Blender, it makes working with nodes in Blender really fast and intuitive. Things like adding texture coordinate and mapping can done with just ctrl + t.

Looking awesome, especially the simulation. And yep, Samuel Kruger have done some extensive testing on shading it within Cycles, it looks good here as well, to. I usually try and stick with the principle shader though, and instead of the density channel, feed light paths to the absorption channels and adjust that, sometimes I feel that looks just as good.

These clouds just look great! 🤩

NICE

Straight to the point yet quite complete. I didn't know a thing about rendering clouds in Houdini, now I do. Thank you!

Subbed! Love these you're really good at tutorials, please keep them coming!

Do you think Blender renders clouds better or Redshift better at the moment

This was recorded three years ago, so probably no one's gonna see it, but if someone could explain me how to add texture from Quixel to a whole ground plane that would be awesome:))) Right now I'm just getting one muddy colour perhaps I need to scale something but nothing helped when I tweaked displacement, normal, albedo gamma or scale inside the RSMaterialBuilder, nor ticking Tessellation/Displacement at the Reshift OBJ tab on Geometry itself:((

Woow thanks, looks so nice with just a few tweaks. Looking forward to the Blender version as well

thanks for this, do you have a discord?
