More Houdini “Velocity Forces: Advanced” Optical Flow sneak peeks coming. This one is Vellum cloth.

[David Torno @aeioweyou]

More Houdini “Velocity Forces: Advanced” Optical Flow sneak peeks coming. This one is FLIP fluids. This particular effect has been around for a LONG time. So far these are all on XZ plane setups. Next steps will be on 3D geometry surfaces.
