General question to you guys, so i have a very bad geometry and math learning experience, is there a good resource for specifically 3D math stuff with visual examples maybe not only in Houdini, i'm noticing same functions are used also in Unreal sometimes, so can someone share a good 3D math learning resource in general this would be very helpful.

Could someone share their thoughts on motion graphics approach with Houdini:

If you're struggling with the maths side of things a reasonably good (paid) intro course is:

There's also:
https://www.houdini.school/courses/HS-223-Maths-for-Artists
But that's a little deeper I think.

Or for a more general maths intro there is also the excellent - and free: https://www.khanacademy.org/ [www.khanacademy.org]

To try and briefly answer your motion graphics question... Yes H is fantastic for mograph. However... it's an order of magnitude more powerful, and therefore more complex than C4D. So, to tap that power and go beyond what C4D can do does take some significant 'learning investment' - time and effort.

Polybridge SOP with a curved spline for the bridge?
Possibly followed by Deltamush for smoothing.

I've seen various examples of vellum based 'sticky tape' being pulled apart, which looks somewhat similar. Perhaps if you Google that you might find some direction.
