Sun Render

Hi to all 0/

I have a question - how to visualize the sun in Houdini?

I remember at Maya there was a tool to visualize point source of light and if add on it displace noise shader - then we could achieve interesting effect, which looked almost like a sun

But how to make something similar in Houdini ? :\

oh, thanx man !

gona try this one today.

P.s. nice link :)

Check out Houdini's own lava shader (see Materials Library).

Check out Houdini's Exchange for Ivan DeWolf's DFNoise code for fluid (plasma) like patterns generation.

Check out some post-production tricks like glows, sparks, various volumetric-like effect to add them to your sun.

Assume making effects is a challenge and fun but effects made with one-button solution hardly ever look good.

Good luck.

Thanks for reply ! *went for studying :)

I don't wana one-button solution - in most cases they look lame or give result for very specific environment :)
