Stacking Experiments Up: From A Sphere to Animation | Rich Lord | SIGGRAPH HIVE 2023
Фильм және анимация
Learn how to break down an independent animation into the experiments that were conducted during its creation. Explore complex looking setups that can be built from simple parts and how the unique structure of Houdini makes this process truly generative. This leads to using Houdini as a notebook to store ideas and experiments to use later.

Amazing presentation 👏, this work/art is inspirational
Thanks for this excellent talk. It is very inspiring.
Soooooooooooooooooooooooo nice!!! It looks so great! Thänx for this one!
I love the idea of parasites, inhabiting a rock, and the rock being the house of many and having human relatable combustion elements :D the worms seem to have quite the party in there that they suddenly also seem to have polluive behaviour, instead of the benefits we know them having. well done!
"Houdini made me do this!" 😂 That's literally me!
So, so good.
Rich is so much less scary looking in person than I imagined!

Give than man a beer! "Houdini made me do it"
Very insightful!!!
Awesome presentation! Thanks @rich_lord and SideFX.
Great advice re : " procedural " approach and not trying to think too far a - head .. So that you're responsive to whatever comes out of the process ..
As a huge Lynch and Houdini fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this. David should work with you, and I don't say that easily. :) Huge respect for making your art and work accessible to us as well. Much appreciated!

Thanks, I didnt go over that movie in this talk. I plan to go over it at some point on my Patreon, but Im not sure when right now.
"If you do something once, it is rude if you don't do it tons of times" -Rich Lord. I will think on that the next time I abandon a houdini project.

Haha! It's a good rule of thumb to not be rude
haha omg
Considering what a difficult thing Houdini is, it would be cool if the authors of such videos posted the Houdini scene along with the lesson.
How many years to render ? 😂
