@danialghods_ we are going to see a seal jump on and sun bathe on that rock... right? :D

I'm making a physics simulation game. It's computed on GPU, allowing big dynamic destructible world. I haven't decided on gameplay yet, this video is a collection of experiments.

@BockJakob Love this, such a “simple” problem that often requires complex solutions to do naturally. This will speed up things for sure.

Free Houdini module just dropped.

Learn the fundamentals behind FLIP:

• Volumes & fields
• SDFs / VDBs
• Gradients & curvature
• Advection

Build a FLIP solver from scratch.

Understand what’s actually happening under the hood.

Some physically driven animation for your Wednesday afternoon. After months of trying to get RL to look nice, I've switched over to good old procedural animation.

[Rohan Dalvi @RohanCreates]

This was a fun little exercise. It takes about 4 minutes to render this at Full HD on my 3080ti. (I'm assuming COPs uses the GPU to render.). I'll record a tutorial for this on my patreon this month.

@scottpetrovic There is a serious lack of quadroped / creature auto-rigging / mocap retargeting tools or services around. I understand it's many times more complex than the very much figured out biped character, but the need is certainly there.

[Thomas K Christensen @SquidbeanThomas]

@DukeGunston So good! Haha

[Thomas K Christensen @SquidbeanThomas]

@janhebein It’s about data collection, not making it an easy experience, that’s easy to do, but if they all share an app, who owns the data? They have their own app because they have rights to whatever you give when signing up

[Thomas K Christensen @SquidbeanThomas]

@RohanCreates You got a cops video out? I need some basics soon :p

[Thomas K Christensen @SquidbeanThomas]

@RohanCreates Looks great though!

Lightning Spear - The final update for Ultimate FX Workshop.

In this bonus shot we will create an epic lightning spear throwing scene. We'll build and expand on the techniques we learned in the previous modules, but also learn how to create new FX like pulsating smoke, directional smoke and particles and much more.

A big part of this shot are the procedural effects driven entirely through noise, without any simulations. We also create a few FX layers directly in nuke through compositing, speeding up the workflow.

This update is available for everyone who enrolls now or is currently enrolled.

Thank you for all the support!
