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.

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.

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!

Particle FX in Houdini & Nuke is now open for enrollment!
voxyde.com/particle-fx-in-ho…
Particle and magical FX are some of the most exciting and creatively liberating effects to create in production. They offer a canvas for limitless visual imagination.
While this workshop cover particle workflows extensively, it also covers other areas such as destruction, procedural techniques, look development & much more.
See you soon!
I have been playing with #Vellum cloth and #Crowd agents in #houdinivfx as a study for an upcoming tutorial/course I am developing. Lovely how vellum is happy to sim it all as one sim, so that you get interactions between the characters' clothing if you need that. @sidefx #keeplearning
