    Hi, thanks for this. Even after a couple of years of using Houdini and thinking I've got a handle on it I learn about another couple of nodes that I've never seen before - the tangent fields one and the project non-divergent node. I get the feeling I will never know even half the nodes :)

    Hey, thanks for watching :) I don't have personal experience with the Houdini -> Blender workflow, but particles are always tricky when trying to move between different softwares. Entagma has a tutorial about something similar though: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hY2ulbKzYNCYiLA.html Might be useful?

    Is it possible to achieve a similar render output without using Redshift? But by using Karma instead? I couldn't figure out how you got the particles to look so small.

  • @mnymanVFX

    You have to adjust the pscale attribute to adjust the size of the particles

    Hello, I followed your tutorial entirely and I'm having an issue with the render. Redshift doesn't want to render anything from frame 36. While checking my file cache on the color pass, I noticed that my sphere in the viewport has different shades of color. Starting from frame 36, the color becomes more intense in just one frame, and indeed, Redshift refuses to render from this frame onwards. Does anyone have an idea? I can send my .hip file if you want to take a look. I really want to understand where the error is in my project.

    Hey Mats, thank you for the Tutorial buddy :) I have a question, after the popnet, when you run your simulation, seems that your particles follow a path, mine particle behavior doesn't follow any path just expands outside a bit in every direction. How did you manage to give direction to your Particles?

    Maybe it's too late but before entering the render settings, you should change the points size in geometry parameters in SOPs to somewhat around 0.01. By default it's one.
