Sketch and etch style


aivarasG

Recommended Posts

Like everyone else, I use a bunch of tools for my work. But I found myself using Houdini more and more for 2d work, including making a sketch or etch style of pictures like these. I did it using sops, and while I imagine there is at least a million ways to do that in Houdini, it was bloody fast, took just a few nodes, and with plentiful variations.

I'm not sure how aivarasG generated those points, but you can use the non-intersecting sphere setup along with an attribute from map that converts luminance to density.

If you supply enough points and have a high quality image you can approximate the look. In this setup, the brighter the pixel, the smaller the sphere.
