Houdini FX MoGraph Tutorial - Generating Point Waves with VOPs

2019-11-14T16:57:00.000+07:00

3D - & VFX-Trainer Helge Maus, demonstrates, how you can generate a Point Wave with the help of Noises inside of VOPs. He explains the methodology to understand an effect and build the node setup step-by-step. You will learn the use of Noises, Bind- & Bind-Export Nodes, Parameter-Ramps, Fit-Nodes, Multipliers for Floats and Vectors and how to analyze the outputs through the Geometry Spreadsheet. In the end, you transfer the animated noises to the pscale attribute to render the effect in Mantra or an external render engine.

Helge Maus is a 3D & VFX-Trainer for professionals. You will find more information about in-house training, online coachings and vfx-academies at pixeltrain.de

MPM Cloth in Maya Bifrost

2019-10-27T23:03:00.001+07:00

Phil Radford shows how to create and work with MPM Cloth using Maya Bifrost Graph.

So now we have busted down another door into the new world of the bifrost graph editor, this time with mpm cloth. Some pinned notes : From Jixie Effects (makers of mpm) on sphere/cloth offset seen in this tutorial.
This is because the colliders are, by default, lagged by one frame, so the solver can see where the collider will go and provide more stable results. You can either turn this lagging off in the global settings (sometimes this causes instability), or you can introduce a one frame delay in the sphere motion through the Bifrost graph.
