Mograph Liquids | Mark Fancher | OFFF HIVE

In this talk, I'll be presenting a few techniques for creating "fake liquid" effects in Houdini. By "fake", I mean non-simulated effects that appear liquid-like in terms of stylized motion design. This is basically volume-building on steroids. I'll be sharing some setups I've created and used in production that lean heavily on the VDB toolset to achieve super flexible control over liquid-like behavior in SOPs.
Mark Fancher is a self-taught artist with over a decade's worth of experience working in computer graphics. He specializes in simulation and procedural design in Houdini in his work as a Senior Motion Designer at Already Been Chewed, and has worked with brands such as Under Armour, Adidas, Nike, and New Balance. He is also the creator of the “Stop Being Afraid of Houdini” course on Mograph.com.

MARK!!! MA BOI! LETS GO!!! Always a pleasure to see your expositions!

[@yakymoto]

That's awesome, thanks for the demos.

[@travislrogers]

Brilliant work!

[@VuPhamRainstorm]

brilliant used of VDB and execute on transition attribute for design

[@Pierronomate]

cant wait for a new video with mark

[@xrossfader]

That tease of dope velocity forces at 8:20 though...

[@spaczech90]

Amazing, talk! Real talent ... I really learned something as well.

[@timothybladel84]

THius is something I would have liked to get out of this. It l ooks like a nice build.

[@philippwelsing9108]

Try MOPS Spread Falloff. Almost exactly the same as Mark's HDA

@@RibeyeconAdventures it's around 52 actually, but unfortunately he doesn't go deep on how to create the solver. I'm dying for something that could replace my CHOP's based spring solution :( haha

[@philippwelsing9108]

@@rodrigoribeiro4878 Check 35:07. He dives into the solver and you can see the code. That thing works like a charm, thank you, Mark!!
