Thank you. Took me a while to find this. Thanks!

does anybody knows if it can works to attach mesh sockets to skeletal meshes? I've heard that wouldn't be possible to the way UE generates sockets. Anybody can confirm that though?

what a fstupid way to do this, I've been stuck with this for like 2 years, thanks for the video man.

Thank you so much. You've saved me

thanks

for anyone interested, a very similar result can be achieved by a boolean sop with mode set to 'detect' , expand the detection group to 'flood fill connected geometry' and blast this group. no need for a loop.

substeps and time scale may also help to improve a continuous flow

Nice tutorial. you should maybe multiply the alpha value by the velocity so particle fade out as they slow down. ( use fit or set a max clamp limit at 1 to prevent increasing opacity )

Past years they have updated the speed calculation there as default? In the pyro solver, so all this is outdated i guess? I was able to atleast just straight up use speed in the control field

This is interesting but here's an easier way: run the curve through a "PolyPath" node with "Connect End Points" and "Make Isolated Loops Closed" both checked. This will effectively turn the loop into a 2D shape (possibly if you look at it from the bottom) because all closed loops are considered to be geometry in Houdini. Then add a "Resample" node, followed by a "Smooth" node with a somewhat higher strength (optional). Then add a "Sweep" node with the "Surface Shape" parameter set to "Round Tube", and from the "UVs and Attributes" tab, enable them along with "Override Any Existing UVs". Done.

What about the code to restore the flow of water from the same model? I want to control the start and stop of the flow realistically using the code or another method. Please tell me?

Is there a way to do this but instead of referencing Materials, referencing Static Meshes or Blueprints inside unreal so I don't have to do it manually everytime? Thanks

It worked!! 😮

Great tutorial! Followed the instructions closely and got stuck playing yet another two sessions

Nice! I was looking for a tutorial on this, I'm making some water dripping from roof tops. I used you thing but had to convert everything to vdb, then volume, then poly but it worked!

it works!

You're a genius 🤣

What is the volume source part?? It's the one bit that isn't explained

Hey, thank you for this! Im moving forward to see the next one but this one gave me so much info already.

the whole remesh manu changed on Houdini 19.5 and even if i put adaptive, i dont see no effect

FYI changing frequency across space is rough. If you have a noise n a grid and put a gradient that goes from left to right in the frequency channel you will see some aggressive shapes. maybe because it is a force hidden inside a smoke sim that you cant directly see you may get away with it.

saved my ass

Allah razı olsun aşqom, diğer tutoriallarda asla bulamadım şu "intersection" meselesini... (kızılay)

Thank you for tutorial. Can you recommend some tutorial for building a shader for this in Unreal?

Thank you friend! Very useful video. You helped a lot. Fat like and subscribe.

that was incredible tips

you can try this: change the "density" to 1 refer to the scatter particle.

amazing thx bro

thanks, you've been very helpful

Thank you very much for this tutorial! Saved me so much headache!

thanks man <33

sir, you saved my life. Thanky ou so so so much. This is genius

@HoudiniSimon Wow, it really works! you saved my day!! Although I have a question. Suppose I feed the graph of the for each with points that belong to 3 different groups. How could I do so that the points belonging to the same group do not eliminate each other? Thank you

Hello, Simon! Thank you for such a great video I'm working on creating an HDA tool for Unreal as a part of my uni project. The question is if I can use an attribute in Unreal Engine to drive some parameters in my material instance. Basically, I spawn a lot of decals, and for these decals, I have a list of Textures (around 50) and more importantly, the system should be flexible enough to get a fresh list of textures and quickly integrate it into the system. I don't really want to go one by one and create material instances for each texture every time. That's why I'm looking for a smart solution for it. Are any ideas on how I can figure it out?

Thanks 🤝

say i want to render teh smoke, thne i guss i render it as a diffrent pass?

Tysm!

Thank you for a very good tutorial! So what is the Binding tab in the Turbulence? Isn't that also controlling the amount, like the Control tab? What is the difference between those? Thank you!

Hi there! a bunch of errors show in the Final Simon01 geometry node, any idea on how to fix them?

Thank you, King!

Thank you

thanks man

Can you add compile blocks this way too? I'm getting an error and not sure how to implement it

I have never seen anything like it before🙂

Hey Simon I think link to the hip file is broken

it is indeed useful! ty sir

Thanks man <3, exactly what i was looking for !!

Thank, Simon! Simple and handy!

I hate Houdini...

This is really amazing tutorial, good explainations, 100% helpful, I was looking for this so long time, thanks!
