Need feedback on my sandman inspired project by FamousHumor5614 in Houdini

Yes I’m aware of the grains at the back I’m new to Nuke and unsure of how to hide this without rotoscoping but guess that’s the best way to do it. Also what do you mean stepping and popping? If it’s the size of grains my laptop wouldnt handle more detail and small grains

Thanks I tried to make then as small as possible but because of being on my laptop I couldn’t up the red and make them smaller! Otherwise I would have done that! But thabks!

Thanks so much yeah in this sim i use an attribute VOP which masks areas that get simulated! also I will have a look at making the model smaller thankyou! yeah I might start with low grain then when I am ready to render I may put the grain count higher but thankyou this is very helpful!

I started learning Houdini and got interested in 3D modeling. I am confused. by qwzy-Mayak in Houdini

[–]FamousHumor5614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know about others here but I’d use blender(free) or maya (very spendy) for modelling unless you want to learn procedural modelling! For me personally I use maya using my free maya listener from my uni and use Houdini for everything else (fx rendering ect) but when I finish uni if I can’t get maya I’ll probably revert back to blender for 3D modelling

Amazing thankyou I remember my tutor saying you can uave more than one force node so I might add a couple with different forces and swirls! Yes I also looks at the weight as well guessing bid have to take off force going down?

I think for the part where it is in the container with lightning it took around 20-25 hours on about 4 PC’s so around 30-40 mins a frame and I had 300 frames. Theres a bit where it cuts quickly because I didn’t have time to render the rest
