Please make a video about the rest. texturing , lighting, rendering...
for those who dont have exoside quad remesher you can get a similar result with setting the point radius scale in vdbfromparticle to 0.15 and adabtivity value in convert vdb to 1.5 its not perfect but it will do :)
Thx, I have exoside quadremesher but its throwing out an error every time I try and use it so I think I will be doing it this way.
hero 👌
@@jsolidd713 you automaticaly get it with labs plugin but you need the liscence to cook! I had the same problem!
thanks so much, i tried everything with instant meshes, remesh and fast remesh for hour
it's frustrating to know that c4d and even blender i think have a similar "remesh to quads" feature, that's not separate from the main software, unlike Houdini.
Result is amazing. Thanks for the helpful video, please keep it going.
Great tutorial! More Houdini Tutorials, please. You explained everything very clearly. Thanks!
Make a detailed analysis of lighting and rendering in karma
thank you for this aawesome tutorial!
Well done. That's a good setup for a realistic result. Thanks for the share.
Yes joined Patroen for Houdini! Great break down
Beautiful work!
Completely underrated, defiantly becoming a patron
Thank you! I am currently recording a lot of content for Patreon, so stay tuned.
so unique and well-thought
Excelent tutorial, thank you!
Loved this one! Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot, Travis!
Thank You very much, Roland!
You are welcome, Massimo!
Sooooo good. Thank you very much. SUBSCRIBED.
Thanks a lot, Philipp!
New subscriber here! I already bought the shapes about one week but I didn't know who made them till I saw your tutorial, Great tutorial, what about the texturing/lighting/rendering parts :D!
Thank you for the tutorial
I subscribed for Houdini contents! Thank you
You are welcome!
at 18:35 you can also just set the destination class in the attribute transfer itself! 😊 great video!
you mean just switching the Destination group type to Primitives ?
Lovely and clear, cheers!
Thanks Pete!
Surprising⚡🔥
Many thanks!
Projeto incrível. ✌
Thanks 😊
Yes! please do more Houdini!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will definitely do that!
The final render looks amazing! great work
Many thanks!
@@graphicINmotion do you have a ready-to-be-rendered scene in your patreon? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
@@mohamedboukhraz1588 not for this project, but for other projects
amazing tutorial waiting for more
Many thanks!
Really good one
Thank you very much! 🙂
@@graphicINmotion looking for many more
Watched this tutorial a few times to really try understand the process - it’s so well explained !
I completely fall apart at the attribute wrangle section however as I simply don’t understand VEX. I don’t like to just copy from tutorials if I don’t understand what I’m doing as that’s not practical from a production POV.
Any chance you can explain the steps to recreate from a VOP level?
I also had problems with VEX in the beginning. But it’s such a fundamental and powerful part of Houdini, that I would highly recommend to take the time and learn it. VOP and VEX use the same concepts, the one uses visual programming (VOP), the other code (VEX). But the basic operation does not change. So if you understand the operation in VOP, you also understand it in VEX and the other way around. Write each line of code, read the documentation of the used functions and you will understand, what’s going on.
Great tuto! I share!
Thanks, Dany!
Excellent Video bud!
Thanks mate!
I really hope that there will be daily Houdini lessons on this channel
Daily will be difficult :D But new ones are in the making right now!
@@graphicINmotion At least once a week and with a render redshift (arnold, karma)
@@Ivan_Novgorodsky_ 👍 when I get enough support on Patreon 🙂
every other vellum tutorial sticks to 2d grids, this is priceless
Thank you very much! 🙂
Hello! Great tutorial for someone like me who is a literal beginner just starting out. Can I ask how I might go from here (after making the simulation) to assign materials to each of the cross shapes individually? I've found some cool materials/textures online that I downloaded, but im not sure how to go about specifying them for each, when these shapes are within one geometry node. Thanks!
You need to put down a unique "name" node for each of the shapes before they go into the vellum sim. Then after the sim you can use a "blast" node to select those names individually and isolate each shape.
great tutorial bro!
Thank you!
Thank you for this! This is great! How would I go about animating the restlengthscale? I know it can be done only through the vellumconstraintproperty inside the solver, but can't seem to figure out how to bring the @mask attribute in and behave similarly to your setup.
So you would need to go into the Vellum Solver and lay down a vellumconstraintproperties node, like it recommends in the comment. On that node you can specify a group and animate the restlength scale there! :) I can also recommend Entagmas balloon "Silly Pillow" tutorial for more information
Thank you. Could you share some points to texture it amazingly as you did?
I textured this in C4D using materials from greyscalegorilla. The process is not really exciting.
nice, what will be the wrangle to use rest mask in dop ? (vellum constrain properties node in the solver) to animate the pressure...? thanks
how do i add the materials
greta tutorial btw
Thanks for sharing! wanted to ask you... did you have to buy quadremesher or does it come with houdini? and what version of houdini are you using, indie?
Yes I bought quadmesher. But Houdini comes with a 30 day trail for quadmesher. I use indie.
Thank you for the video. However, how do you add colors, textures, lighting, and style to the pillow?
There are plenty of texturing and rendering tutorials. In this case I rendered with Redshift in Cinema 4D using materials from greyscalegorilla.
I'm day 0 on Houdini and want to just understand the workflow... You modeled and set up the simulation in Houdini, but then exported that to C4d to add materials and to render? So is the export of Houdini a mesh that has rendered "keyframes" from the simulation, so you can add materials to it on top of that?
there is another way to drive a vellum param through attrs?, it should be as that easy as write @mask in the rest length scale param but it doesn't work. I also tried with using a fit01(@mask,1,5) in the param but doesn't work. I think people uses vellum constraint properties node to do this but Idk how it works
why we have stiffness and rest scale in three different nodes! how can I differentiate between them?
You can specify groups for the different attributes.
How to put texture in to the UVs? New to Houdini
looks like a great tutorial, unfortunately I couldn't follow it without quad remesher. I couldn't find any alternative to remesh to quads.
I've got one question!
How do I simulate them falling on another Object, e.g. a Floor? The Pillows just become as Flat as a Handkerchief that had a drunk night out and are done with life, a little unsure what Attributes I'd need to change and/or if I need to add a Constraint then?
I'd appreciate a response on this, if you don't have time for that just let me know (please) and I'll try to find another way.
Thanks Roland
You can just take the pillows geometry and create a new softbody simulation. Or you try to add strut constraints to the balloon setup, but this will change the inflation.
Great work!! Where r the textures from???
Thank you! Textures are from Greyscalegorilla.
@@graphicINmotion Cool!!
How would i go about assigning different materials to each of the objects in Solaris? They seem to get imported as one single object using the SOP import.
I actually cover that in my Introduction to Solaris Tutorial. You can assign name atttributes in SOPs to each object. Solaris will recognise that.
@@graphicINmotion Thanks, I'll go watch it.
Hello, thank you for the tutorial. How did you get the parameter panel to show up overlapping of the network view ?
Just press „P“ key over the network view.
@@graphicINmotion Thank you, is that redshift you used to render the intro render ?
@@albanl8979 yes
@@graphicINmotion Thank you and last question sorry I'm new to houdini. Would there be a way to select the edges for the seams in a procedural way ? Like the group node let's say to select by random chance but to select random edge loops that are connected and closed ? Thank you
@@albanl8979 in Houdini there is usually a way for everything. In this case the group by expression node could help. But for the expression that would select random edge loops, you would have to ask one of the VEX pros out there.
did you texture and render in Houdini?
I rendered this in C4D with textures from greyscale gorilla. But I use Redshift in both programs, so the workflow is similar.
Thank you for the great tut !!! But may i ask you something ?
This:
> @restlength = lerp(@restlength, @restlength*chf("restscale"), @mask);
Is not working for me, many errors there :(
How can i fix this ? Am i blind? 😂
It should work if you follow all steps. Make sure that the wrangle is set up correctly. Check whether all attributes are spelled correctly.
@@graphicINmotion Thank you sir !
How fast is the simulation in Houdini compared to Cinema 4D?
I did not try the new cloth sim in C4D, but Houdini is fast.
I am getting an error with quadremesher from labs. Do you know how to solve it? I can copy paste the text , but it is quite extensive for a yt thread.
Thank you
I probably can’t help with that. Try the SideFX forums.
Can this be done in Blender?
HI I double check values at min 24 with mine and the mesh behaves quite differently. Is this a version issue?
Is the size of your mesh the same? I don’t think it’s related to the version.
@@graphicINmotion I believe it is the lenght of the lines is 1, unfortunately I am trying to open the file from Patreon, and it does not work.
@@brunosuraski5026 What is happening when you run the simulation?
@@graphicINmotion I will try to send it to you via Patreon if the system allows attachments.
@@graphicINmotion It just flexes differently.
Man, can i model something, create the UV and selection, and export that info to Houdini ? looks more simple model and UV in Blender and import to Houdini than create everything in Houdini...
Of course you can do that.
Shader anyone ? I'm here for shading and lookdev)
Wait a sec , the fact that you've made a mask means that forces that push vertices together act only on points within the mask (creases) right ?
Yes, that’s correct 👍
