Houdini Crowd Simulation with Bug Army
Bug Army
One of my favorite scenes is the Bug Army that I demonstrate in this Live Stream! This is the perfect application for Houdini’s Crowd Simulations! When the bugs touch the red ball, they trigger their respective ragdoll state and I used a color node to turn the ragdoll ones to Orange for easy viewing.
I had loads of fun all the way from rigging the Bug using Houdini’s Kine FX and all the way to plugging them into the Crowds Simulations.

Timing Animation with Music
It gets better with music! As one of the first test scenes I did with the Kine FX Bug rig. I added some music and timed it just right so that when the bug nodes its head down, it aligns with the beat of the music.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR SOUND ON FOR THE CLIP ON THE RIGHT!
