[@matictoni9446]

Love this! Can you please explain how would one have to go and export this as an alembic file? Would we need to export two alembic files to texture this in Cinema and have two shaders?

[@denethvihara2259]

You just need to add a ROP alembic node to the final file cache node and in there, just change the frame range to "render frame range " and the file output location ( the settings in here are quite obvious, so there will be no problem following these steps 😉 ). After that, hit "save to disk" . After the export, you can import the alembic file into C4D and there, you will see a bunch of vertex maps, You can use them to create and separate materials ( That's why we used the node "attribute transfer"). Hope this helps you

[@rayanrahal795]

Thank you this was great, but i was wondering how to make the melted fluids interact with the remaining of the model while it's vanishing? ( to make RBD that vanishes the same way )

[@affectreflect]

You will need a sop solver for that.A little bit complex but nothing insane.

[@TheLizardKing752]

@@affectreflect my idea was to duplicate the particle system entirely, except in the new one have particles in the sphere deleted instead of turned to liquid. Then in the original sim, use that "subtracted" surface as an object to collide with similar to the ground plane. Doesnt seem to be working right now. I also moved the spheres to their own DOP network so everything is using the same set of spheres. Would probably be easier to do a ploygon boolean differece instead of the separate 2nd particle mesh.

[@TheLizardKing752]

I almost have it working, but now ALL the particle collide and move away from the unmelted mesh, not just the active ones.

Hi there, I followed everything through but around 18:11 where you plugged the pop fluid in, I don't seem to make it work when I plugged that in and it's with an exclamation mark but it doesn't indicate what kind of error that is from the note when I mid-clicked the pop fluid note, do you know what I could do wrong there?

[@NickShaheen]

I've done this tut 3 times using the apprentice version of Houdini 18.5. I keep getting to the last step, spending 3 hours simulating 2.5 million particles/mesh data only to end up with what looks like a single frame of cached data? If I close the program and reopen my sim is no longer in the viewport despite having all the sim files in the correct location. Learning new software is time-consuming and frustrating.

I am sure everyone would love it.I also bought the course of "widhi muttaqien" from skillshare.loving his course "Blender Fundamentals" Houdini courses would be appreciated buddy love you guys 🥰

[@CGShortcuts]

Thanks for checking out the course Uzair! At the moment we're concentrating on Cinema 4D stuff but we'll keep this in mind if we get back into Houdini. In the meantime you might like to check out our Houdini Jumpstart course here: cgshortcuts.com/product/houdini-jumpstart-course cheers!

Hi Kenny, you can start by downloading the project file from here for free (just add a 0) cgshortcuts.com/product/melting-stuff-in-houdini/ and practice the tutorial with it 👍

In the pop net, he added two pop color nodes containing black and white colors. you can use that as a mask in your fav 3d software. just make sure that when you export the animation, it has the Cd attribute in it. cheers.

I have a question about the ISO Offset node I bring in. When I turn the sampling up, I get these lines in the gaps on my object. I'm using a skull model. Think if your 3d printing something and it brings in the support beams. i get that in the mouth and eye socket. See here. Any way to fix this? i.imgur.com/IX3AFLE.png

When i bring the second PopNetwork, all point turn to giant black squares. Anyone know why that happen?

[@pequena_polilla]

Solved: While this may already have been figured out, I ran into this issue today and managed to fix it for myself. All I had to do was hit D (while hovering over viewport) and on the particles section of the geometry tab, make sure that display sprites was ticked off. Oddly enough it only occurred when I plugged in a mocapbiped via a file merge into a geometry particle set-up, as opposed to a sphere.

[@MasterPiffy]

lol i imagine you used a different mesh, because this happens to the particles when the mesh you use already has a material on it, i know its been a year but thats the solid answer
