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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
We’re thrilled to have Andreas Catucci as a guest! Somehow aside from creating amazing work, he managed to record a video on a technique very dear to our hearts: Dart throwing. Sounds like simulating aerodynamics? Not quite. It’s a method to densely pack a surface […]

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 […]
Now that MLOPs is released and available for everyone, let’s create some motion graphics using those new tools and combine them with other workflows we already know from Houdini. In this video Chris shows you how he created these strange forest renders while beta-testing MLOPs […]

In part seven of our free course on building a rolling object solver, Bastian J. Schiffer extends our solver to take into account random initial rotation and so it works with cubes instead of tubes. Download Project Files
In part six of our free course on building a rolling object solver, Bastian J. Schiffer modifies our solver so it works with discs instead of spheres. Download Project Files
In part five of our free course on building a rolling object solver, Bastian J. Schiffer modifies our solver to work with POP particles. Download Project Files
In part four of our free course on building a rolling object solver, Bastian J. Schiffer goes over how to use our setup to have objects rolling across displaced surfaces. Download Project Files
In part three of our free course on building a rolling object solver, Bastian J. Schiffer covers how to apply our solver to multiple elements at once. Download Project Files
In part two of our free course on building a rolling object solver, Bastian J. Schiffer starts building the actual solver. Download Project Files
View Full Course Here Please welcome our friend Bastian J. Schiffer who generously agreed not only to do a guest tutorial, but a full seven part course! In this begintermediate course, he is going to take you through the steps necessary to build a solver […]

If layers over layers of car paint accumulate in the factory over the years they create grey rocks with magic hidden inside. Once you start to cut and polish these rocks all the individual color layers are revealed and create a color explosion. In this […]

One of those classic setups again! This time we’re combining custom point advection with a few nifty techniques in Houdini to analyze how our base geometry is shaped and where its edges are. Also we’ll talk briefly about a basic rendering setup in Octane. Napoleon […]
Thrilled to have Jeroen Claus back for a quick tutorial on creating toon outlines as geometry in Houdini. Ideal for those hybrid renders between toon and photoreal shading. Download Project File (.zip)
