Houdini 18 Masterclasses

In this masterclass we step through the functions of attribute paint. We also briefly unpack it and look at how it can be embedded as a tool in other assets.

This masterclass will cover the new improvements in Vellum for cloth simulation in Houdini 18.0. This includes improved resolution independence and new constraints.

Houdini 18.0 has expanded support for 64 bit geometry processing. This masterclass runs over the new functionality and shows how to run Vellum solvers in 64-bit mode.

This masterclass will cover new Vellum Constraint features in Houdini 18, some of which are workflow enhancements. This includes automatically computing mass and thickness based on density, making it easier to work with geometry of different resolutions. Normalizing stress computations over substeps, will save you the hassle of having to adjust threshold values when changing substeps. For the new constraint features, there are Stiffness Dropoff, Tangent Stiffness, Stitch to primitive location, Sliding for Stitch and Attach constraints, and ARAP constraints which are effective for simulating organic material/softbody and things that require good stretching and compression behaviour.
