Efficient techniques for realistic small scale Tendrils, Droplets and Sheets in Houdini

This is a quick tutorial designed for intermediate users in Houdini guiding on quick workflows for creating realistic small scale droplets, tendril and sheets fast and efficiently

[@pauloeditdesigner]

simply the best houdini tutorial seen so far

[@ryanluca7763]

best video on small scale flip that i could find, would love to see more

[@tomroohan]

I could listen to your voice all day

Great Tutorial thank you! Could you share a quick hint how you are meshing the partilces? Unfortunately my mesh is flickering in the slow motion.

[@AboutJOB-dq6pj]

wow, It's useful for me. Thank you for sharing it!!

[@gabrielfranke9100]

So simple explaned and so effective. Just Awesome! Please can you do another Video about the refining of the fluid to make it render ready?THX

This is a great tutorial, but please also consider making one on efficient meshing of the generated flip. Would really appreciate it. 🙏

[@SuperVayn]

Most definitely, i just need to get some time to do it. Il try every two weeks or so for a tutorial from now on!

[@abrahamjerez7492]

@@SuperVayn very very good tutorial, ill be waiting for minutes the meshing tutorial!!!!!

[@alchemysounds9035]

only put the "particle fluid surface" node after the retiming, and that is it :)

[@djilaliachour1578]

Great tutorial... Many thanks

[@maximostromogilsky188]

very nice tut! I learned a lot. Didn't know about the timescale. I basically experimented with every parameter but that one.

[@SuperVayn]

yea its a balance between the two for me, though the problem side is that you'll have to have large storage for all the extra data. but if it looks good.. oh well!

[@alexmonk2235]

How would I be able to export the Particles to an .abc without the static object being exported?

[@fabiosobrin6648]

Master!

[@SuperVayn]

Haha! Not yet but thank you Fabio!

[@cmolfino]

do you have reseeding turned on? I had some problems with timeblend.

[@kantz7375]

How complex is the rendering / texturing the final thing for redshift?

[@kartikeye]

I have been following your work for sometime now. And it is amazing. Thank you for this video. Please provide some tips for good meshing of the flip as well.

[@SuperVayn]

Thank you so much! I will work on a meshing tut soon!

[@angelica1858]

how do you get the dotted background in ur node network?

[@tomasb.t1252]

As if I’m looking for a tutorial, recognise the accent and find someone else from Kenya. Good stuff man. Are you working in Kenya or out the country?

[@SuperVayn]

haha! Cool, I am working in Kenya!

[@utubeparpankaj]

Ver Nice, Keep up 💦

[@laeternaml]

Excellent tutorial, very useful! Do you know why using the Retime node is messing my fluid geometry? I have distortions in every directions the mesh kind of explodes I don't know why.

[@laeternaml]

Answer: Disable 'Union Compressed Fluid Surface' in Particlefluisurface node.

[@raasukk4419]

Great tutorial! Would you be able to share some information regarding starting flip sim on certain frame? Let's say I need it to start the sim on frame 55 instead of 1 as it's default. Thanks!

[@SuperVayn]

Hey Raasu! Inside the "dop network or AutoDopNetwork" you can go to the volume source node and in the "Activation" setting right at the top you can add the expression $F>54 or $FF>54 which will tell Houdini that the start frame should only be after frame 54

[@raasukk4419]

@@SuperVayn Thanks for that! Unfortunately they won't work for me, for some reason. I added volume source node, to the vellum solver and typed the expression to activation. Still starts the sim on frame 1.

[@raasukk4419]

@@SuperVayn Update: Setting the creation frame to what ever you want in flip object did the trick :).

I'd say it's beyond nice sheets, it's classic shitsss 😎
