[@anastasiiadots3848]

Thank you for your tutorials!!!! Will be joining Patreon soon. You are very good at explaining 😊

[@graphicINmotion]

Thank you very much, Anastasiia!

[@sheldondrake8935]

hey man, your tutorials are great, thank you very much.

[@graphicINmotion]

You are welcome!

[@0x0abb]

great tutorial! How about a tutorial using grains to make explosions - the kind you see on beaches or in deserts

[@Ivan_Novgorodsky_]

Thank you for the helpful lessons. Will there be training on motion graphics? with simple examples of low-polygon objects

[@graphicINmotion]

Depends on what you understand under motion graphics. It’s a wide field.

[@graphicINmotion]

Do you have some references?

[@JuanGea-kr2li]

I'm watching it, when you enable the particle size check the randomness of the pscale is lost, does that mean that we cannot have grains of different scales?

[@LiMaking]

this is great!! I'm just wondering how I can change the form of the actual grain? where can I input for the grain to be shown as a specific objects? like a nuts or a rasberries?

[@graphicINmotion]

Check out instancing.

[@LiMaking]

@@graphicINmotion ok I will!! Thank you!

[@TheNemoff]

Hi, excellent tutorial very apreciated, I have a basic question that its give me problem, I have 3 objects ( same OBJ import file) sharing the vellum solver, I want the 3er object star the simulation in a certain frame, I keyframe it but nothing happends, the simulation star in frame 0, if u can give me a tips would be apreciated

[@graphicINmotion]

Use a DOP network setup with three Source nodes. You can animate each activation separately.

[@TheNemoff]

works for me! thanks, houdini is really hard, and even more hard if your not english speaker 😅, I will keep in tone with your future content

[@graphicINmotion]

@@TheNemoff yes, it’s really hard. I started five times with learning Houdini and gave up four times over the years 😄 But at some point it started to come together. Now I absolutely love it, but it is a constant struggle.

[@mansurnassybulin]

Is it possible to repeat the behavior of ferrofluids?

[@graphicINmotion]

In Houdini everything is possible. But I don’t know enough about ferrofluids, to give you any direction how to achieve that.

[@ClapClap4Sim]

Hello ! Is there a way to change the shape of a grain ? Im trying to make them look more like rice. Thanks !

[@graphicINmotion]

Sure, grains are just particles. Check out instancing. The only problem with a rice shape will be that the shape will not be taken into account by the collision calculation.

[@ClapClap4Sim]

@@graphicINmotion So theres no way to simulate rice falling into a bowl ?

[@danteuss88]

@@ClapClap4Sim since it's unanswered, there is, with rbd solver

[@ClapClap4Sim]

Yeah I figured it out haha@@danteuss88
