In computer graphics, there's a challenge to run the old-school game "Doom" on anything. So of course it doesn't just run on fridges and car stereos. It "runs" in Houdini:

(technically, it's not "running" because that's not the game code. It's a simulation of the game logic)
We Called The Canary Houdini - Canvas Print
It was heartbreaking to discover the empty cage, but hunger always hastened his return.

a mix of some ideas I've been messing about with last week/weekend, Dan Wood helped to demystify the volume wrangle workflow for me, so I ported some cellular automata code I was messing with (Fredkins Replicator) to that context, and adapted a custom marching cubes setup to work with volumes instead of point clouds #houdini #generative #creativecoding #3D

Did you know in houdini vex you can declare a color ramp parameter?
You just have to wrap it in a vector() like this:
```c
v@Cd = vector(chramp("colmap", gradParam));
```
Thanks a lot to waffleboytom for the tip on discord ( chek out his youtube too https://www.youtube.com/@waffleboytom/videos )
This week Apple revealed secrets behind their gorgeous immersive environments on Vision Pro — including tools for SideFX Houdini.
Well, I got them working — and it's very cool!
Watch my quick video, more soon! ✨

I find it very strange that #Maya supports creation of and importing of a UsdPreviewSurface yet #Arnold simply renders it as pink. Yet Arnold via #Houdini as has no problem interpreting the UsdPreviewSurface. #Blender too has no issue with the UsdPreviewSurface.
Just to note I created the file I am importing into Maya, in Maya to start with. If you use a UsdPreviewSurface it renders pink, but if you use a 'StandardShader' (not aiSS) it converts to UsdPreview upon export.

Also, if you missed Tom Goffelli (aka WaffleboyTom) and I chat about APEX last week, you can find the recording on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/Q_C_WWM_66U?si=lgITx66CSexR8TGS&t=396
We talk about how APEX works, and some of the tech that came before it's development.
Tonight (6/11/2025 at 6pm EDT), we're going to create something inspired by this ad from @TactycStudio: https://youtu.be/ULgOsnNxexI?si=onakgsJkgoZW00Gf&t=6
There's a cool melting effect that we'll try to use Vellum Grains and MPM on. Hope to see you then!
Tomorrow night (6/4 at 6pm EDT) we're going to be joined by Tom Goffelli (aka WaffleBoyTom). He's going to walk through the basics of using APEX outside of the current rigging/animation tools. This should be a bit of a continuation of his awesome talk at FMX. So if you're struggling with understanding APEX, or have questions please join us. See you then!
This video showcase the animation of assembling Kenworth truck using Blender and eevee as a render engine,
The background or warehouse is also made in blender using pbr and blender shaders

Pubblico questo brevissimo shot per il logo/mascotte reveal del nostro studio indie.
Ringrazio @teresaromano Anna Tronci (Fx artist) e Antonio Crisafulli (animator) per aver contribuito alla realizzazione.
Consiglio di sentirlo in cuffia :D
