Houdini – Particles

Week: 1 – 7 Feb

This week tutorial from Mehdi is about creating particle in Houdini. We learned how generate particles that attached to a character.

There were several completely new nodes since this was about simulation and different than the last week modeling nodes, such as popsource, timeshift, scatter as well as node to affect force like gravity and wind. There were also a lot of playing with numbers & values for the particle generation, birth and the strength of the forces.

Setting up source for the particle
Particle source parameter
Birth parameter for particle generation such as count, birth rate, life and seed
Force node for wind and gravity applied
Simulation cache
Global Animation Options for playback
