From Basics to Brilliance: Vellum Tutorial Series in Houdini (3/3)

[@FraztheWizard]

Great breakdown, thanks!

[@graphicINmotion]

Thank you!

[@jellsart]

Great series! It certainly helped me comprehend vellum better.

[@Teheiron]

Very nice seriers, it got really confusing when you started to use those shelf modes but still I have learned quite a bit. Thx!

[@graphicINmotion]

Yes, the shelf tools can create quite complex networks. That’s why I recommend beginners not to use them.

This was Super helpful thanks so much you are a really good teacher

[@graphicINmotion]

Thanks Ali!

[@philippwelsing9108]

Sooo good. Thank you!

[@graphicINmotion]

You are welcome, Philipp!

[@jaijiu]

so good! thank you

[@graphicINmotion]

You are welcome!

Do you have any idea why my Houdini might be crashing instantly when I try to play the simulation at 8:22 and 8:48? I just can't get past this part! Thank you!

[@graphicINmotion]

No, I have no idea. Maybe something in your setup is not right.

[@rubysnell6755]

@@graphicINmotion No problem, thank you

[@rubysnell6755]

If anyone else has this problem, it was a bug with the vellum pressure node in Houdini version 19.5.303. If you update it from that version, the node works fine :)

[@poroty1648]

Hello! I have a question.I have several objects that are connected to the vellum solver they fall at the same time, but I need the first one to fall first, and then the second one.Thank you in advance, you are the best!

[@graphicINmotion]

You could group your objects and use separated Vellum Source nodes on the groups inside the solver. Then you can key frame the activation. You could also do that in a DOP network.

[@albanl8979]

Thanks a lot but I don't get something, you say you can't add new geometry to the stream on basic SOP context but isn't that what you did on part 2 with the waffle thing ?

[@graphicINmotion]

You cannot emit new geometry during the simulation. The waffle is added before the simulation. But recently I discovered that you can use the vellum source node inside vellum solver in SOPs and emit geometry during the sim that way too.

[@albanl8979]

@@graphicINmotion Ho okay thank you very much

[@asr59]

Any reason why you used 2 splits instead of using 2 and it's 2 outputs? Thanks

[@graphicINmotion]

I just wanted to split each group individually. If I use the second output of the first split, I would get the other groups as one stream.

[@asr59]

@@graphicINmotion AHH thanks. So basically is like using two inverted blast nodes?

[@graphicINmotion]

@@asr59 yes, exactly.
