Hi Thanks for the support! I did just do a check on both Perk 1 & Perk 2 links and double checked the passwords to see if I could extract the files and it all looks fine. Can you double check if you are Perk 1 that you are downloading the Perk 1 project file or if you are Perk 2 that you are downloading the Perk 2 project file, because they both have different passwords. If u have any more issues, please feel free to keep msging! Sorry for the inconvenience, I have been trying to keep the cost down, thus this complicated file sharing system, but I'm in the process of creating my own login / file sharing platform to allow for a better experience for my Perk Members, it's still in the early stages but I hope to launch it asap! Thank you for putting up with all this for the time being!

and even that one is not working

Sorry for the inconvenience, I believe there's only 1 part, the project files are split on Perk Levels. Each Perk level allows you access to specific project file. If you are Perk 1, there's a specific password for the project file for Perk 1. Let me know if there's any other issues? If you click on the link to get the password and it says you don't have access, it means you're not enrolled in that specific Perk level. I know this isn't the best setup, but I've been trying to keep things low cost. I am in the process of learning to create a more user friendly platform to avoid these issues in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank u for the patience!

@@bubblepins I have access to password, but even if I unpack it the hip file is corrupted

@@bkbretislavkaspar-flyfishi1502 Are you using 7-zip to extract the file? I did do a quick confirmation and tried downloading the file and uncompress it with the specified passwords and it seems like its working for me, but I will always continue to help you until you get it working. I'm just sorry for the slow response these days, I'm usually a lot faster, I've been hit in life with some uneventful things to deal with during most of the day for the past couple of weeks.

Sorry by the time I got around to doing creating the rendering video, SideFX came out with the newer Pyro SOP tools and then I didn't feel like posting old topics... but I never got around to doing the newer Pyro SOP tools either! It's still on my very long to do list.

Thanks so much! That means a lot!

For some reason SideFX always like using volumes to render whitewater, volumes were the pre-made mantra materials for whitewater and in the keynotes of H20, where they had that demo of the rabbit walking in snow, it was using volumes in karma. I believe sideFX wants us to use karma volumes for whitewater. Hope that helps!

You can try inverting the mask, sorry if I'm misunderstanding the question correctly. Hope that helps!

Thanks for letting me know!! I'll look into this!

I feel honored!!! what's ur grad project about? UE? maybe I'll have some upcoming ue content released

Thanks for the lovely comment!

Awesome! I'm glad u like the content!

awww Thanks!!

Thanks!! I really liked this topic. I have more lighting topics that I have prepared to share. I'm planning on releasing it in video bits like this one and try out a new video format! Let me know if this works or not for u, I would love feedback!

@@bubblepinsI personally like some tuts that I can finish in one sitting or during a lunch break.

That is a really good question! I don't think there's an easy way to mask it other than zero-ing out the effect within the VOP setup itself. Like if u add noise to volume using VOP, and there's a section u dont' want noise, I think u can add zero noise for that selective section. But it would b more complex involving calculations and how do I figure out when that section comes up in the vop to isolate. Yeah I don't know of any easy way to do it. Hope that helps!

why's that? Is there a technical issue?

@@bubblepins I tried it now and it worked 🙌

@@PedroScherz nice! I'm happy it all worked out!

yeah I've heard a few people have expressed this to me, so I have been thinking about creating a video that uses Houdini for everything, since H20.5 release and now we have an updated fancy COPS system in Houdini we may be able to do substance designer stuff inside Houdini. We won't be able to do Substance Painter stuff, but at least that can be an option for those.

ooo I've tried doing something similar with this too! We call want nice cloth animations on metahuman, lol. But it's not as easy. I tried import/export by fbx rigged animations and yea that doesn't work at all, cuz the vellum sim is not a rig! So it HAS to be alembic, but that means it'll be huuuuge file. And also the Alembic its hard to align the clothing with the character as the metahuman has some unique deformation within the engine, I assume u r using UE, but every engine has it's unique thing so you will have a hard time algning the position in any engine. U need to know the Epic Games has teamed up with Marvelous Designer, they probably know that many dev's want this too. MD's sim for clothing is actually better than Houdini's. So Epic Games has this addon or I'm not sure if it's released yet, they announced it in the last GDC back in April I think? Anyways, they should have a UE addon for importing MD clothing and it should work with metahumans now using the MD simulator. Hope this helps!

@@bubblepins helpful info! Yeah, I'm using Unity cause programmers wanted it so! But MD is on my bucket list to learn! I will look for ways to work around it though! Thank you again!!!!!

@@josebringas513 The addon I mentioned is only with Unreal Engine, because Epic Games partnered up with CLO the parent comopany of Marvelous Designer. You'll have to double check if Unity supports the new MD addon's. The main improvement in MD is the sudden trend in using the USD with all the software apps. Everyone is trying to support that. See if Unity supports USD + Alembic cache, if so, there might be a chance that MD mayyyyy work. I believe UE is just doing something fancy with the USD clothing mesh and interpreting the Alembic cache. But that's just my theory and I've never used Unity before, so take that with a grain of salt and double check Unity docs! Good luck!!

That's so sweet of u! Thanks for watching!

That's a good question! I did a quick test, it looks like it's working! Remember to download the latest version 6.0 it has a few bug fixes a bit of improvement. It now creates the LOPNET for u, so you don't have to worry about overwriting ur previous setup.

My Pleasure! Good luck on ur project!

U could try separating it into 2 steps, try using the paint node and then transfer the painted colors to ur own attribute manually. Hope this helps! I don't use the attribute paint node directly that often.

@@bubblepins I resolved the issue thanks to your tutorial on importing from Marvelous to Houdini! Exporting in separate parts saved me! Thank you! I appreciate your hard work.

@@Chilags Thanks for letting me know that helped! I'll remember to pass this tip on to the next person that asks!

hmmm... I was gonna say the override parameter in the mantra node lol.... but I guess u double checked that. Maybe it's the Pixel Aspect Ratio in the camera parameter? If not, u can try dropping down a new camera node at factory default parameters to see if the problem persists, if the problem goes away then u know for sure it's related to a parameter in the camera node. Maybe that can help narrow it down a bit. Hope that helps!

I'm sorry I ran out of time in the stream to talk about Vellum Grains and how I solved the jittering! I am thinking of doing a Part 2 to the live stream to finish it off. Cuz I know a lot of people may have the same issues with the vellum Grains jittering

THanks! I'm super happy u enjoyed it!

@@bubblepins please make beginner series tutorials for houdini

@@BaraBarabere. I made so many beginner videos for Houdini! They are all labelled Basic Concept 1 and some are named beginner or intro

yeah I think I will, but it'll probably be the one after the next one. I had a friend that had a similar question and I think it's a good time to approach this. I might be able to make this earlier with a preview tutorial content type in a live stream. That way I can get it out faster.

@@bubblepins Thanks. I tried exporting rbd simulation in alembic format. It worked in Blender but not in Unreal. The error says faces with more than 4 vertices. It needs to be triangulated. So it would be great if you can guide me in it.

@@gkrcreations5906 oh that should be a quick fix, u can throw a remesh on the original geo before it gets fractured that should fix a lot of topology issues to make UE happy. Hope that helps!

@@bubblepins Yeah, it worked. First it didn't work because I placed the node just before the rop alembic node. In my setup I have a chess piece which collides with another one. After running the rbd simulation I merged the high res simulation and the collider mesh for exporting. After the merge node I placed the remesh node and when I checked the wireframe, the collider was remeshed not the rbd. Then I tried the remesher just before rbd material fracture. Still no result. And when I placed it between rbd cluster and rbd configure where I transferred the uvs it worked. Thanks for the tip. 😊😊. I am now trying to learn wall crack animation in Houdini. Hope you will consider this also. Thanks.🙂🙂

@@gkrcreations5906 Cracking walls sounds exciting! I can't wait until I see the results! RBD is fun, if u transfer it to UE you could have something break out of the wall when the user walks by

Thanks so much! You just made my day a lot happier!

Thanks for watching! I'm super happy u like this! I will make more!

The basics yes, but I'm working on a newer FLIP Fluid SOP Tools video. I was going to do some Food Commercial like chocolate dip or fondue so it's up to u if u want to wait.

@@bubblepins thanks for a quick response! If you do a new fluid tutorial, it would be great if you could show rendering in Karma you as well. It seems that there still is no white water shader out of the box.

@@karimoh3154 I did a very casual Water Rendering tutorial on Karma but in a Live Stream: ruclips.net/user/liveuvQgRFdSXyo?feature=share Not focusing particularly on whitewater, but more on water depth using karma. Whitewater in houdini uses volumes, which needs to be enabled specifically in Solaris lol ..... everything in Karma/Solaris needs to be enabled to render it out ... I think SideFX did that for optimizing the renders. I will remember to add that on my list when I edit the videos for the upcoming newer tutorial on FLIP Fluid SOP tools ! Thanks!

@@bubblepins interesting. I'll check that out tomorrow. Although from what I researched there is no "correct“ way to render whitewhater in xpu. By correct I mean the old whitewhater shader in Mantra which has some kind of specular on the volume... I am not sure I understand correctly what that forum thread was saying.

@@karimoh3154 I think u can render it anyway u want, but there is always a good practice way I guess. Karma XPU doesn't support VEX shaders, which is the old Mantra VEX materials. If u want XPU, you'll have to rebuild it with the new Karma Material builder.

Bunching up a lot of strawberries really covers up the small flaws in the Image Projection. I love how it turned out in the sim for that! The single strawberry being repainted in Substance Painter in this demo is a bit different! It actually turned out better because I spent more time in it. The strawberry in the intro was only painted on the sides, but I wanted to showcase the flaw of image projection in the intro and that had the best visual example. If I used the strawberry from the demo in this video, it actually doesn't ahve much stretching because most of it is fixed in Painter as shown in the video.

@@bubblepins I really love houdini procedural 💞💞

hahaha hyper realistic! I was thinking of putting some mold on it and maybe some bite marks! that should make it look more realistic. Cuz this strawberry is too perfect

​@@bubblepins ok thanks for this valuable knowledge.

Thanks a lot!

It should work the same, but mantra will just be a little slower. A principal shader and load in the texture that was made from the image projection painting. It should work like a charm!

That's true! I should have posted the answer! Try zooming in, the first one is easier because I didn't mask it well enough, and the last one is the hardest because it was photo scanned so it looks really real 360. But zooming in you'll see small flaws in comparison.

@@bubblepins ok ans 1-right side 2-right side 3- left side

@@Heartless0RD I couldn't fool u! All correct!

@@bubblepins so where is my reward 🤣😂

just kidding 😊
