New Houdini tutorial!
Recently I saw a lot of cool 3d animations with vellum strips, or bands, not sure how to call it haha. In this very short and beginner friendly tutorial that utilises Labs Polyslice in its core.https://t.co/anAnH69RIA pic.twitter.com/VWb2f2uVtj

This tutorial was requested a lot – A setup inspired by @onesal_studio Pantene Goldie project! Beginner friendly setup, yet I think these UV and mask blends have a very wide range of application so wanted to share it with you! https://t.co/eeTpB1vBFT pic.twitter.com/PtbVhP8W3S

Hey guys! New Houdini tutorial :)
This week its all about the vellum! Started as vellum rubber band stretch inspired by Philipp Pavlov, but as usual, drifted somewhere and ended with this very abstract structure haha https://t.co/1cdFMe5bwu pic.twitter.com/AswXGvNEq1

Hey guys! New Houdini tutorial 🙂
Today we are creating an abstract setup that is based on dynamically generating grains from changing topology of the geo. Lots of creative possibilities, but some skincare or beauty/health products come to my mind.https://t.co/RKTzVWVLxD pic.twitter.com/jBDEZ7hZQ2

New Houdini Tutorial 🙂

Today we are creating this popular effect seen in many commercials - viscous fluids and rock terrains 🙂 Also, I've added some uv-bending to add some movement on the surface of that "lava". Super versatile setup!https://t.co/1Jun797l1y pic.twitter.com/kHq2ecmcdo
