tylermerkel Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 SO i need some help i am in the process of learning houdini and i have hit a bit of a snag, i am trying to create an energy shield effect. So far i have gotten the basic design of it down, but i am having trouble getting it so that if i strike close to the same point on the grid it will overlap and not just intercect with the previous strike. Any hints, tips or if anyone has something similar that they have done a little help would be awsome thanks. attached is an example of the kind of shield effect im going for as well as my houdini file if that helps any.

JuriBryan Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 run a foreach over it. simply create the shield effect for each hit that needs a overlapping of the shield. The output will merge all the different "shields" together. (you can give each one a different attribute and use that attribute in a shader to write out matte passes to control each hit in comp.) Hope that helps... easy but it works:) Cheers, Juri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
