Released "settle" for #houdini. It finds viable rotations for any input model. It's on sale right now with a free demo version

Implemented "Putting Rigidbodies to Rest" in #houdini to generate plausible transforms for geometries without simulation

My erosion filter is out! Video, blog post, and shader source.

It emulates erosion without simulation, so it's fast, GPU friendly, and trivial to generate in chunks.

Added adaptive subdivision and uv rotation to the #houdini Atlas Mapper, which enables sweet truchet tiles

Thank you! There must be something similar for Touchdesigner out there, for that realtime flexibility 🤔

@sidefx.bsky.social recently published the 3 ML projects I built during my time in Toronto :) If you want to teach Houdini how to understand your drawings, learn how to build an ML groom deformer or how to use PCA to dejitter animations, you can find the files and tutorials on their website!

Ported Kubelka Munk Colormixing to #Houdini COPs!

It's incredible to play around with, lovely experience!

Yeah alright... bluesky fucked that video up even more, but I guess it's the right spirit :D

Released my #houdini pixelsorter on gumroad!

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.
