Houdini - Procedural Modeling Tips! - Finding Curvature

[@haroldw2823]

Dude, That right there is a masterpiece. You are so fluent in your knowledge in Houdini. Well done mate, love it.

[@GangOfCritters]

Thanks Kenny! I'll enjoy watching this

[@MDA_01]

Super useful - many thanks!

[@donovanbaine8842]

way to go man

[@ribponce]

Fantastic stuff as always! Though I think I would have simply crossed the tangent to get the away-facing normals. Cheers, Kenny!

[@IndiePixel3D]

Thanks Ricardo! Yeah, I guess I could cross the tangent...thanks!:)

What was the Fuse node at 9:15 supposed to do? I do not see and changes to the points or prims after adding it

[@magneticanimalism7419]

Whoa! do you have a tutorial on how to make the geographic cut away section that you displayed in the beginning of the video? I've been looking for something like this.

[@IndiePixel3D]

I dont, but I'll make one to show ya how I did it.:)

[@magneticanimalism7419]

@@IndiePixel3D That would be so awesome thank you so much. :D

[@Kantuva]

HoudiniKitchen does have a tutorial on exactly that with their Lines And Curves tut kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYXdqmOHdrebpNE

@@Kantuva I created a race track course way before houdini kitchen released their curve tutorial. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4nKe2Slfad2pJI

After H19 the wrangle node where we remove the prims does not work anymore. if you slide the slider any nr higher then 0 it just removes everything. Anything I did wrong or is it H19 specific? Edit: FIxed it, I bypassed the attribute promote and then it worked. Also works if you dont switch it to prims.

I had this issue in v20 and fixed it by unchecking the "Connect Path" in the Convert Line node.

[@HyperNetix]

Would you also have a tutorial by any chance to find vertical curves? This tutorial has been really handy for curvature, but it isn't working for vertical curves which is what i really need atm.

[@JackiedFX]

Man, can I follow your content with the apprentice version? Seems I'm not able to get the engine with that one!

[@IndiePixel3D]

For any tutorial that doesnt include Hengine you can follow along with apprentice. For hengine stuff, it does require an indie license or higher.

[@JackiedFX]

@@IndiePixel3D ouch.... was also doing the bridge one! :(

[@IndiePixel3D]

@@JackiedFX yeah its unfortunate that side fx doesnt have a free apprentice version of hengine. You can still follow along with the bridge tutorial, just wont be able to put it into unreal.

[@omarhidoussi1557]

first haha , ur the best thank you

[@rstudiosvfx]

houdini I have always said that it is the best 3D software, but I think that this obstacle of learning vex programming is very difficult ... It seems that houidini do not think it for 3D artists, if not for NASA engineers!
