Chain SOP | Adam Swaab | Houdini 18.5 HIVE

From the Houdini 18.5 HIVE (Originally broadcast October 29, 2020)
The new Chain SOP in Houdini 18.5 has a lot of great features for spacing items along a curve. But what do you do with that geometry after layout? What are good practices for bringing it into a simulation environment, for maximum creativity and efficiency? Adam is going to do a walk-through of the chain SOP and then show how it was leveraged to create one of his motion graphics pieces.

He believes in harnessing the procedural nature of Houdini, as well as its world class simulation environments, to create stunning designs and animations that exist outside the world of traditional vfx.
