A #Houdini setup for reducing viewport visibility of 1000's of scattered objects, for smooth viewport performance, using 'render' and 'proxy' purpose. To remove the conflict of doubling up of purpose between asset and instances, I just pruned the corresponding purpose for the instancing part

Here's a shot update and breakdown with new vs old lighting. I wasn't really happy the previous version, and after a lot of tweaking of lights and material/geometry setup... hopefully it's an improvement! #Houdini #karmaxpu #3danimation

Here's a demo of layering usd files, and working with variants in Solaris. When I receive a new alembic animation cache from Maya, I can process it through this setup to ensure materials are consistent between shots, with the flexibility of variants if needed #Houdini

Latest shot I've complete for Lupin House! (with a little breakdown) This one took a bit longer, as there was no base environment to go by, and I wanted to get Bleu's groom setup working nicely in Solaris

Before and after:
Testing using 'houdini hair procedural' in Solaris to add subtle cloth fibres to the trousers, and help break up the straight edge on the trouser geometry. Combined with 'houdini preview procedurals' where hairs are calculated at render time from the guide curves

Bleu shot wip for today. Next up..to setup a very subtle tree leaves animation for the background.. tried with static frame but think it's not enough.

Work in progress for new shot I'm working on for Lupin House. Been focusing more on the groom setup for Bleu with a vellum sim setup on the guides, then will continue developing the environment and lighting next week :) 🐦

Here's a vellum simulated hair test on Bleu, the sim is lightweight on the guides, and then an additional hairgen on top that follows the guide sim

Now for the fantastic 3D artists I follow 🙂↕️🙌💖 It would be great if you could share it and give them some love if you don’t know them yet. I’ll keep updating and resharing these with time

Here's a work in progress for the latest shot I'm working on for Lupin House.
Step 1: Import Alembic cache
Step 2: Sort though loads of nasty Maya object file paths!
Step 3: Make a nicely organised Solaris stage and hierarchy
Step 4: Asset materials with MaterialX
Then onto lighting! #Houdini
