Mixing Fluids & Colors (No Vex/No coding) - Houdini quick tip

[@Merkvilson]

A few months ago, I uploaded this tutorial on my Patreon page, but since most of my patrons are C4D users, I decided to unlock this video on KZbin. Hope you'll enjoy. Cheers!

Thanks for your generosity and knowledge! Its a great video :)

[@aujourdhuiMotion]

Thank you so much for the very clear tutorial! :)

hi i like this 1 but there is problem in new houdini 17 there is no sourcevolume node hence i cant find the solution for volume path plz help me out

[@yoyoz333]

do you know how to do it in C4D?

[@jhc577]

@@swapnilandraskar its still there, it just looks a little different, and is called volume source now I believe.

[@juanecheyt]

I wish all tutorials were as simple and straightforward as this one.... Thanks a lot.

[@KevRyanCG]

This was incredibly helpful, and way handier to do then I would have expected. Thank you very much!

nicely done, very simply demonstrated.

Very good tutorial, fluids are challenging but this is well explained and straightforward,, thank you for sharing

This is a really great tutorial, very step by step. Thank you.

I did it with houdini 18 some differences. I downloaded the file for houdini 17 and made the adjustments. It worked. Thank you.

[@everydayhero3610]

@@mjparent222 Could you please describe how you overcame the differences in Houdini 18? I can't work it out. Thanks

Thank you!!

awesome

[@pieterschillemans7467]

Great tutorial ! Is it possible to cache the final polygonal mesh ?

[@Akimyp]

Thanks for the great tutorial! I downloaded the updated Houdini 17 version but have another question: it it possible to keep the fluid source active instead of turning it off like in the video?

[@octoghost3470]

does this tutorial work, if you want two separate objects to emit two different colors to mix with each other? like one blue and one red to mix? thanks.

[@teammagiclamp8769]

how can i render this in arnold houdini ? can you give me any hints

[@xtremmontagevideos6261]

hello, I do not understand I have everything that has disappeared, I do not see any animation, I see flat particles which do not move depending on whether I click on merge or other otherwise I do not see anything, I have checked everything twice tutorial, i'm exactly like you on the video, where do you think it came from?

[@byTwest]

If anybody gets lost like I did getting the volume source to work, just utilize the shelf tools and dig through what Houdini does. Best way to keep with the updated practices

[@Atimo133]

Hey Tyler, i tried but i can't seem to find the problem :(

[@HoudinifxAlfredosanmartin]

miscibility I think it's, great work

[@SansP3ur]

Unfortunately h17 has changed the sourcevolume dop [3:20] in some way. It doesn't look anything like the video where you get the blue spheres. My screen simply remains blank.

[@robleymcdonnell]

You now set your source type at SOP level (after the attribute create). In this case you'll create a FLIP source there to be referenced by your volume source in DOPs.

[@ericsanderson2236]

@@robleymcdonnell I feel like ive done what you say (but want to confirm to be sure) but still don't see the particles. I added "flip source" to each object after attribcreate, before merge. In dopnet > volume source, initialize Source FLIP, SOP Path = /obj/box_object1/Fluid_Source. Is this what you mean?

[@amirlalenia]

cant find source volume node in new houdini

cant find source volume node! 😭😭 (H19)

volumesource is now named

Anyone tell me how to render this, outside houdini

[@adnanerochdi6982]

search for Alembic

Hi Chris, I wonder if you could share again haha, thanks@@christiankelch7343

[@JL-yz7by]

I can't for the life of me get this to work in 17.5. I've watched the video through three or four times so I'm guessing it may be a change on the software side...

[@robleymcdonnell]

I commented below earlier but the main difference is that you set your source type after the attribute create by adding a FLIP Source node there to be referenced inside of the DOPnet. Do that and the rest should work. Stress on should.

[@MaxChe]

Too hard, how can you learn such a thing?

[@popothecatathome]

looked way better before you xferred it into a VDB

[@Atimo133]

Nerver trust the particle preview we often underestimate just how much resolution one needs for a saucy fluid sim

[@kierangfinch5123]
