To learn more about Houdini, be sure to visit www.cgforge.com In this video, we talk about how you can use the gas up res node to improve the quality of your low-resolution simulations. I use the smoke and pyro tool-set for this example, but the same sort of thing can also be applied to any fluid simulation. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd4fuIccZso

Be sure to check out the course right here: https://www.cgforge.com/course?courseid=l-systems-and-instancing L-systems offer a great way of procedurally modeling geometry, and with these skills, you'll be able to create a wide variety of complex objects. If you've ever wanted to create foliage, complex fractal geometry, or spline-based models from scratch, then L-systems offers you a procedural way of doing so. Unlike many other tutorials, this course aims to address the topic in an easy-to-follow, technical, and artistic way. In addition to L-systems, you'll learn more about instancing and how to work efficiently with Houdini. We'll be rendering out millions of polygons with both Mantra and Redshift while aiming to optimize render times as much as possible. These optimizations are applicable across a wide variety of 3D topics. Large scale environment creation, destruction, crowds, and real-time render engines are all examples of other 3D topics which will benefit from this course. Thank you for watching! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5whfFBHfrJo

This node is very useful for times when you want to combine the values of two attributes into something else. You can update the existing attribute or create a new one with the results. In this example, I demonstrate how you can use the attribute combine to create a geometry displacement based off a texture map. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shtECcyp1QE

In this Weekly Wrangle, we'll take a look at a variety of Houdini artworks for a dose of inspiration and constructive critique.
