- This is the start of a new mini-series on fundamental Houdini techniques. Demonstrated using mushrooms. Of course.
We’re starting off by setting up a softbody simulation in Vellum and then using Houdini’s point deform node to transfer the low resolution simulation results onto high res rendering geometry.

Great video! I think I’d like to see an more in-depth look at the point deform node!
One of the best teachers of Houdini out there. Thanks for all
Hahaha the intro is really great! 😂 More off screen action please!
Such a great tutorial - thank you!
This channel is the best gift for Houdini community that could ever happend. Kudos to you guys, great job. Thanks to your content I can finally learn Houdini in pleasant way without frustration and feeling lost. And now tutorial about mushrooms , you are AMAZING.
This is gold! Will definitely come in handy. Thanks for sharing.
well that's interesting. would appreciate to understand more of point deform, and yes everything, and why not more about vellum rendering. thank you so much for this great support you are offering in the process of learning houdini.
A point deform video gets my vote!
one more vote for pointdeform in-depth. P.S. u are Amazing!
Thank you for this tutorial. Refreshing and relaxing as always! I'd prefer to know more about the point deform node.
Awesome stuff! I'd vote for point deform in-depth!
GREAT START TO MY MORNING. THANK YOU. More on point deform :)
Point deform for sure!! Very nice tutorial, cheers.
Next video I want in-depth look at the point deform node! Thanks Mo.
The three cherries hack is on fire haha
I would prefer to hear more about point deform. I used it, and I know the effects of it, but I don't know what exactly is going on under the hood. Would be nice, thanks!
Also, how to get point deform to match the high and low models by an attribute, so if you have a more complex model where the models are close to each other, low_shroom1 will only deform high_shroom1, not high_shroom2.
You guys are so funny and at the same time so professional!!
Haha great intro! I'd love to learn more about point deformation! Thanks Moritz!
You are a great teacher!
Would love to see in-depth point deform, Thank You!
great tutorial as always - in depth pint deform for the next one would be interesting
Fantastic! I'm really enjoying learning houdini, and your channel is a gem guys, keep doing this shit.
Thanks for the great video Mo! I think both topic are super interesting, but I would be more interested in the point deform first, I hope you decide to share the shading later as well. Cheers!
Great video! My vote also goes out to 'point deform'.
Brilliant as always, thanks guys!
Point deform please. Thanks for the video !
amazing
point deform in depth!!!!
I threw a beer bottle to my monitor to digitize it. Didn't turned out well. Amazing video as always!
For bigger objects (bicycle, car), you might want to get a bigger screen. Luckily 82" flatscreens have come down in price recently.
Point deform first would be great and if you haven’t lost your ‘shroom buzz after that a final shading tutorial would be great - as I’m sure you would have some terrific advice for that as well. Thank you!
Man those cherries look amazing! I'd definitely prefer more info on Point Deform, although I'm really tempted to ask for both! :D
Point deform in-depth!
Btw, best entagma intro ever haha
Definitely love to see the workings of the point deform node and also want to learn more about rendering vellum. Can you do both, if possible?
Point deform_SHow the full potential of the node
in-depth point deform please
Yes more soft stuff!!! Could you do a jelly human like the ones that Esteban Diacono does?
Hey could you please make a tutorial with vellum and maybe grain, like a mesh dissolution/dissolving effect? That would be great to discover new things with these tools! Cheers!
Awesome tutorial ,
I would love to see more on the "Guide deform " SOP node , there is no data on it anywhere .
Thanks
point deform and VEX! :D
Point Deform Next Week Please! :D
love it
for me shading and next deep into point deform...;)....but seems all prefer in-depth on point deform....
I love you work and I'd like to make a formal request. How to build basic things needed for the average VFX Artist.
Simple fire.
Simple water.
Sticky blood.
Simple stringy Slime/Drool/Honey.
Simple Glass shatter.
How to make things like fire water and destruction slow motion.
Growing vines that wrap to a moving object.
Simple bullet tracers.
Simple disintegration effect.
Easy to set up rigid bodies and destruction.
Easy to set up soft body dynamics that connect to animated characters. Fat jiggle ect.
The easiest fastest way to put a cloth simulated shirt onto an animated character. Or a dress.
If you could teach an easy way to press a face up against glass I'd be blown away.
All artists will constantly run into a need for these things while working in the industry.
Stay simple and basic. Don't assume we know anything. Easy to understand from an absolute beginners perspective. Using Vex coding is cool and important but as a beginner I know I will forget it the second I'm past that part of the lesson but in the instance of the raspberry it just wouldn't work and its not like I can ask you why (I'm dyslexic so I'm gonna have a hell of a hard time with that). At that point from my perspective Houdini just doesn't work and it makes your tutorial hit a brick wall if I need to work to continue. Assume we came to you to solve a very specific problem and we don't know Vex.
For instance I need blood for a zombie to getting shot in the head. The blood need to eject out of his forehead and hit the wall, stick to it and slowly realistically drip down.
I need to control the amount the velocity and be able to art direct the splat on the wall or ground. I do effects like this constantly.
That may be extreme for TH-cam of course but you can see the artistic challenge in achieving that effect. And the best part is that it's a reusable effect that can be built upon.
More making of practical things that artist would reuse. Doughnuts are cool but when are ever going to need to make a soft body mushroom a doughnut or a Raspberry compared to fire water and destruction? Also how to export these project to other software's such and Maya and 3DS Max. Blender is popular but most post houses don't really use it so its usefulness has a half life. Focus on the things that people will need and run into constantly. Of course these are all just suggestions. Your content is great. Your teaching style is great. You have some of the best Houdini tutorials on the internet. But this is what I and many others like me in the industry are looking for. This is in no way a criticism of any kind. In fact you're too damn smart for me and others to keep up. Boolean denting is awesome but in three years of working on the Walking Dead I cant think of one time I would have need that. So teach me a fast simple setup for something you know I will need that I can reuse over and over again. I hope this comment finds you. Because I'm more than willing to pay to learn these things.
Point deform in-depth please!
Instructions unclear. I threw my mushrooms at my screen and a cucumber appeared instead.
Sounds like wrong spin, try adjusting your throw angle.
It's cute.
Hi! Great tutorial!
What's the difference in pinning to animation through the tab that is available when we have the "cloth" preset in the "vellum constraints node" and in pinning to animation by using a new constraints node ,set to "Pin to Target" preset and then doing it there?
I would assume none but except if I am doing something completely stupid when I try the second way the roots of the mushrooms go haywire. Reason I was trying this is because I was trying the new Tetrahedral Softbody setup which is supposedly better and in this one we lack the pin to animation slot.
Sorry nevermind I got it. It's just that the grouping and animation has to happen after the solidconform. :)
When i was replicating this, i used the Tommy test geometry -- it was kinda disturbing with a human shape.
Point deform please! :D
Is there any way to make Point Deform work on a Vellum Source set to stream?
Well...just for fun...I would be interested in watching a video you made while on mushrooms.
Not sure if I'd want to be on mushrooms though...
Thanks for this amazing tutorial !! Is there any way to make the mushroom brakes at a certain point ?
Heyhey,
Breaking the mushrooms would be a tad bit more involved as you'd have to pre fracture them and use constraints to hold those parts together until a breaking threshold has been reached. But yes, definitely doable.
Cheers, Mo
So beautiful, Moritz. Thanks! So, is *Point Deform* basically the Houdini version of C4D's *Mesh Deformer* ? A high-pass filter on the mic recording would be very appreciated, btw!
A high-pass filter... Too much bass for you? Using Beats headphones?
@@Entagma no, Focal CMS 50 monitors, seems there is too much bass spectrum, but maybe it's just my system, although it's neutrally eq'ed...
@@ArgoBeats Weird. On my Beyerdynamics DT770's it's almost lacking bass...
@@Entagma it's fairly heavy on my AKGs as well, but I'm not sure at this point...
Great, what Houdini I need to do such stuff, Houdini Indie will work? In fact can I replace x-particles with Houdini Indie...the price is even lower?
For a comparison of different Houdini versions / licensing options, here's SideFX's page on that: www.sidefx.com/products/compare/
Pinning the base is not working tho
hahah best tut ever
Point deform indepth
Lol mo, are you sure you're not on shrooms?
Definitely. Somewhat sure, yes :) Cheers!
@@Entagma ah, so that's what gives you that creative edge!
Fair warning, trying to scan a brick: results are even more problematic :)
plz stay of the humour ...
Right. Gonna try mushrooms instead. Cheers, Mo
@@Entagma hhahahhahah, I liked that part.
God forbid. humor.. and houdini?? in the same room!!? blasphemy!!!
hey entagram, im trying to do a project for my school but due to maybe my knowledge in houdini, im not sure where to start, it involves a blossoming flowers growing out of skeleton, slipping through the spaces and wiggling abit etc where do i begin?
