Hello, everyone

I was watching Houdini 18 Launch video and there is a demo showcasing the new Group Expand node in Houdini 18
Is there any one who knows how to make the animation like in the pictures.
In other words, does anyone know how to create the animation where the group expand node is making the octopus grow and change colors gradually like a gradient in the example above

Thank you

The video describes exactly how it's done. The step attribute is being fed into a PolyExtrude and Color node.

Hi eikonoklastes
Thanks for your reply

Can you maybe share more detail, when I try to just add a group expand, it just selects polygons too quickly, its does not select polygons in a manner which is smooth, gradual or gentle like in the demo video, because in the demo it looks as if it was a gradient gently changing the colors and extrusions

Thank you
