A simple, robust setup for vellum and bullet interaction
Yader replied to KarlRichter's topic in Effects
Take a look at the shapematch constraint. It's suitable for rigid bodies. That way you don't have to leave vellum. Vellum_RBD_interaction_v0001_yader.hiplc Vellum_RBD_interaction_v0001_yader.mp4 -
How did you create your gradient? There is maybe another way of distorting it without vops...

Here's a free orbolt tool using the aforementioned poisson reconstruction executable: https://www.orbolt.com/asset/organics::organics_sop_poisson_surface_reconstruction_wrapper

You could also use the pre made pop advect by volumes, calculate the vol gradient beforehand and just set the velocity scale to -1. sdf_bounds_Yader_03.hiplc

How to create a 3d coordinate gradient from groups of starting points? Kinda like a noise.
Yader replied to Latimerias's topic in Scripting
Look into the Distance from Geometry SOP, that should give you the growing pattern your looking for. -
You need to prepare your geo, so it's interpreted correctly by the pathdeform. Zero out rotation and translation by utilizing xform from the bound sop.

Not in front of Houdini, but unwrap a classic polygon mesh sphere, set P to uv and then use a point deform taking the hexagon plane with it the way back?
-
You can do that in many ways, here's a simple one. Put down a Sop Solver in your DOP Network and inside put down a Primitive SOP with the following code in the three Scale Parameters: clamp(1-(@deactivation_time/2),0,1)
-
Could be thousand things, how big is your geo/scene? Are it's normals fine? How are your SSS settings?
-
"Uvs and Attributes" is the last tab on the Sweep SOP. If it doesn't fix your issue you should upload something illustrating your problem.
-
Uncheck Normalize U's and Normalize V's on your Sweeps Uvs and Attributes tab and additionally uncheck Snap U and V to Nearest Tile Boundary under Section UV Seams on the same tab.

You can instance Lights with the Instance Object, but two things to keep in mind. First, you have to exclude the template light in your mantra rop and if you want to use colors from your hdr, you have to use an expression on the color parameter on your template light. Pretty sure, this is old workflow and there's probably a newer one. Nevertheless, this one works Area_Lights_Instanced_yader_01.hiplc

Can you show your current status with the C4D version? I would first try to solve this with a curve/spline sim in 2D, extrude it and put some additional animation detail on top with deformers. If you want to try it in 3D, look into Vellum, it's stable and there's a ton of learning material out there. But it will take longer than the 2D solve.
