Houdini - Object Packing

-
Today I took a look into 'Object Packing', which is where you birth geometry onto surfaces without any geo overlapping eachother.
Going by this cool mini-tutorial HERE, this effect could be used to create Ferrofluids.

Now this concept is a little advanced for me at this stage but after seeing the term 'object packing' get brought up in various places, I wanted to take a quick look into it to see what it actually implies and the sort of things you can create.

Here was my finished product:

Kinda looks like a spreading virus, a pretty cool effect that can be achieved farely quickly.

There was a lot of nodes used in this process that I am not overly familiar with yet so I'm not going to try and go over them here. This tutorial was obviously intended for people that already had a good idea about what a lot of these things did.
I will however be going into some of the other videos on this channel (FX Hive) as I think they have some longer, and more indepth tutorials to offer as well. This one was just a quick 15 minuter.

But regardless of some of the terms being over my head at this stage, I did have fun making it :D

Installing & Running Houdini on Linux

-
Since my workplace often ran their 3D tools on Linux machines, I decided to set-up a "linux box" and install Houdini (among other things) at home. Obviously installing software onto a linux computer is different to the quick and easy installation process on a Windows PC. So here are the steps I took to get it up and running on Ubuntu: 1. Download the installation file from the SideFX website . 2. Run the following on the .tar file you just downloaded      (the version I had downlaoded was houdini 16.5) : tar xvzf houdini-16.5.378-linux_x86_64_gcc4.8.tar.gz 3. Then run: sudo ./houdini-16.5.378-linux_x86_64_gcc4.8/houdini.installer 4. Once you have run through the installation, in order to get the 'houdini' command to work in                terminal you need to setup the houdini environment variables, such as the path to the Houdini              binaries (as stated in the houdini readme).     In order to do this you must cd into the following dir

Learning Houdini's 'Surface Operators' (SOPs)

So after 3 weeks of Uni and not getting back into my 3D study, I am finally forcing myself to learn some things. It's a friday night and I have forced myself to, instead of playing games or generally lounge around, actually start doing some Houdini stuff. I have decided to dive into the basics of SOPs. SOPs networks are responsible for creating and modifying Houdini geometry. Some interesting nodes I found Some of the operators you can use on geometry are polybevel, normal, polyreduce, polywire. I found the polywire node particularly cool, as it lets you create a wireframe of your object: A lot of these were very familiar looking operations to me since I have seen a lot of these things when using Maya, however seeing it used as a node network is very interesting. Especially the speed in which complex shapes can be created. The delete node is something I hadn't seen before. Being able to delete stuff based on rules, such as deleteing any face that is facing a certa

These are some notes I have taken while watching some beginner Houdini videos, primarily discussing the language of Houdini. NOTE: Keep in mind that this is pretty messy and information is a bit all over the place. I am basically treating this post as a way of taking notes while learning new things on Houdini basics from the SideFX site. Nodes/Operators Surface Operators (SOPS) :    Deals with geometry.   Geometry , volumes, attributes, VFX.     e.g. Procedural Soccer Ball - Network Model created from network to the right. Channel Operators (CHOPS):   Deals with motion.   Procedural motion FX (this can be used in place of keyframes for a more realistic motion), e.g. Add motion FX to the Y axis alter the way that the motion behaves kinematic solvers, timing, sound, constraints Dynamic Operators (DOPS):   Deals with simulation.   Solvers, forces and collisions.   e.g. Fluids, rigid bodies, particles, hair, fur, etc.
