Crowds Basic Concept #6A - Crowd Triggers

In this video, I demonstrate how to setup Crowd Triggers in Houdini using the Animation States that were shown in previous videos.

Crowds Basic Concept #1 - Simple Setup

Kickstarting a new Houdini mini-series on Crowds! Create massive scenes with ease using Houdini! You’ll find creating these massive Crowd simulations isn’t as much work as you would expect in comparison to the resulting scene.

KineFX Animation Basic Concept #6 - Procedural Animation

What is Procedural Animation? What makesWhat is Procedural Animation? What makes an animation procedural? In this video, I explore some of the basics that makes an animation procedural and demonstrate how the sine wave can easily bring a character to life through animation! an animation procedural?

KineFX Animation Basic Concept #3B - Rig Posing Workflow

I demonstrate how we can use what has been taught up until now with Houdini's Kine-FX techniques and character rig posing to create a scene where the Octopus grabs onto a balloon. The Kine-FX is combined with some tricks in the viewport and Vellum Simulation to make the wrinkles in the balloon and make our lives easier rather than modeling the wrinkles manually. I hope this will inspire more ideas for future projects of your own!

KineFX Animation Basic Concept #3 - Priority

I demonstrate how priority can be added to the IK Control Bones and tell Houdini’s Kine-FX system which bones should be followed more closely than others. This will allow us more control over posing the characters and makes posing much easier!

Cross Product Basic Concept #4 Part 3 VEX Coding

This is the last part 3, for Cross Product Basic Concept #4! In this video, we complete the robot and sphere scene and implement everything we learned so far into VEX in Houdini. In Part 2, which was a Math Lesson of the fundmentals, we take all that knowledge and implement it into CODE! And to take things up even notch, I add a bit more to enhance the code and determine the front and back directions as well.
