In this final segment, Peter Bowmar teaches us how to create useful scripts that make changes even more procedural. We use variables, set up ROPs, read and write geomtery SOPs and composite all the render passes automatically using render dependencies. All the while, Mr. Bowmar shows us many useful interface tips that will speed the workflow. 1.5 hrs.

NEW DIGITAL ANIMATION SCHOOL TO OPEN IN NEW WESTMINSTER
New Westminster, BC, March 21, 2012 — CG Masters Academy, a brand new digital animation and visual effects school, opens this fall at the Plaza at New Westminster Station, Canada’s first commuter rail mall. The new school boasts the latest technology, its own studio and shooting equipment and what founding instructor Nicholas Boughen is calling “The Evolution of Digital Arts Training”. Mr. Boughen, a 15-year veteran of the film industry, approaches this new challenge with nine years of experience teaching digital arts at several institutions locally and internationally including Capilano University.
“We are bringing a new way of thinking to digital arts training. Some schools are getting it wrong,” says Boughen who claims a better way of training digital artists. “Our graduates will be better prepared and better skilled than most others for work in the Film, Television and Gaming industries.”
The school will employ only master artists as instructors and will keep class sizes to a maximum of 15 students to guarantee the best possible access to the expertise of those instructors. According to Boughen, “The Plaza at New Westminster Station is the perfect location. Already at an education and transit hub next to Douglas College, and the new Civic Centre, students will literally be able to step off the skytrain and walk in our front door or step off a bus and grab a coffee, a bite to eat or take in a movie at the Landmark Cinema after class.”
“Our short term goal is to produce the best graduates in the NorthWest” says Boughen. “The bigger challenge will be in producing the finest graduates in the world, which we expect to take slightly longer.”

Hey everybody,
I am using H.O.T. to create oceans for a project. I have achieved a very nice waves and swell using the displacement SHOP and now I'd like to add foam to the wave crests. I've seen some pretty spectacular examples of this having been accomplished on vimeo using H.O.T., but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. The sparse information available seems to suggest the eigenvalues get multiplied with a procedural noise and plugged into colour, but I haven't been successful. If anyone has suggestions , or better yet an example scene file, I'd be most grateful.
lor
From the docs http://anusf.anu.edu.au/~drw900/houdini/ocean/docs/ [anusf.anu.edu.au]
“The crests of the choppy waves are being colored by choosing the areas where the sign of the mininum eigenvalue (ME) is negative, and adding some color made from the negated ME multiplied by some noise. More sophisticated foam and spray can be driven with the minimal eigenvalue and eigenvector.”
