Nice tutorial but a bit misleading though. You're not showing how to finish the effect shown in the teaser. Your example shows nice round liquid like shapes but if you just follow your tutorial you won't get there. I guess one has to play with VDB remeshing to create something similar.

[@oxvcontent1040]

Yeah that is pretty annoying.

[@MrSunamo]

It is a great tutorial for an interesting technique, but I agree, definitely misleading with that teaser.

[@Scknows]

It literally explains the entire effect lol, if you want it to be thicker just use polyextrude and export the back group with it, convert to vdb. done.

[@SandunLabs]

Sh_t I was confused and searching for this comment thinking am I very dumb..

[@Scarlov87]

Oh boy things really work in houdini! I came from the GDP procedural system from houdini itself and that makes you feel that you are not in control of the software, but this!! oh man thanks! that's a very awesome way of explain things.

[@Birkkromann]

Instant "The Crown" vibes 😉 Det ser lækkert ud - og perfekt når jeg lige er gået i gang med at lære Houdini!

[@MaxChe]

20:21 - saw the writing of the code... thank you, I think that's the end of this wonderful lesson, have a nice day 🤣

[@henrythejeditube]

Thank you so much Lukas, very fluid animation, looks stunning

[@lukasthorup]

Thanks dude 🙌

[@rohanmistry9592]

Awaiting for awesome tricks. Finally it came. Great tutorial.

[@raimuhammaduzairfareed7628]

The final result looks pretty cool I will see the full class later Thank you ❤❤😎😎

[@junechevalier]

Man, Houdini is growing on me... I'll see myself out

[@massimobaita7178]

Thank You very much, Lukas!

[@Aguiraz]

hell yeah! we want more houdini toturials!

[@marcosdevoto2026]

This is insanely amazing, subscribed!

Hey Lukas, I just came across your video today. Great work. Reminds me a bit of Panoply's project for what I think was a whiskey or bourbon commercial (some liquor) where they took a fluid container approach to animating these convoluted ripples on the surface of the bottle. A while back I tried to make something similar to that, but with a much more rudimentary approach. basically spreading an attribute infection from a few points on a character mesh, to get a sort of a flowing stripes type effect. I did use a vop noise to distort the stripes a little bit, but it didn't quite catch what I wanted to do. Your approach on the other hand hits the mark with this find shortest path driven attribute transfer. What I am looking to achieve in the way the pattern comes through is to have an infection driven stripes that have these little branching structures (the way you've done) but many of them and aligned along the direction of the infection gradient. What you would get in the end is something like the "ammonitic suture patterns" if you wanna google that, it's quite mesmerizing, and I think a variation of your set up would be the way to go about generating this in Houdini. Great tutorial man, inspiring!

[@lukasthorup]

Yeah I was also inspired by the Panoply project, but I'm not that crazy in Houdini yet. So I took some shortcuts.

[@hamaamdeen2066]

This is an amazing video. Thank you

[@esbenoxholm]

Hey Lukas! Super fedt. Tak for at dele

[@TheSiimur]

more houdini plssss

[@JMach4217]

I swear, Houdini is the least intuitive 3D app in existence lol. Awesome work though!

[@patrickl9930]

I don’t know, mograph in C4D is incredibly unintuitive once you get used to the logical flow of data in Houdini

[@chargedbystars]

hei hei, yes its frustrating if you only follow tutorials like this. He also has no clue what he is talking about. Start with easy and I mean, very easy stuff to get a basic grasp of what certain sops dops and vops do and go from there. Only come back with a basic understanding and you will have a lot of fund with this.

[@MotionAndDesign]

Ohh looking forward to this one!🔥

[@bao007fei]

Amazing tut, thank you for sharing

[@GrafxPlug]

Very cool! If I wanted to emit particles or smoke from the created "leading" edge, how would I do that?

[@cia5374]

He is backkkkkk lukaaa ❤

[@fazali3907]

amazing effect could you do a c4d version please

[@EverydayPancakes]

This is awesome! Is it possible to do this in Cinema4d?

[@nebojsavisnjic8155]

Instead of reversing ramp_3 maybe changing operation in pointwrangle2 to - greater than ">" - NOT "

[@MrJemabaris]

Just wanted to comment that. He even says "greater than", then types "smaller than" :D

[@kir11]

Thats awesome!

[@TheSiimur]

ur amazing bro! ty

[@chadbonanno5724]

thank you !

[@jamesmather7896]

Great tutorial, thank you. The only part of this that confuses me is the "input number 2" settings on promoted ramp2 - from -0.3 to .8 seems odd to me. I can't wrap my head around why you would do this. Why not 0 to 1?

[@xerol23]

Broo how can i add gold material on this effect plzz tell mee

[@nelsonduarte3573]

great tut, but btw how can i transport this effect to a vdb for example?

[@haresh3d]

Please, could you create the same effect in Cinema 4D?

[@lukasthorup]

I'll try 🙌

[@TomCushwa]

thanks

[@estupendo3939]

cool! CROWN :)

[@fazali3907]

hey Lukas any joy on a cinema 4d tutorial with this effect

[@picsartchannel9516]

Rød grød med fløde

[@tactycstudio]

❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@mdabu7180]

Hey thankyou so much for this, I am having trouble exporting it to alembic and it's not working, can you help?

[@xiaohu4086]

cool！
