Crystals are tedious to create by hand, especially if you want to create lots of them. In this tutorial Manuel looks into how to create a procedural crystal generator from start to finish using Blender 4.3 Geometry Nodes. We‘ll create detailed geometry with internal crystal […]

Today we’re covering two topics in Copernicus, that are long overdue: Cellular Automata and OpenCL. CAs because they’re a classic Entagma topic and now we actually have a way in Houdini to actually build and display them directly, without the use of 2D volumes or […]

Welcome to this years first Blendini Tutorial…? Well, Blender has gotten really good at rendering brushstrokes with it’s Grease Pencil system – and Chris wants to have that functionality for his Houdini setups as well! So in this video, we’re first going to build or […]

Chris recently stumbled on an old interview from SideFX with Guerilla Games, the makers of Horizon: Zero Dawn. And in that interview Vladimir Lopatim shared a really neat setup of a space filling cable generator. Now, seven years later, there are a ton of new […]
We‘re very happy to have Houdini magician Simon Fiedler back on the show! Simon will show you how to build and arrange truchet tiles in Houdini! An idea he, oddly enough, got from viral soccer ball making videos! Download Project File

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! […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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
In an earlier episode we took a first look at the new ONNX inference node, a node that allows us to use trained neural nets inside Houdini. And today we want to use this node for something usefull – Volume Style Transfer! We want to […]

With Houdini 20 we got our first official machine learning node from SideFX. While we previously had example scene files that did machine learing related stuff or plugins like mlops, this is the first machine learning tool that you get just by installing Houdini. So […]
Welcome to the second and final part of our mini series on how to melt complex objects with fine details, textures and multiple materials. All without melting your pc as well! In the first part we built a setup to retain geometric detail and now […]

You guys seem to like melting things! So over the next two free tutorials, we’re going to answer one of the more common questions: How to melt more complex objects with fine details, textures and multiple materials. All without melting your pc as well! Watch […]
In this episode we’re using a little geometry processing trick to build a sci fi panel deformer, much like some of the tools in the Tissue addon for Blender. We’ll also learn how to use some of the OpenSubDiv functions within Vex in Houdini. Links […]

Particle Life is a new(ish), super popular autonomous agent system that is able to produce very organic, microorganism-like patterns with particles. So of course we had to build our own version in Houdini, right? In this video we’ll cover the basic ideas of Particle Life […]

Today we’re revisiting an old setup of ours: Creating intricate interference patterns using circular waves. Time has passed since Mo built the first version of this in 2018 and now, with Houdini 19.5, we got a new node that finally allows us to calculate those […]
