    Houdini fountain

    I tried creating this effect a couple of years ago but "Pop fluid" wasn't added to Houdini yet also the fluid sourcing back then was different, so I recreated it making sure it's up to date. Tool's features: - Two elements (Main water stream / mist). - Meshed using "Particlefluidsurface". - Scale by age with randomness. - Has some nice quality that allows some close up shots. - Render/shaders used Redshift.

    Houdini Volume trail (Lsystem tree)

    It's fun yet challenging going into volumes and VDB, as the title says it was created using volume trails poly wire was added later with a variant thickness along the path (I used for each loop to create an attribute for each trail). After that I converted the mesh into a VDB to merge those trails into one blended mesh, but please pay attention not to use isoOffset it's damn slow and single threaded. This scene contains around 4.5 million particles and one of the things I a

    TP Sand Logo

    A slightly modified version of the sand solver, it gave me more control and interesting results than the conventional way of just using some wind turbulence. You can see this in the sand chunks that get eaten by time. Regards Alaa Al Nahlawi #sand #3dsmax #tp #thinkingparticles #krakatoa #particles

    TP Sand Man

    A step forward from my previous video, I tried to apply the sand effect to a deforming object which was a bit of a challenge. But I was able to achieve sth here I tracked the surface velocity and applied it to the 20,000 volume particles while physics and joints are active, joints started to break gradually based on velocity and collision. Those particles at a later stage drove 1,000,000 which will give the sand look, and I also grabbed the texture coords from the unwraped Zo
