964racer Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I've been working with Houdini for about 5 months, but I'm still a beginner ! I have an attached an image which came from NASA. This image appeared on their public FB site and I took a screenshot of it. Can anyone suggest techniques in Houdini to recreate an image like this ? My first thoughts (1) model a wire coil to create the basic coiled cyclic structure (2) particle emission along length of wire emitter - maybe wire itself is not rendered. (2) there are also some clouds/volumetric stuff going on. (3) custom shader for particles to get the glowing emission effects towards center (4) star field background - could be just a image comped but could done with points, scattering on a plane or volume. Any thoughts - am I far off ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squardis Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 no your not, backgroud is as it is, two different splines to drive the main streaks(one spiral, one just inside) And one to drive the fluid smoke in the same directionss Good luck;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
