I read and searched a lot about it, but still is not very clear.
The manual say you can render particles as sprite. but what about turn particles into smoke? I really cant find something about it on the manual.
Seens like smoke is another beast and has nothing to do with particles.
Cause in other 3d packages you animate particles and make smoke from them. At least some i know.
I read too about custom velocity fields. But seens too much work for move/animate the smoke.
Is there any article/tutorial about animating smoke, like move it in a specific direction (by a spline for example) of turn particles into smoke?
thanx for any light on that subject

Some time ago i played with L-system and i find a node related to that, and it has some kind of presets for L-system. I even found a very detailed shrub…
Now i cant find it again…
Is not really the goodies that comes with houdini help. (the load and launch stuff)
Was another example..and i cant find it again…wondering if it was on a old version of houdini i had it installed.
Anyone knows what i am talking about and can point me again to those nodes?
Thanx!

You forgot to mention Softimage. Much better than Maya and 3ds in my opinion . but of course , not like that much power that only Houdini holds!
I can animate characters in softimage , thing i think i would never would be able to do in houdini.
But in general, houdini excedees all!

Oh Man, really thanx for your time and effort, but this cientific approach is too much for my brains. I am looking for a more human solution. Since i am not in that cientific-guru level of houdini
but thanx anyway man!

I am trying to simulate a book with cloth.
Dont know if with RBD would be easier and better, but i am doind
how i know with clothing.
The aproach i am using is use a copy node after the Grid and control
and copy houw much grids (pages) i want.
it works if i use the groups as a Whole thing. but i would like split these grids into individual pages. but i cant do it using the copy node.
When i make it a cloth simulation, it works, all pages fall down as expected.But i wich like each grid could be a separeted page , with full control…
Is there another node ou way do get control of every grid (page) i use,
as a separated piece of clothing?
(i am already using the group output from the
copy node. but its going into cloth solver as 1 thing…and i want really control for everything in particular)
thanxsss for any tiposs

Hi i am back, and hope somebody would help me on this:
i added a Filmboxfbx to the out (Scene —-> Filmbox FBX) and i finally see Houdini cooking the scene…i thought it would solve the problem, but
when i check the files…just a NULL on the middle of the viewport.
on the FILE menu, EXPORT…i cant even see houdini processing the file…it just ignores the exporting processing
THE FUNNY THING is…it worked some days before. i unnistall everyting related to 3D and FBX…unnistall houdini too….and still doesnt work!
is there a way to just change the FBX exporter? or i need to download the latest aprrentice?
thanx guyss
