Houdini 21 actually uses AI already, check out the "Machine Learning" pages in the help docs....SideFX said they have
been heavily invested in researching AI and how it can be used to improve Houdini but it will be done ethically.

Any algorithms and techniques for simulation will replace/become default if they do the job better....why wouldn't they?

See "two minute papers" on youtube for some great examples.

Hello Daniel, looks like you have a plenty of material to work with now.

Attached is a minor update to my previous post improving the processing speed quite considerably by compiling the for loop.


Happy New Year!

Daria Togunova has a nice tutorial of how to create a dynamic grid on youtube called "Creating a Dynamic Grid Animation in Houdini" I guess you have seen that, if not it's worth a watch.

To expand on the "matchsize" so you can see it in action, attached is an alternative simplified version of a dynamic grid and
how to use the "matchsize" node to fit different objects to each grid location.

This should be more helpful and give a starting point to go forward a bit easier.



Cheers!
