Title: CGcircuit – Stylized Skin Growth in Houdini
Info:
In this course we’ll be tackling how to set up a stylized, organic and slightly creepy skin growth effect that sits somewhere between VFX and Motion Graphics.
While creating this highly specific effect the viewer will be able to pick up a bunch of useful tips and tricks that can be implemented into their work.
We will set up the effect from scratch using several simulations that work in unison. We start out with a custom grain simulation that drives our vellum skin simulation, which in turn influences the hair simulation. Once we’re done with our simulation we’ll bring back our deforming geometry onto our base model.
After this we’ll cover a bit of shading and rendering with Redshift.
We will use a decent amount of VEX and we will end up with a clean, reusable setup.
This course is aimed at beginners to intermediate users of Houdini.
Warning:Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus, and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the installed app. Some of the materials posted here are grabbed from CGPeers, so it could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link (higher than 30% positive result). Thank you.
