Your tutorials are awesome, please do a lot more of those. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@trinumedia]

This is the first Houdini tutorial and was blown away. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing!

[@ErikBorchersVR]

Crazy that you did all of this in 2 hours! Thank you for sharing

[@geetee5505]

Fantastic work Simon, thats a really tight clean network. Inspiring

[@simonfarussell]

Lots of nice tips!

[@RonnieMirands]

Your tutorials are the best! Please keep them! :)

[@sergeyfilin5204]

Thanks, Simon! This is really useful!

[@lgtwzrd]

Pretty helpful tutorial, up to the point that the interface has completely changed on the newer labs nodes so it gets a bit confusing how to proceed, as I don't get the expected results on the preview.

[@massimobaita7178]

Thank You very much, Simon!

[@WillPreston3D]

is it me or does every release of houdini render all previous tutorials unfollow-able? the attribute noise node at 6:37 is unrecognisable now (to me). maybe there could be a translation chart online so users could switch to the new nodes properties

[@SanjarTheKingOfKings]

It's been 7 months, but Houdini has this functionality built in. By going to the Asset Manager, Configuration tab, you can set the Asset Definition Toolbar to 'Show Always'. This allows you to switch to older node asset versions by clicking on their name.

[@WillPreston3D]

@@SanjarTheKingOfKings yes, thanks, i found this out eventually, but thanks very much for taking the time to answer

[@QuinnKuslich]

Hey Simon. With this specific tutorial, at the beginning, you placed a transform node labeled "scale" in between the Merge 1 and "Copy to Points Node" What exactly does that node do, were you placing a variable that adjusts the scale variation of the individual rocks?

[@tigerija]

Thank you!

[@raydavid8087]

I like your tutorial so much, it's awesome！

[@jaddeeb510]

Very well done

[@danesskamoran]

Hi, your video was very detailed and helpful! But there's just something that I didn't understand. Could you explain to me how you transformed these volumes in the "copy to point" part? Because each one looks different. 5:15. Regards

[@simonhoudini5074]

Before that 5:15 , I talk about adding a random attribute value. So if each point has a random attribute called scale or pscale, this scale will then be used in the copy to points to scale the model based on the attributes of the points.

[@geocherk]

Thanks! Great tutorial!

[@黄海光-l4w]

Great tut！

[@yakgames2454]

Hey Simon fantastic video as always. One small problem I have SideFX Labs installed but cant seem to find that mesh sharpen node you used. Am i missing a trick?

[@magneticanimalism7419]

Try updating the tool perhaps

[@jakobschwarz3634]

hi there simon, thanks for the tutorial! just a quick question. I'm on houdini 18.0 with the newest Labs installed, but I can't find the triplanar displace? was it taken out? I'd really like to try that node.. any ideas? Thanks again

[@simonhoudini5074]

Try updating to the non-production build of Labs. This should be a toggle in the update menu

[@jakobschwarz3634]

@@simonhoudini5074 thanks! you saved my day :) cheers

[@RedBattalion9000]

Wish I get sample file of this...

[@KZLR]

How, or can you instance different versions of the rock instead of just the same one over and over? Thanks for the tutorial ! (As in, if I choose like 5 I like, and want to instance them all over a cave)
