HI people from the internet. After posting my geometry creation tutorial for Houdini, people approached me with the question, if such a plexus effect is possible in Cinema 4D, too. And I said no, not without plugins. But after thinking about it for a little […]
When I saw this tutorial on Greyscalegorilla, it occurred to me that although I liked the results a lot the process of sculpting and posemorphing would be a bit too unflexible for my needs. And of course it would also be too tedious for a lazy […]
Did you ever wonder how to create polygons and polylines through code in Houdini. It’s a straigtforward concept. But you have to know some things about the way Houdini organizes and stores geometry in memory. In this tutorial Manuel will walk you through the process […]
It just occured to me that in the following tutorials I’ve omitted one thing which is kinda important: How to get your creations out of Houdini and into another program. The easiest way that works in any version of Houdini is the right-click/save geo technique. […]
Hello people from the internet! Glad to be with you and finally be online. Can’t tell you how exciting the last weeks have been! Recording tutorials, making videos, testing equipment, getting all the web stuff up and running. Fun times indeed!
Abstracted paintings can be fun, but the tend to look a bit flat. So why not give them depth by extruding parts of the geometry? In this tutorial we’ll dive into VOPs (VEX Operators) and procedurally move geometry points in order to create a polygonal […]
After we built our basic setup we dive into the rendering side of Houdini. We’re gonna set up basic lighting and create and adjust shaders to create a rendering of our abstracted Painting. This should give you a short overview of how to quickly setup […]
A common technique in computer graphics is the use of a kernel for image processing. We discuss what makes it so useful when for example we would like to detect edges in an incoming image. We’ll be implementing this technique in the next part of […]
Lastly – we’re putting the final touches on our setup and implement a simple automatic edge detection (based on a similar Kernel we’ve discussed in Part IV). This allows us to drive point scattering to be along any edges in our input image. Makes for […]
