Motion graphics project with source files

[ikoon 103]

Anything I can do in Houdini is thanks to the great community of people helping and sharing their knowledge. Thank you everybody, you guys rock! This is my first job done fully in Houdini (+AE) and my client let me share the source files (attached in this post).

Rendered animation is here on vimeo

The included network is quite simple and I hope it can help beginners to learn Houdini. I have tried to avoid slow for each loops and copy stamping, so you can find few small tricks in there.

It was rendered in one afternoon on Redshift and two 1070s (cca 1.8K pixels res).
And also warning: some of the effects and glows are done in AE.

Used VEX
if, vertexindex, smooth, rotate (matrix), setpointattrib
addprim, addpoint, addvertex, removepoint
user-defined functions

Used CHOPs
lag, math, spring, geometry, envelope, area, trigger
jiggle (even for single channel)
chop() expression

Used VOPs
dot product (to control the linear falloff), cross product
primuv, volume samples

VDB
vdb activate, custom masked advection (clouds)
nearpoint (to sample the mask advection offset)

SOPs
uv texture(rows&columns) to control the ramp (color&pscale) along u
attribute interpolate, attribute transfer, solver
polyextrude (with local controls)

RedShift
volume shader, light instancing
point and vertex attributes
