Anyone know if the background plate node in solaris will finally be compatible with xpu? Shadows have been my biggest struggle with karma up to this point.
Balloons simulation 2018年5月27日23:24
Hey guys,
I'm still farily new to Houdini.
I'm trying to wrap my head around how I would accomplish a large cluster of balloons that are attached to strings which all meet at a single point. They would have a wind force and would bounce around and interact with one another.
I've found a few forum conversations about similar setups online, but nothing that has really helped me understand a strategy.
I've included a mockup image to show what end result I'm going for.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
