Tonight (4/15/2026) I'm going to try to build something like these porcelain pieces by Linda Lopez: https://t.co/ApyQud3hHG. We'll try to take a look at both a procedural and simulated method.

Tonight (3/18/2026 at 6pm EDT) we're going to make something for Mardini. We could do today's prompt "Organic", or even one of the other days. It's up to you! Hope to see you all then.

Tonight (1/28/2026 at 6pm EST), with the series ending over the holidays, we're building a #StrangerThings inspired portal. We'll use #Vellum to animate it breaking apart and healing. This will probably be a multiple week project, but we'll see how far we get.

@MSchwugier Love it! Glad to have other people doing Houdini live streams.

[HoudiniHangout @HoudiniHangout]

Tonight (1/7/2026 at 6pm EST) we're going to get back to streaming after the holidays! To ease back in, we're going to do a Q&A session. We do these from time to time, and they're usually a lot of fun. Bring your thoughts and questions!

Tonight (11/26/2025 at 6pm EST), I'm going to try to finish up the laser project that I started last week. This time we'll add some volumetric effects to try to make the scene a lot more dynamic.

Tonight (11/19/2025 at 6pm EST) I'm going to try to create some lasers using some of the new tools in #Copernicus. Last time I wasn't so successful, but I'm hoping that this time we'll come up with something much better.

Tonight (11/12/2025 at 6pm) we're going to try to work with some fluid sims, and make slightly sticky collisions. I've had a couple of questions about this on the Discord, so it would be worth trying out. Hope to see you then!

Tomorrow night (11/05/2025 at 6pm EST), we're going to have Kate Xagoraris as a guest. She's worked on a couple of really interesting HDA toolkits for star catalogs and proteins. It should be a great chat with a lot of science nerdiness!

Tomorrow (10/29/2025 at 4pm EDT) we're going to have Valentina Malavasi join us. She'll be talking about some of her projects that she's worked on as a student at #BUAS. Her work focuses on bridging #Houdini and #Unreal. Hope to see you there!

Tonight (9/10/2025 at 6pm EDT) we're going to try to connect a #Copernicus Flow sim to a #Vellum sim. We'll use the velocity from one to drive the other. Hope to see you there!

Houdini 21 is released! Tonight (8/27/2025 at 6pm EDT) we're going to open it up and play around with some of the new features. There are lots of features that weren't covered in the Keynote, and we'll try some of those. Bring your questions!

Tomorrow (8/20/2025 at 4pm EDT), we're going to have @PaulEsteves28 as a guest on the stream. We'll tackle a few questions he's been asked online, and then we might look at rendering his Copernicus effect (https://t.co/qalqLDfNA7) in Karma.

Just a reminder that we'll have Danny Laursen as a guest tonight (8/13/2025), but this time starting 2 hours earlier at 4pm EDT. Hope that will be a nice change of pace for any Europeans wanting to watch.

Come join us to talk about Danny's awesome flower workflow and HDAs!
