I’ve been a Visual Effects instructor for quite some time now — almost ten years, and
if we haven’t reached that milestone yet, we’re very close. And well, it’s far too late for
me now — this is my career, and I’m here to stay.
I’m currently a freelance instructor working with different schools, whether it’s
through in-person classes, online sessions, or by creating training tutorials for
students and teachers.
Besides that, I’m founding my own company to create tutorials — both paid and free
resources. And well, I absolutely love Houdini SideFX. I fell in love with it a long time
ago, and our relationship is still untouchable and immense.
I love watching my students evolve and turn into new, wonderfully insufferable
professionals who complain about the same things I do, between one achievement and
the next. And I’m not afraid to say that this job still moves me deeply. less

How use volumes to detect collision in sop and deform July 3, 2017, 4:40 a.m.
I don't know vex but want learn how use it! 
Yes, I should use a sdf collision, with vop I can use a twoway and a compare to create a if operation, can I import automatically groups information from the opinput, right? or a import point group or bind.
Thank you for your feedback jsmack!

How use volumes to detect collision in sop and deform July 1, 2017, 5:07 p.m.
Hey guys, sorry for my english 
There is a way in Houdini to detect the collision and have a organic style deformation without dynamics to avoid the intersection of the meshes? I have some geometry groups (tentacles based on curves) in a single object, so, I thinks is possible with volumes and a vex expression with if and else, but I'm not so good with vex, i'm still learning. So, using a foreach loop , maybe converting the mesh into volumes and use a scatter to have the surface and inside points to detect their position, how can I import in a wrangle the groups and their points info to create this type of action?
I know the message but i don't know how to write it, some ideas?
Thank you
