Houdini 19 Sneak Preview Video!

 

Key Pose Extraction!

This is a new feature in KineFX in Houdini to filter out some noise jitter from your mocaps. Very handy tool. But I noticed that it smoothed a little more than just the jitter and removed some of the motion details too. I’ll play around with this some more and see if the Key Pose Extraction can be focused on certain parts instead of the whole body.

 

Unified Multi-Solver! Grains, RBD, Vellum, & Fluids → All Together!

Every dreamed of doing Grains, Fluid, Clothing, & Rigid Body all together in one single SIM without baking the geometry or using feedback phases to fake out the interations? This Vellum Unified Multi-Solver does everything under one roof! Super handy and super fun to play with. The only downside is that it’s limited to small scale scenes and not very suited for large ocean or large city or massive scenes. Give SideFX more time, I bet the next big update is around the corner!

 

Pyro to SOP!

SideFX added a bunch of templates to the TAB menu for pyro. By just typing “Pyro Configure” into the SOP context window, it’ll list all the pyro ready to go SIM templates!
