Hi, thanks for this. Even after a couple of years of using Houdini and thinking I've got a handle on it I learn about another couple of nodes that I've never seen before - the tangent fields one and the project non-divergent node. I get the feeling I will never know even half the nodes :)
Awesome tutorial! Maybe a bit of explanation on why some option over the others, or why you pick this (just so we learn along and not only copy your clicks) But otherwise I liked it, very straight forward and clear!
Hello , Can you help me with the render settings you did after File cacheing and before taking it to NUKE as i am using karma and i am not able to view the Blue color on the particles...!!⁉
there's problem when i tryna add bind export it it doesnt work. it say's "Cannot primitive attribute "name", binding volume as density. whats now im stuck please help me
I really like your videos, I have learned a lot Bro, a question Is there any chance you can make a tutorial on how to bring a fluid simulation along with textures to Unreal Engine? I've searched for days and days on the internet and I haven't found something that would work for me, it would be great if you could make one.
Is it possible to achieve a similar render output without using Redshift? But by using Karma instead? I couldn't figure out how you got the particles to look so small.
Sorry, its been a while haha. Can you give me a time stamp? If you have a node selected, search for a new node and press shift+enter to create it, it will automatically connect to the node you have selected.
brooo why not showin how u rendered it? im loosing my mind, wth cant i simply click render and get a normal video like in blender??? i dont want exr nor anything else just a normal mp4 -.-
I gave away all the project files with the render setup in the description for free. Watching me trying to exactly replicate the light setup and shaders in the video seems like a waste of time to me.
Hey Mats, thank you for the Tutorial buddy :) I have a question, after the popnet, when you run your simulation, seems that your particles follow a path, mine particle behavior doesn't follow any path just expands outside a bit in every direction. How did you manage to give direction to your Particles?
i found the Solution: for some reason in Simulation tab in the popnet node, the Timestep and the offset Time were preselected animated (but why??) :O I delete the channels and it worked!
(edit, I found the solution) If anyone else got this problem, you just have to verify to check the tangent name option instead of the normal name into the polyframe node
Heya mate, looking for some help! followed your tutorial and for some reason my points are a bit bigger than yours no a 100% as to why that is, watched the video 5 times and everything is the same. Cheers
Maybe it's too late but before entering the render settings, you should change the points size in geometry parameters in SOPs to somewhat around 0.01. By default it's one.
Hello, I followed your tutorial entirely and I'm having an issue with the render. Redshift doesn't want to render anything from frame 36. While checking my file cache on the color pass, I noticed that my sphere in the viewport has different shades of color. Starting from frame 36, the color becomes more intense in just one frame, and indeed, Redshift refuses to render from this frame onwards. Does anyone have an idea? I can send my .hip file if you want to take a look. I really want to understand where the error is in my project.
Question: How can i "instance/ create" physical (geometry) spheres on all points so i can export as alembic into blender? When i try, blender only reads the points (data) and i can't really do anything with it. Thanks! Praise: amazing work here! biggest brains in town clearly!
Hey, thanks for watching :) I don't have personal experience with the Houdini -> Blender workflow, but particles are always tricky when trying to move between different softwares. Entagma has a tutorial about something similar though: ua-cam.com/video/SYz3Pz0m2XM/v-deo.html Might be useful?
(edit, I found the solution) If anyone else got this problem, you just have to check the tangent name option instead of the normal name, into the polyframe node
I am facing the same issue, particles are not going towards a direction its going outside everywhere. did you manage to fix it ? if so then pls tell me.
Hey man! Such an amazing tutorial! Thank you very much for all the time and effort you put into this. Like, comment, and subscribe to help promote the channel. Kudos! 🙌
Is it normal that my PC took 40 minutes to cache to disk at 6:52? I'm running a i7 12700 and a rtx3060 (notebook) with 32gb ddr5 and NVME ssd. I'm new to Houdini so I'm sorry if this is a dumb question
I named the file without the $F4, which gave me only one frame with all the information from every frame. After fixing that, the cache time went to 3 minutes hahah
Hi! can someone please help me? I'm stuck around 3.10 , when I change the VDBactivate to reference nothing happens! I have an empty box and a really small box inside it. I'm really new to Houdini so I'm not very skilled! I hope someone can help me!
Sorry to bother you，I haven't been studying houdidni for very long time.......I followed your tutorial，used Octane to render and found the Particle size is very large .I tried to solve this problem but failed.T^T I don't know why ,how to Control the Particle size?
@@gunayali-wj4xy I just checked, and the nodes are still present in Houdini 20.5 :) Yeah maybe you have to update if you are using an older version. I believe those nodes were released in 19 or 19.5. Thanks for watching!

That's awesome to hear! The VDB node is so handy when dealing with any type of velocity fields. Thank you so much for watching.

Yeah I am trying to get better at explaining while I go along. Its a bit difficult for me, hopefully I can improve moving forward! Thanks for watching
Just stumbled upon your channel. What a gold mine! Subscribed :)
Some great little tips in here. Thanks!
This was a cool tutorial 👍very smooth and well explained. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
beautiful work mat
Thanks alot man
"B" doesn't work for me for "switching the twist cycles" :( It just changes the viewport layout, can smbdy help with this one?
Press enter in the viewport once after having selected the node! Let me know if the problem persists
@@mnymanVFXyeeaah, it worked, thx!
Super thanks. This is a very cool project and tutorial
Totally awesome, so short and so much usefull information. Thank you.👍

More to come! Thank you for watching
Hi Mats, I am confused my shape doesnt even look like that even with the exact same nodes.... am i missing somehting in settingS?
Cool Tutorial！

你好，我按照你的教程来制作，我用redshift渲染发现是黑色画面，有什么办法可以解决它吗？
Hello, is it possible to render this scene not in Redshift, but in Karma?
Is it possible to achieve a similar render output without using Redshift? But by using Karma instead? I couldn't figure out how you got the particles to look so small.
You have to adjust the pscale attribute to adjust the size of the particles
Dayum
Thanks, really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
how do i render? im trying to follow other tutorials but it just wont work
Hey, Great Tutorial! How did You connect 2 nodes dragging wire from one to another and then typing the name of node to connect to?

why in the description link is to Nuke instead of Houdini?
Its a link to the Nuke 90 day trial that was available at the time I made this video. There is some slight compositing at the end.

Pressing B to enter the Twist view does nothing.
With the twist node selected, press Enter once in the scene viewer. It should work after that!

Sounds like a long time. Laptops often run hot, so it might throttle during caching
I named the file without the $F4, which gave me only one frame with all the information from every frame. After fixing that, the cache time went to 3 minutes hahah
@@mnymanVFX Thanks for the answer, and for the tutorial too!
@@MarxFerreira Haha it happens to the best of us! Cache node probably got confused trying to recache from the beginning with each new frame.

in vdbactivate node use "Reference"
Same problem. Houdini 20.5. always the same. cant see it in viewport
How did you do the grouping and spacing at 2:32
Hold A and mouse drag with the nodes selected
