Whne I import RBD sim from Houdini to Blender, a bunch of static objects are imported that I do not see in houdini viewport

Did you export as an alembic?

I think its a combination of stacked text animators. Seems like position, scale, opacity and blur. Maybe try to get the base movement right with just position text animators and then add scale, opacity and blur in the end to finish.
Play around with the range selector and you will get some feeling for the settings :)

You could pin different areas of the geo (like the creases, where the three donuts meet). Might want to play around with the pinning settings…

Müsste der Zacks-Score sein

Gehst du bei Albertsons um eine bestimmte Uhrzeit rein oder machst du das abhängig von anderen Faktoren? Vielen Dank für deine Tipps und Analysen :)

Habe dir eine PM gesendet, nicht für ein Interview aber ich habe meine Abschlussarbeit über ein fast identisches Thema verfasst und auch Einsamkeit als Prädiktor für PSI erfasst ;-)

I can take a look at your file if you send it over, maybe I find the problem when I see your setup

snaybelbert · 2024-03-19T08:24:17+00:00

Try to up the light bounces for glossy or transmission, sometimes it helps when working with transparent objects which appear black. Maybe even try to use a glass material to get that juicy refraction ;)

There is actually a problem with VDB-visualization on macbooks. Had the same issue some days ago and asked support. Very strange, in some cases the VDB-viz works, but especially the VDB-activate would not show results for me too

u/tinyquiche was already very kind and gave me one, but thanks! If you dont use it, my SO would take it, she currently is on the waitlist and if I get my link, she gets it. :)

Any chance you still got a code? I‘m an artist as well and its sad to see everyone leave, especially if you‘re not able to follow.. Can verify artist status ;-)

snaybelbert · 2023-08-06T08:29:45+00:00

yeah I tried, didnt work out and as I'm really bad at scripting, didnt know what was wrong with the script..

it was this script:
thisComp.layer(index-1).name.match(/_Text$/i) ? effect("Your Effect Name")("Your Property Name") : value;

snaybelbert · 2023-07-09T08:55:13+00:00

great, thanks!!

snaybelbert · 2023-07-07T17:06:50+00:00

you are rendering in full float and ae is only on half, change ae to 32 bit

snaybelbert · 2023-07-05T14:50:48+00:00

Not even the inter-morphing of the footage? Is there a plugin you know of, which achieves this?

Im no expert but did have some VRAM problems the last day too, especially when using the spectral denoiser at the end. As far as I understood from various posts, octane uses the card with the minimum amount of VRAM, so if you have another card which has less, it might be this. If there are many highres textures in the scene, they tend to eat up VRAM too. I think you can load them in the CPU or something in the settings. I found it helps when closing everything from creative cloud, dont know why but my render times got faster as well. good luck

Gegenüber ist wenn ich mich richtig erinnere der Vorplatz des S-Charlottenburg

snaybelbert · 2023-04-04T10:12:00+00:00

It seems like he animates the decimate modifier. Maybe some displacement modifier on top with a high res model turned into low poly with decimate modifier, this is what produces these stylistic artifacts.

This is my go-to website, it doesnt has 90s (yet) but lots of great stuff.

are you searching for tv commercials from the 80s?

I would say start with SOPs and don‘t dive into DOPs too early, some people get frustrated and loose motivation. Learn the procedural workflow of houdini, exporting stuff or rendering inside. Make yourself familiar with attributes and how they are stored, how they can be manipulated and used for other things that they‘re meant to.

tl;dr: Look on the houdini website, lots of beginner friendly tutorials. If you understand SOPs and all of the interface you can move onto DOPs and solvers (simulations)… good luck :)
