Thanks Fabian!!!

[@mncr13]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. This is my first time messing around with simulations in Houdini, and I was wondering if it's possible to create a loop out of this? I wanted to bake the simulation on a vertex animation texture and I think it makes sense to make it loop somehow. Thanks so much :)

[@marcdomvfx]

It's possible to loop it. Generate a cache of few frames. Then create a freeze timeshift and a blendshape nodo. Then just animate the cached one to the timeshift with the blendshape. Don't know if I explained well hahaha

[@mncr13]

Thanks so much for the answer :) I will try it out in the next days, I'll let you know

[@itscoldcoldwinter]

can we use this for games any method

[@FaddyVFX]

houdini is in my opinion the best 3D software ,i think that unreal and blender with houdini is the best combination

[@marcdomvfx]

Sure! the challenging part is to transfer the data between the different software but every day it's getting easier. The point is to use the best from each program 😉

[@lofiboostvibes3071]

Hola Marc! De donde puedo sacar modelos como esos de arboles?

[@marcdomvfx]

Hola! Yo siempre utilizo sketchfab o Cgtrader Te dejo los links: sketchfab.com/feed (en filter pon "downloable") y www.cgtrader.com/

[@pixshaper]

Thanks a lot! It was very useful. How could you solve to break the branches with a dynamic simulation?

[@marcdomvfx]

Thanks man! So you can do the vellum stuff and father the cache you can create a RBD sim. You can Shatter the tree branches and then you can define i@active or not in order o make them fall

[@pixshaper]

@@marcdomvfx Thanks for your quick reply. I will try it. Maybe, if you have time, you could make a tutorial on this as well?

[@Adenomamusic]

Dude are you The VFX School - Houdini Renascence Program guy? familiar voice :)

[@marcdomvfx]

hahaha noo but I have some friends there

[@nicolecampanha9392]

How can I make that with several trees in one scenario?

[@marcdomvfx]

You have to create the setup for each tree variant and then time offset the sim to get variations in the simulation

[@c0d2x]

nice tutorial

[@marcdomvfx]

Thanks dude!
