Jam2Go Datamoshing in Copernicus
We’ve also seen the amazing video about Datamoshing in Unreal Engine by Jam2Go and couldn’t help but wondering: Can pull this off in Houdini as well? And with a bit of Karma-, SOPs-, and Copernicus-Magic, this is actually quite easy and fun to pull off! […]
Easy Houdini: Clay 3D Printing With Vellum
Let’s take a quick break from Copernicus and build a good, old fashioned, simple SOPs setup. And also recreate a look from additive manufacturing, that we like quite a lot here: 3d printing with clay instead of thermoplastics – which is mostly like regular 3d […]

This course is about making Machine Learning the next tool in your Houdini toolbox. Just like some problems are best solved with vector maths or Vex or Python, some problems get way easier with ML and we want to be able to spot these problems […]
Building a Particle Brush for Copernicus
One of those really fun party trick brushes of Substance Painter is the particle brush, with which we can, well, paint particles onto an object, which in turn will run down it’s surface, leaving some nice streaks behind. Houdini has had particles for ages and […]
Building a PBR layering asset in Copernicus
In the last video, we showed you our take on a Substance like pbr layering workflow in Copernicus. And in that video we used a custom Digital Asset that allowed us to quickly load in all textures of a pbr material, do some basic tweaks […]
Building a Substance like texturing workflow in Copernicus
We’re back! And Houdini now has Copernicus, a complete rebuild of the image workspace with a focus on texturing! So, let’s see if we can build a texturing workflow where we can bring in multiple pbr texture sets and layer them onto an object with […]
Rolling Shutter – Bending Time With Attribs
Today we want to take an artifact from digital cameras, something that we usually try to avoid, and turn it up to eleven! Make it an effect on it’s own! And that artifact is rolling shutter. To achieve this, we’ll need to bend time using […]
Popping a Soap Bubble
Bubbles! We have a bit of a thing for bubbles here at Entagma. But the one classic Houdini setup we have not done yet is a bubble pop. So let’s fix this right now! Download Project File
