the guy behind Morphin ( @morphinapp.bsky.social ) has been busy working away at something. He just released a teaser, it looks amazing! if Morphin was a rigging and animation tool, this is that, plus painting, interactivity, materials, fx.. its huge. www.youtube.com/shorts/G2OF5...

My MOPs course on Houdini.School is now free! If you want a start to finish course on how (almost) everything works, plus the math background, you can watch it all here: www.houdini.school/courses/mops...

Look at these wonderful things

absolute insanity. a mad genius. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IgM...

Slippy.... 🏂 #b3d #eevee #RealTime

A little procedural digital puppet thing in Blender #b3d #RealTime

Third challenge of the @cgwiki.bsky.social #sidefxhoudini #vexember 2025. Some brain candy

challenge two in this years @cgwiki.bsky.social discord #vexember. This is some lerping and some simple vector addition, nothing wild!

it is happening again. IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. fun vex challenges on the discord, come join, be vexed (in a good way), let Stephan and co school you on making lovely fun things like this.

added a few more old ones feat. a soap bubble, geometry frequency separation, unwrapping CT scans of ancient scrolls (loud), shoe CFD (loud)... i sure have done some silly things in this Application

bunch of houdini things for nerds who are into that github.com/lcrs/_.hips#...

Based on a 2d sketch by Clayton Stillwell, created in @nomadsculpt.com

😬

25 years in CG, its all been leading to this. @nomadsculpt.com and @morphinapp.bsky.social are to blame.

Lovely talk by Danial Ghods about the Houdini community, specifically the cgwiki community. I'm filled with the warm and fuzzies after watching this! youtu.be/QJSeBbWzUYw

New at #SIGGRAPH2025: Can we make Perlin Noise stretch along some underlying vector field? Well it turns out it's possible with two simple additions to the original method! No need for advection or convolutions. Find the paper and implementations here: github.com/jakericedesi...

Adding forces to individual limbs in ragdoll (thanks WaffleBoyTom!) tokeru.com/cgwiki/Houdi...

Check out my new animation, it's about your coworker eating your food youtu.be/KAtH3UKxzLo Shout out to Hellavision Television and Loose Frames for hosting the "Hell Fables" episode. That's why I made this

Of course had to port it for Houdini dailyhip.wordpress.com/2025/07/23/e...

Now with sound! The head is now springy too. I could do this all day (but probably shouldn't, just rotating the hips in realtime, so much fun! Made in @morphinapp.bsky.social

Fun rigging test in the next build of @morphinapp.bsky.social . The tail and arms bones have spring constraints, just wiggle the hips, all this lovely motion comes for free.

Next update is going to be huge!! Lots of improvements too 🤯 #morphinapp #3danimations #blender #ipad #nomadsculpt

strudel.cc has consumed my life, code based music in the browser. Follow the link, change code, make your own liquid drum and bass banger (unmute, obviously) : tinyurl.com/strudeldnb

Peek at what our team is up to, cool stuff! In Erroll's words: "#SyntheticData powers cutting-edge algorithms on #AndroidXR like Hand Tracking, Face Tracking, and more. 🦾 At #CVPR2025 ? Attend our tutorial (June 12th) to dive deep into Android XR's Perception stack."

woo, the graduation film from UTS ALA (where i used to teach) from last year is online: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tqw...

What if connecting different apps was this easy? What if you didn't have to bother the IT department each time you wanted to automate something... Would your workday look different? Could you get more done? Would you have more time for the things that matter? #Automation #AI #Magpai

I reckon Ben is onto something here...

Morphin has had another big update. Location/rotation/lookAt constraints, support for dense meshes, mixamo fbx import, lots of other things. Go get it!

Next week I'll be giving a talk at EPC on how we create the world of @playpaxdei.bsky.social Hope to see you there, tickets still available! www.everythingprocedural.com#conference

Apex is still pretty scary and new for most existing Houdini artists, but there’s no need to be scared anymore! Matt (@cgwiki.bsky.social) will provide a jargon-free explainer of Apex at #EPC2025! Get your tickets now: everythingprocedural.com #everythingproc #ProcGen #Apex #GameDev

I wrote a little primer on rigid body dynamics in Houdini after seeing a lot of similar questions online. Bullet is a pretty deep rabbit hole to fall into and there's a lot of legacy stuff that's very confusing for new artists... hopefully this helps you get started! www.toadstorm.com/blog/?p=1123

Great intro to Solaris from Matt Tillman. Watch it right now. youtu.be/WfC16LYYIAw?...

guys, i think something's gone wrong with ai i sent deep research away to redo my landing page for my saas, and im just left here doing the bloody dishes... is it too late?

I know it’s a bit uncool to linkedin-post on here but we’re hiring at work, I’ve been looking at quite a lot of showreels, so I wrote up some tips for making a great fx reel #vfx www.linkedin.com/pulse/creati...

I've recently finished writing my first tutorial for Copernicus in Houdini, building a tri planar projection in cops with opencl. I hope it's useful for someone! richardcope.github.io/tutorials/tu...

I’ve been falling behind on the houdini posts. As compensation I offer you… a trex dancing to reggaeton.

My 'do everything on an ipad' obsession continues. Recorded a full stream of taking a sculpt in Nomad, prep it, send it over to Morphin, rig and animate. Skip the first 3mins of OBS tech mutterings... youtu.be/1zENby4Fzt0?...

sculpted in @nomadsculpt.com , rigged and animated in @morphinapp.bsky.social .

New update available on the App Store, make sure to update to v1.9! lots of good stuff #morphinapp #3Danimation #rigging #ipad #nomadsculpt #blender

Cool to see all the sculpts I've done in the last few years back to back, I could almost fool people that I'm a 3d artist...

Realised I hadn't updated artstation in a while... www.artstation.com/mattestela1

BoC makes anything better, even a simple jump cycle. testing keyframing the camera, slowmo, ik, post processing. The only keyframes here are position keys on the pelvis, pretty neat. #morphin @morphinapp.bsky.social

Part of the reason wiki posts have slowed was while Vitepress is fast for end users, it was a bit of a chore for me to edit and publish the site. Thanks to the amazing @vochsel.com , I now have a slick publishing workflow that's pretty much automatic. Thanks Ben!

Roll the clip 🎥🎬 (Made with Morphin App 🍿) #morphinapp #ipad #blender #animation #mobile #design #nomadsculpt

Morphin just hit v1.7, there’s updates to mocap recording, IK, keyframe nudging, few other things. Had a go at copying a trashcan anim someone mentioned in discord, this is layering recordings for lid, body, mouth, eyes.

It is official! I'm speaking at conferences again! After a 10 year hiatus, I am going to be giving a talk at Paradiso Fest in Mérida Mexico in mid March. paradisofest.com I am very excited to be part of this stellar lineup and I look forward to seeing many of my conference friends again.
