A tiny addition to my #SOPs to #LOPs AutoMat script that allows switching between the #material sets with one click, especially if you use multiple renderers (or if you don't want to utilize the Collect node for example) Get it from my GitHub github.com/keerah/Houdi... #Houdini #Solaris

Getting some interesting results with #CHOPs for #camerashake. The main idea here is to re-use the positional noise for rotation to simulate the camera's inertia. #Houdini #animation

My #DAZ to #APEX tools for #Houdini 20.5 got quite a few updates meanwhile. Now it includes auto agent setup, a useful #Kinefx retargeting helper, and more QoL and procedural updates. github.com/keerah/Houdi...

Thanks to a sponsorship from @sidefx.bsky.social we've made some big improvements to our USD and FBX downloads for models, as well as introduced a new MaterialX download option for all textures: www.patreon.com/posts/materi...

Updated my #DAZ to #APEX #Houdini setup with a lot a small fixes and QoLs github.com/keerah/Houdi... Neck joint added Fixes to thumb and eyelids orientations More comments See the readme for the full list Also tested it on a G8 character, will update it with the G8 version soon.

Diving deeper into the #kinefx constraints Loving how this lives already Even though I am a bit puzzled how I managed to make it work with all these dependencies 😂 @sidefx.bsky.social #houdini #rigging

A little overview of using #transform attribute to precisely control #sweep in #houdini. Just used sweep to model some organic stuff and dove a bit into the mechanics of it. Sweep is actually aware of many attributes, like trans, rot, orient, etc. So you have plenty of options, just read the docs :)

Working on this nice little thing for my local #Obsidian based #projectmanagement. Still #wip but I love it already. This is an interactive chart in Obsidian based on the time-tracking data pulled from #ActivityWatch. Data filtered by timespan and keywords, granular enough to isolate any job track.

Done quite a while ago in #C4D, ready to do even more fun in #Houdini now. Love mechanics! In character rigs things are very typical, and the most of its life comes from the animation, but in mechanics it's all embedded in the architecture itself #motiongraphics #chopper #helicopter #rigging

Testing a fresh #APEX rig. Now fluffy and #quadrupedal. Not perfect but already usable. I am gradually getting a grasp of all APEX components. For experiment I used splines for the spine, tail and tongue. @sidefx.bsky.social #houdini #rigging #characteranimation

How to seriously geek with #Obsidian 🤭 It changed the way I work and learn. I am a huge personal knowledge management #PKM enthusiast. Started using Obsidian.md a few years back and since then my usage of Obsidian has been extending progressively. garden.keerah.com (a wormhole to my vault)

CT scan reconstruction in #Houdini

By the way. Alt text is the way! Each pic can have #alttext of 2k characters in length. Plenty of space to use for a lot of details! #BlueSky FTW!

I still prefer to build all the main stuff in SOPs and then shape it however I want in #Houdini #Solaris. Here's my recent snippet to quickly move materials from SOPs to #LOPs. To make it work copy over the materials into a Mat library and set the shop_materialpath as Partition attribute. (alt txt)

Ha! Haven't tried it yet, but next time I need a #gif definitely will. "It iterates through every possible optimization combination the GIF format offers to find the absolute maximum quality possible based on the desired input file size."

My #DAZ3D to #Houdini #APEX setup is available on #Github now. Updated a few gears and added some more usage info. github.com/keerah/Houdi...

Bet you never used #Houdini FFT node. This setup was originally intended to be used for geo data filtering but also fun to play around as a generator.
