how to use houdini to make water link


Recommended Posts

There's a thread on the SESI forum that explains how that kind of effect is done. It's fairly tricky but that thread should point you in the right direction. Just search for 'ink' (I think ;)).

wha?

I counted 6 software packages including plug-ins and one kick-ass CG artist including a home-made ink fluid tank.

I put 95% of the success of this shot behind that kick-ass CG artist. Software was just a tool as it should be.

So in Houdini, yes advect points in velocity fields generated out of DOPs. There's even an Advect POP tool to set this up for you easily.

See the attached hip file for one simple scene that pushes a box through a field then uses those vel fields to advect particles.
