Digital.Tutors.Creating a Rocket Swarm with Procedural Volume Copying in Houdini 13.0.447
English | Size: 635 MB
Category: Digital Tutors


In this Houdini tutorial we will learn how to use procedural volume copying to create a rocket swarm that is both efficient and flexible. It will allow us to make modifications to timing, positioning, and scale without having to recreate or resim the effect from scratch. To achieve this effect, we will setup several basic pyro simulations. We will then create a particle simulation with custom attributes to use as our copy points. Then use the Copy SOP and copy stamping to position our pyro simulations correctly. We will use VBD cloud modeling tools in conjunction with our particle simulation to make rocket trails. Finally, we will bring all these elements together, shade them, and render in Mantra.

There are many reasons for shooting with multiple cameras. Perhaps it’s to save time or achieve multiple angles. Or it might be to capture what’s happening across a large area, like a sports arena or the stage during a concert. Luckily for editors, Adobe Premiere Pro supports editing and syncing footage from multiple cameras in situations like these. The multicamera editing process in Premiere is similar to live switching that occurs in mobile studios and newsrooms, and helps speed up the post-processing workflow. In this course, Rich Harrington reviews that workflow, showing you how to ingest footage and align it properly, as well as finish your video with color-correction and color-matching techniques.

Sean Bagshaw recently finished a set of videos entitled The Complete Guide to Luminosity Masks. The videos demonstrate how to use luminosity masks and many of the other techniques in the tutorials on this website. While I have been wanting to offer video instruction on these methods in response to customer requests, I’ve not had time to work on this project. When Sean Bagshaw mentioned that he was interested in making an in-depth series of video tutorials to match my written tutorials, I quickly accepted his offer. Sean was a teacher before he became a full-time photographer. He regularly teaches luminosity masking in his workshops and has produced an number of high-quality videos on Photoshop processing. This new series continues Sean’s classic style of conveying large amounts of information though concise dialog while demonstrating various procedures using actual images in Photoshop.
