Using dophassubdata To Change Colors Dynamically

It’s a fairly straight forward but I thought it needed to be put in video form. Dynamics and expressions in Houdini go hand in hand and this is an example of that. You can find the video tutorial on how to do this here and the result below:

Constraining Cloth Addendum

I was so caught up with showing how you can get your grouped points output to a group node I didn’t show the easier way to stitch cloth with the stitch constraint (and an issue that may arise). So instead of calling do-overs and doing the whole video again just to add that, I’ll just do a 2 minute supplement to the video which you can find here.

Constraining Cloth

After seeing the videos that Sidefx puts out (1, 2), I am obviously left with the thought that I’m no where close to the level of “real” Houdini users. But I still trudge along learning what I can when I can, and sharing it here with everyone. Behold then my super beginner video on constraining cloth to a bar… using two different methods!

Here’s an example of the second method using the flipbook:

Cloth Intro And Exporting Simulations

Boy did I wrestle with Houdini’s cloth a while before I had the nerve to do a video about it. I mis-spoke about the tristrip being able to break up geometry (it doesn’t), but I think it’s pretty solid as far as what I’ve discovered on my own and what I read in the help files (especially when it came to the guide geometry). The video is pretty big which I’m not too comfortable with, but I was on a roll and my desire to split these two topics into two videos went right out the window when the two topics blended together. Given my desire to not tick off my web host by sucking bandwidth I think I might remove a few older Blender videos to start making way for Houdini ones. You can find it here.
