Learn how to create a Mega Character that is made up of many smaller characters. Learn how to design and model using VDB tools, rig and animate with KineFX, then use Vellum to create soft body effects. Bring the Mega Character into Solaris and light and render the final sequence using Karma. Enjoy!

Make sure you have the SideFX Labs tools installed to complete this lesson. The Exoside Quad Remesher tool is used which requires its own license. You can download a Trial version or purchase a license from the Exoside Website.

    My (Licensed) copy of the latest version of QuadRemesher doesn't work with Houdini 19.0.531 Exoside hasn't responded to my emails yet. I can't get either the Lab Tools version or the latest copy from Exocide's website. Curious if anyone else has this problem or knows how to fix?

    In case anyone else has my problem of not being able to use Exoside Quadremesher with Houdini 19 - I just tried to go through tech support again at Exoside's website and saw this message - NB: CONTACT SERVICE WILL BE CLOSED BETWEEN 16th of April to 24th of May 2022

    Curious, cannot you just set the group for the lect side in the mirror on the node instead of an outside group. Just curious why the extra step.
