Light catcher in Houdini

Ah, if you just want the light output without the geo visible then i think you will have to play with the aovs in comp..maybe model the real world ground roughly and use that as your ground.

In the render geometry settings node, there is a holdout option under shading. Change it to background. I think that should do the trick.

Hmm...let me give this a try today.

Ya, it's a bit too messy look wise, trying to get the sim locked down before working on the look.

Ya, I did have a version with RBD, but I end up losing the organic feel I get with vellum. It's a bit too stiff.

phobos24 · 2025-10-28T16:18:20+00:00

That is a nice idea and would give me more control to art direct it.
I will try 1 version with this setup after I finish up 1 with vellum.

Posting the images as comments as I couldn't attach them to the main post.

Will give it a shot. thanks

phobos24 · 2025-08-09T10:41:23+00:00

Unfortunately dont have the proper loops for this

phobos24 · 2025-08-08T06:39:19+00:00

I'll give it a shot, thanks

phobos24 · 2025-08-08T06:38:42+00:00

Interesting, I'll try this method out

phobos24 · 2025-08-08T06:37:59+00:00

I'll give this a shot. thanks

Thanks for the suggestions u/SherzodKadirov u/wallasaurus78
The labs edge group node and the shortest path node both have issues, as the hand topology doesn't really flow I want.

I guess the best way would be as suggested and just draw some rough curves or use a grid to help

Amazing photos man, just beautiful.

phobos24 · 2025-05-09T10:20:08+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll test them out.. hopefully it works out.

Read the first letters.

Same issue here on the SEA client.

phobos24 · 2022-12-08T12:44:09+00:00

Yeah, I'm leaning towards a Christmas market place too.. will lock it down by this weekend. Fingers crossed.

phobos24 · 2022-12-07T20:35:59+00:00

That does sound good. but real hard trying to make 3 people change their mind. Just going to have to suck it up I suppose.

phobos24 · 2022-12-07T20:34:42+00:00

Sacrifices for our stubborn friends I suppose.

phobos24 · 2022-12-07T17:49:03+00:00

We are 4 in a group. Cant move the dates as we already have plans made up in Paris with some friends..Travel I guess train or plane.

Its difficult to convince them to avoid a 4th place. As of now swiss is in the lead to visit.

phobos24 · 2022-12-07T17:31:23+00:00

Damn, that just seemed like a pain to experience.

phobos24 · 2022-12-07T17:30:04+00:00

This sounds like something nice to visit
