NSugleris Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Not sure if this is the effect your looking for: http://www.tokeru.com/mayawiki/index.php?title=File:Per_prim_rot_vop.hipncas it may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) That was done by Taylor James. I don't think it was done in Houdini, they use a lot of 3DSMax, so you won't find a HIP file laying around. There was a review online that I can no longer find but they never really revealed how they exactly did it other than via a Maxscript. I think they created a bone for every face along the longest length of the triangle and then scaled the bones from 0 to 1 as they rotated the bone into it's final resting place. The script that did the automatic keyframing sorted the triangles based upon z-depth that way the one farther away unfolded first so the object appeared from front to back. There is a Blender python version of the unfolding effect you can use for free. Edited September 16, 2015 by Atom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
