In this video we will learn how to Align point normals along a curve, this is a very useful technique used for a lot of different things in Houdini, so learn it and I guarantee you it will be useful.

    Hi, thanks for really amazing Tutorial, i need to create similar effect for my cached a particle stream which I used a Lattice to deform the shape of it.
    is there a way to create a new Normal Vectors for all particles as well? so the Vectors match the particles new motion?

    Thank you.

    Thank you for the tutorial. What is the node created at 1.21 (point1)? If I add a POINT node it has very different inputs (it's an attribute wrangle) but yours seems to be different than the H18 Points node. Any help appreciated.

      is an OLD node, is not available anymore, you could do something similar in an Attribute Wrangle, I recommend you use the PolyFrame method at 3:24 time
