Thanks! The object is transformed to look correct for one camera at a time. There’s a source camera and a target camera that transforms any input geometry.

Fun little sketch. Worked out some VEX to transform an object so it will look exactly the same relative to two completely different cameras. The cameras can be still or animated. And it works with imported cameras as well as imported cameras. #houdini #sidefx #vex #squab

I wish Smudge would somehow let me know when he wants some attention.

First Severance free Friday in a while… I do NOT like this!

Had to give the AF Watercolor @procreate.com Brushes a go. Loving these brushes. #procreate #illustration #watercolor

Smudge loves his hat.

Smudge makes it impossible to get any work done.

Thank you!

Another material / lighting / simulation exploration for a person project. The generation, color, and glow intensity of the particles is driven by music. #houdini #sidefx #karma #apex

I judge you to be pretty fuckin’ cool. 🤖 Love the robot!

They are black for me too.

Feeling pretty happy with how the particle sim is behaving. The simulation is driven by music. Frequencies are assigned to regions of the surface and source volume drives the speed and density of the particles emitted. #sidefx #houdini #simulation

Some material and lighting explorations for a personal short animation. I'm giving Karma a go this time and I am really impressed. The enormous VDB ~135 million points load and start rendering on the GPU in about 1 to 2 seconds. #houdini #sidefx #karma #solaris #APEX #usd 2of2

I am going to have some fun working my way through this starter pack. If anyone else has any music starter packs please share! I'd love to find some new music/bands/artists. go.bsky.app/L1PCVhT

This project/exercise has sent me down so many rabbit holes, checking references, and double checking that that really is what our skeleton does. I absolutely love projects that require you to learn truly interesting facts/details that normally don’t notice or understand.

More APEX rigging in Houdini: this is another example where rigging has helped me realize there's a lot more going on in our forearms than I had previously realized. Coming up with a rigging solution to get the proper radius rotation working was actually kind of fun. #houdini #sidefx #APEX #rigging

This custom APEX rig setup allows you to control each side of the rib cage as well as the sternum separately. You can also add secondary breathing motion with a dedicated control. #houdini #sidefx #APEX #rigging

Deep breaths... I had no idea how much our ribs move and are not rigidly fixed to our spine. Rigging the rib cage was much harder than I initially thought but I'm liking where it has landed. #houdini #sidefx #APEX #rigging

I'm loving your technique for adding color to your illustrations. Super simple but very effective.

Phenomenal linework and color.

We created a #SideFX #Houdini #3D @bsky.app account back in Feb, but it's been dormant since then. Time to change that – let's GO!

Nice seeing the custom APEX spine tools working with an actual head on that spine. #houdini #sidefx #APEX #rigging

I've made a little more progress with APEX rigging in Houdini. The jaw rig tool will handle setting up the blending between pivots and creation of the controls. Nothing fancy but I do like how APEX lets me save this to disc as geo and now I have a reusable tool. #houdini #sidefx #APEX #rigging

Thank you @tobigalle.bsky.social! I think with this animation I really figured out how I like to construct shots and loose (vague?) narratives.

a color coded image by Freya, comparing the summation and capital pi notation in math, to their equivalent in code using for-loops. The summation notation sums a set of elements, while the product notation multiplies a set of elements. Note that Freya is keenly aware that neither the math notation nor for-loops are fully explained by this image, and that this is only a subset of the use cases, so luckily you don't have to explain that to her, in case you were considering doing that!

btw these large scary math symbols are just for-loops

Controls are automatically created and placed by giving a list of names of joints. In this instance this setup works a bit better than the spine/spline autorigcomponents as they introduced a lot of drift between the joints #houdini #sidefx #APEX #rigging 2/2

I've been diving in and learning APEX rigging in Houdini for a personal project. I wanted to rig a spine and allow myself to pick an arbitrary number of controls positioned at specific joints and blend rotations for the between joints. #houdini #sidefx #APEX #rigging 1/2
