How VELLUM Works in Houdini & Useful Production Tricks!

hi everyone, there are two major differences in houdini to be aware of when following this tutorial on a more recent version: 1. you can't just go straight from vdbfrompolygons to a remesh node, you need to convert to polys FIRST, before the remesh. you can do this with a convert vdb node, set to polygons. 2. the paint node has been replaced with a few nodes including "attribute paint" which is what i would recommend using to paint your stretchstiffness attribute or any other arbirary attribs. have fun making floppy characters!

This is by far one of the best Vellum (and Houdini in general) lessons I have ever seen. Thank you so much for this. You have a gift of clarity of presentation. I will be getting your course for sure.

Can't believe it took me this long to find this tut - really nicely laid out and explained!

Bring on more refined and advanced tuts on this subject. Loooove it.

Been avoiding vellum in my learning process, after getting going a bit with other vids, this one really pulls together so many good learnings, great delivery and some belly laughs to boot. Mighty

Man I've had a headache all day trying to do something similar to this but this tutorial just Fixed all the problems and saved me! Thank you so much man!

Just FYI the remesh right after the vdb from polygon does not work in H18, it just stays as a VDB. Not sure if its a bug or a "feature" / something that was never intended.

You are amazing for doing this tutorial. Its a complex thing and you explained it perfectly. Thank you

very nicely explained. thank you!

Nice dude! Excited for more houdini tuts from you.

Good to know, thanx gor taking the time to explain and demonstrate the process.

great video bro

Great tutorial man, everything made sense! I think i've gotten to understand houdini more after this than anything else I've done in the past. Thank you

another way besides painting your influence would be just to use a group create node, and set it to a bounding box. of course paint by attrib works probably better for more dynamic animations, ie not just a straight path. didnt know about the point deform node!!! gonna be using that a LOT, thanks man!

really nice sharing, looking forward for more tutorials on vellum!

This is wonderful
