Procedural - Pyro - Karma XPU
What you'll learn
Procedural geometry and animation
VEX coding
Pyro and POP simulation
Karma XPU render
Requirements
Lessons aim to an intermediate level Houdini artist
A student must have a strong basic understanding of VEX coding and DOP structure
Houdini 19.0.498+ required to support Karma XPU
ACES 1.0.3 OpenColorIO recommended
Description
The course contains 8 chapters, in every chapter, we are going to cover one or several related tasks of our tutorial, all setups will be done from a scratch and total amount of recorded material is 38 hoursChapter 1 - In the first chapter, we are going to create out static geometry, floor and podium. Mainly we are going to do procedural modeling, will play with position noises, pattern creation and instancing.Chapter 2 - In this chapter, we continue adding elements of our scene, but this time they required extra procedural animation or transformation.Chapter 3- As we have done already with our static geometry, we can jump into fully dynamic elements. Procedural bullets and bullets trail with custom volumetric clustering technique, will be covered in this chapter.Chapter 4 - In this chapter, we are going to cover several techniques of procedural volume shaping, temperature and motion blur control, cycle animation and form variations.Chapter 5 - Custom procedural sparks, with full artistic control of shape and motion as well as supporting pyro elements will be created in this chapter.Chapter 6 - This tutorial will not complete without an abstract procedural geometry with cool motion. In this chapter, we are going to create this element as well as unique hero bullet shape.Chapter 7 - Our last element will be an explosion. We will create a complex, flexible setup for trail type explosion, will dive into DOP network and microsolvers for a precise control of our simulation, will add extra custom forces for a final smoke transformation.Chapter 8 - Ones all elelments done, we are ready to start lighting our scene. Karma XPU will be the key of this chapter as well as new shaders and ways to work with new engine.
