Awesome, thank you!

best intro to volumes ever. so great

[@vitalizahar9343]

The best tutorial on volumes. Many thanks.

[@mostafazakaria701]

you helped me alot even in my exams last semester thanks voxyde for sharing everything

[@donkastudio714]

Great tutorial. Keep it coming.

[@Hardnine9]

Amazing Tutorial buddy, as always! The most comprehensive courses and all that for free! Thanx for providing in the community

[@voxyde]

Thanks a ton! Do you mean increasing or decreasing values? I use the scroll wheel for that. Regular scroll is 0.1, ctrl + scroll is 1.0, and shift + scroll is 0.01 , pretty handy

[@Hardnine9]

​@@voxyde pff so oobvious 😅 thanks a lot!

[@voxyde]

@@Hardnine9 no worries I didnt know about it either for quite a long time!

Is anyone else running on Apple Silicon? [Edit: From the little I can find online, it seems that features like AO (ambient occlusion) for volumes is missing with the Mac build (20.5.410) - probably due to current MacOS/hardware graphics support limitations.] The Pyro Bake Volume node doesn't give the detailed smoke as seen in the tutorial. (I downloaded the tutorial files to compare, and the result is the same with both my scene and the downloaded project file - the smoke is flat, yet the scatter looks fine.) [Edit: Adding another case. With Apple Silicon, the 'volume' doesn't preview at all in the section on Velocity Fields. However, the vector fields DO show up. Adding this note in case anyone else gets frustrated at random MacOS issues.] An amazing series of tutorials all the same! Thanks Rez!

[@sirstromper]

Man, you re awsome. All your courses are super focus and well explained. Just a quick question, idk if it´s just me, but I can watch any of your courses from your website; I ve tried in 2 different browsers

[@voxyde]

I'll take a look!

bro, amazing!

[@arriyadsafioftaekwondoasso4699]

First I don't right words to thank you enough, your a legend and creative person, I love your works and your Tutorials... awesome and great content... I hope that you make new Tutorials about for example: Planet Explosion and destruction, helicopter and military engines destruction,... I love all Transformers movies vfx and cgi scenes

[@KevinKahwaty]

Hello! I have been following your tutorials and have been learning a lot. I ran into an issue with this one though, my volume trail is not oriented along my curve. When you add the polyframe node at 1:44:16, I am doing the same but when I go to visualize it and nothing is happening. This is leading to my main issue where when I get up to adding the volume trail I am either seeing nothing with the node tree that you have set up. I added some "orient along curves" nodes before my polyframe and before the sweep node. This allowed the volumetrail node to actually show me something but the trail is random and primarily perpendicular to the curve, not flowing with it. Do you have any tips or would it be possible to send you my hip file? Please let me know if you can help me fix this. Thank you in advance!

[@atminn5739]

Just upload more tutorial in high quality like this, very helpfully

[@parasjain9134]

I'm done with VOPS so what's next? Shall I start volumes course or watch other tutorials? If yes which one?

[@voxyde]

After VOPS yes, Volumes are the next one. I'm working on Intro to Pyro now, as a follow up to this volumes one. Soon I'll have a learning path page with all the courses lined up in the order they should be watched

[@parasjain9134]

@@voxyde thank you so much you're very supportive 🤘🏻 🙏🏻

Much appreciated!

good evening sir, how can i get the houdini sops basics that explains every nodes in sops

[@bram_gunst]

Amazing

[@MaelSantiago-b4u]

Great!

[@talim-y9z]

Do you have any plans for modeling lectures?

[@voxyde]

Do you mean procedural modelling? I might do some in the future.

At 1:16:29, the "add" Node is order-sensitive? If "compare bool" go input1, view port won't show any thing. 3+4 =4+3? Am I missing somthing?

[@voxyde]

Usually add is not order-sensitive, but it might work differently when you're adding to volumes

[@rootytuners]

The solution to making the 'Add' node input-order-agnostic in this case, is to add an 'Integer to Float' node after the 'Compare' node. Possible Explanation: The value from the 'Compare' node is a Boolean value (zero or one - integer at best). The 'surface' attribute from the VDB is a float value. Therefore: If you put the Bool result in 'input 1', the 'Add' node probably computes the sum with integer math - no decimals or fractions. If the 'surface' value is put into 'input 1' then the 'Add' treats the calculation as float math (allowing for fractional results). With integer constrained math: int(0.2) + int(0.7) = 0 int(1.2) + int(0.7) = 1 The 'Integer to Float' insertion will force 'float math' regardless of order.

did you close the discord server? i remember that you have a discord server 🤔

[@voxyde]

Its on hold for a bit while I restructure things, will post about it when its up!

[@Searly]

4:15 LOL that's true

[@voxyde]

I like to dunk on blender but its actually pretty good for VFX hehe

[@R1PPA-C]

I was paying attention until you said houdini handles voxels better than other software... This is not accurate at all.. I was about to migrate from max and phoenix fd to houdini until I opened up a simple explosion preset and fluid preset... That thing is so damn slow, even compared to my huge sims running over on phoenix using in excess of 500 million voxels and using well over a gb per frame of data

[@kristianivanov2049]

im just coming from Blender. Yes, more than 5 voxels do result in a crash

[@voxyde]

Thank you for confirming!

[@ruslandad365]

something is very complicated

[@hamaamdeen2066]

Thank you for this
