thanks for sharing !

look nice !

you can use lifespanPP = rand (0.5,2); you should go to maya forum, you will get not much feedback in a houdini forum about maya effects.

splines rendering with indigo renderer

tks, i did some volume renders with displacement, Lee Giggs style, but the rendertime was extreme slow. julia, manldebulb is quite data heavy and limits creative freedom. i am using only real geo / splines instead.

if you wanna learn more The physics of wind-blown sand and dust "

i am playing more with Vex right now: Vex Code: float resX = 600; float resY = 600; float deltaD = 0.5; int numVert = 3; float pi = 3.1415922653; float rotOffset = pi / 6.0; vector pos= {0,0,0}; float cx = (resX/2.0)*cos((2*pi/numVert) + rotOffset) + (resX /2); float cy = (resY/2.0)*sin((2*pi/numVert) + rotOffset) + (resY /2); int iter = chf("iteration"); for(int i=0; i<(iter+15); i++) { int num = int(((rand(i)*32767) % numVert) +1); float xVert = (resX/2) * cos((2*pi*num / numVert) + rotOffset) + (resX/2); float yVert = (resY/2) * sin((2*pi*num / numVert) + rotOffset) + (resY/2); cx += deltaD * (xVert - cx); cy += deltaD * (yVert - cy); if(i>15) { pos.x = cx; pos.y = cy; addpoint( 0, pos ); } }

a little coding exeriece with openCL

testing keyshot: 24 million polygons in keyshot on my macbook : fractals instanes.... 1.4 billion polygon's. thats the limit for my 16GB macbook with Thearender

testing new renderer, indigo render.... one hell of a renderer:

didn't work under houdini 16, at least on my system at the time.

arnold spline. rendering.... its pretty fast on my macbook . 5 minutes

well done !

tying get get fast spline rendering going in renderman
