art3mis 38 Report post Posted March 15, 2017 Could any Houdini experts suggest how to approach 'swirling clouds' aka hurricane type effects? Trying to create something similar to the following, but on a 'smaller scale' ie greatly sped up. So if you could imagine a whirlpool effect but with clouds instead of water.

trzanko 47 Report post Posted March 16, 2017 You can make a simple twist deformer, rotate around origin and vary the twist by distance from the origin. Then animate the twist and the spin, calculate the velocity with a trail sop, use it as a source for a volume. https://academo.org/demos/rotation-about-point/ -Tighe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
