Modeler for Houdini
Приєднався 31 жов 2011
On this channel, you can explore my developments for Houdini. The primary focus of the channel is addressing modeling challenges in Houdini. Specifically, a large portion of the content is dedicated to the Modeler plugin, which solves direct modeling issues within procedural environment.

Another simple model. This is a real-time recording, although it might seem sped up.

Переглядів 82314 днів тому
One of the Modeler users recorded a good video for beginners. He created a simple hard surface model: [ua-cam.com/video/HgIFcLLX2cg/v-deo.htmlsi=rhRzwH4hoKVINds1] I felt like recreating it but using a slightly different method. At the same time, I wanted to show beginners some of the many approaches to working with hard surface models in Modeler 2025.
Modeler 2025: Duplicating Keymap
Переглядів 425Місяць тому
This video demonstrates how to create a copy of the Modeler keymap for editing. In this way, you can create a copy of any keymap. After creation, two files are generated in Houdini's settings folder: one stores the keymap, and the other contains the changes. By selecting the Reset/Reset All option in the hotkey editor, you can reset the keymap to its default state.

Soft Boolean 2025: Panel Tool
Переглядів 1,1 тис.2 місяці тому
Panel is a simple tool that adds a copy of the active node and sets its mode to Intersect, while the original node is set to Subtract. This allows you to have two Soft Boolean nodes: the first one with the cutout and the second containing the cutout itself. These two nodes can then be merged using the Merge Nodes tool, resulting in a paneling effect.
Modeler 2025: Boolean Model Retopology
Переглядів 5 тис.2 місяці тому
In this video, I create a SubD surface from a curved model obtained through Boolean operations. The method consists of identifying sharp edges using the Sharp Edges tool, converting them into curves with the Duplicate tool, and using resampling to make the curves uniform. Then, using the Face tool, I create individual patches from selected points or edges. To modify the patch topology, I usuall...

Modeler 2025 for Houdini Sneak Peek
Переглядів 14 тис.3 місяці тому
I am excited to present the latest version of my modeling addon for Houdini. The core and tools have been practically rewritten from scratch, with the main focus on moving away from a separate, foreign UI and fully utilizing Houdini’s native features for tool interaction. Modeler now operates based on Houdini's radial menus, hotkeys, and shelf tools. What's new: same-trip-4ea.notion.site/What-s...
Houdini vs Maya Preselection Highlighting
Переглядів 6894 місяці тому
When the mouse cursor is outside the geometry, the highlighting of the component closest to the cursor doesn't work correctly. This is a very old bug in Houdini. In other programs, this works properly.
Houdini: Activate Node Closest to the Cursor
Переглядів 7664 місяці тому
This script allows you to activate the node closest to the mouse cursor using a hotkey. Activation includes selecting the node and enabling the display and render flags. Script link: drive.google.com/file/d/19PmEG1ietumZhDBoLJpiOUx06RJ4Lkkb/view?usp=sharing
Houdini: Improve Viewport Shading
Переглядів 1,4 тис.4 місяці тому
By default, Houdini's geometry display settings are not as good as those in other programs. However, there's a solution. You can adjust the default material settings and headlight lighting to improve the viewport's geometry perception. You can download the viewport settings file here: drive.google.com/file/d/18YHRn_mSKghe-D_PB_Tx0zajyQ6YjSRy/view?usp=sharing
Houdini 20.5: Sculpt tool issues 3
Переглядів 6525 місяців тому
If you switch to selection mode from Sculpt mode using the button on the left panel, everything works fine. But if you switch to selection mode using the hotkey 'S', the selected polygons are not highlighted in the viewport. Also, switching from Sculpt to selection mode using the 'S' key causes an error message to appear when selecting the Brush parameter.

Can we directly replicate the face while moving and rotating?
I really want to switch to Houdini modeler as my main modeling tool for a while now and I think i will try this out.
Thanks This is great
Thanks for uploading this! Have Modeler but struggling to get comfortable using it. These videos help a lot, would appreciate more of them to see different problems/solutions too
need more simple models with expalnation of possible
Need someone commenting, hope with time it will mimic stuff from Blender things that make sense, if Modeler can make the Blender user comfortable on Houdini that would be insane.
What hotkey s the edge equalize?I cant find it in my hotkey list.
Люкс!
Great tool you've created, my friend! Congratulations
Very impressive!
The idea of node swapping is brilliant 0:11
This makes me want to use houdini for modeling (blender/bforartists user + dev)
its worth it, gets you far in the industry and does literally everything you can imagine.
@Ariel-z3f oh I'm just a hobbyist, mainly wanting to do vehicles/mechanical modelling when I start hopefully next year
Its beautiful
❤
thanks
Мощная тулза!
When the rotation happens, press "esc" just like @1stGarden mentioned. Then you can just create a new "Scene View" and close the old one. That is at least my work around for now.
does it have limits in Houdini Apprentice?
no
Can we copy while sliding the edge? This is a very practical function
coming soon
It would be a good comparison to see the process of modeling this in vanilla houdini
who wants to put himself through that much misery though?
yes, that would be interesting to see. But trust me, it will make your eyes bleed.
Brutal
Wow man this is insane
Sick! That linear falloff step is really cool! Man, just love the use of relax as well. So. Good! Thanks for that Alexey! :)
@arcanacom, Alexey, those new tutorial recordings you both provide are real game changer in my perception of what modeler can do. I've watched and repeated them myself and modeler can be my next modeling tool of choice. Thank you both, I wait for more (those with commentary, and those with music I'm quite fond of ;) )
Cool! What kind of music is playing?
Looks wonderful 👏 Is there an xray display mode? Solo object functionality?
works in mac OS sonoma?
yes
thank you for not making any USEFUL tutorial video to learn how to use/buy your new version.
Here is a video for beginners ua-cam.com/video/AS9UmsB-fQs/v-deo.html
@@ModelerHoudini Sorry for being so annoying but this plugin should be very KNOWN by now!, you're making an amazing job but not that good selling it.........(don't make me buy it and make Great tutorials with it!) hahahah, take some time to model random stuff from scratch just that....specially if that's your final UI design. I'm Sr subdiv modeler with exp in everything else except Houdini, and the only reason I want your stuff is because I see you're a good old school modeler, I see patterns from xsi, modo, silo, max, maya even hexagon, all at once, (my actual dream tool to work ultrafast), on top of that you choose the best platform for it..........awesome
File is not downloadable.
try again
As much as I like this, Id like to see some inovation on topological modelling that would help to focus more in design rather than topology. I think if there was a mode to draw base shapes in style of Plasticity, Id be completely sold.
How do mirror stuff I can’t get it to work ;(
alt+v radial menu
When you start following exactly step by step these Exercises against your other Main modeling tool you start understanding how well optimize this plugin is.
Honestly, sideFX should just hire you to make their modeling tools. This resolves one of the few fundamental issues in Houdini: proceduralism isn't great for this type of poly modeling.
They have said ages ago they don't want to resurrect the Model SOP.
We need more examples of how to use it, just like the SNES mouse, with this new version, PLS! :)
Do you have a learning document for Modeler Soft Boolean? Thank you
Can you provide the learning document? Thank you
Nicely done
is there a documentation somewhere ? There's no tutorial or guide anywhere
This looks great. what's the difference between the $100 or $500 one? I'm and individual does that mean $100? I have a perpetual license because I like to own my tools. thanks
Yes, the $100 license would work for you.
@@ModelerHoudini that's really awesome. thank you thank you! bye bye modo
same for mac os?
yes
Loads better, thanks 🙏
This is great, thank you.
I always thought the glossy surface was distracting. Thanks for fixing this longstanding problem!
Looks like better than blender
Its not hard being better than blender. Wings3D is better modeling program than blender.
@@amigarulez And yet people still use it for manufucturing.. ie Rhino
Great tutorial :) but please add Voice over or on screen actions :)
daamn
Hello, Please i need course Modeler 2025 for Houdini basic to adv
any chance of recording these things with with your mouse and keyboard actions recorded to screen?
I wished that there is some VO. Hope there will be some video tutorials with VO explaining each tools and workflows
the f is VO
@@rennightmare Voice over. No need to cursing dude.
@@strangeapprentice oh i love those guys who abbreviates sense outta words
@rennightmare VO is pretty common abbreviation.
Is Soft Boolean part of the Modeller addon?
no, soft boolean is a separate addon
Houdini is very complex and difficult, please make a tutorial at least for absolute beginners. Thanks!
There is lot of free good and masters tutorials on UA-cam, vimeo and Houdini side fx website. And Houdini offers free learning tutorials is learning path you can find that in Google bro.
