#vexember challenge 4 for 2025.
No dops, no solve, just some simple vex concepts sequenced and timed well enough.

Third challenge of the @cgwiki.bsky.social #sidefxhoudini #vexember 2025. Some brain candy

challenge two in this years @cgwiki.bsky.social discord #vexember. This is some lerping and some simple vector addition, nothing wild!

dusting off my account to inform you that #sidefxhoudini #vexember 2025 has commenced over on the @cgwiki.bsky.social discord. Kicking off, we're keeping it simple with some basic attribute animation through code to get what could be a loading animation, fui elements, etc.

I also did try flow a long while back and didn't hate it either, haven't seen the newest incarnation but both of these are probably great references for everyday usability

simple sliders for in and out easing, button to "audit" an existing pair and retrieve the curve, lots of utility from sparse inputs

definitely look at AE mt mograph "motion" for an amazing UI around quick easing tasks

thank you! I'm imagining it's on some kind of retro-futuristic CRT display on the command console of a ship headed for a deep-space mining colony...

for #vexember 4 we're escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism: space!
And just like the empty void so should our network be empty but for one solitary attribute wrangle. I'm counting on you commander

for #vexember 3 we step away from fancy models and instead focus on some basics around values over time.

on #vexember challenge 2 we are rebuilding. no sim, no pathdeform, no mops, vex the planet!

Tonight (12/04 at 6pm EDT), I'm going to try my hand at the CGWiki's first #VEXember challenge. We'll be doing as much with VEX as I can possibly muster in a couple hours. As always, questions and comments are welcome.

#vexember 01 - hard mode

very "cute" and not at all nightmare inducing

@cgwiki.bsky.social discord is doing another #vexember this year, relaxed this time with a new challenge every 4 days or so. This is 01:

said this on discord but this is one of my favorite pieces of yours with equal parts great art direction and clever musical details. Inspiring!

NEW WORK!
This is an extract of a music visualisation piece I did for Nik Bärtsch and Ronin for the documentary Ingredients For Disaster (OUT NOW!)

Full project: simonfarussell.com/Nik-Bartsch

Made in Houdini and AE @sidefx.bsky.social

your work is always so inspiring and kinetic, excited to see what you cooked up!

thanks, houdini-sphere is still a bit small on here, I appreciate the effort
