This presentation gives you a quick overview of the new tools that have recently been added to the SideFX Labs toolset. Find out what the new tools are, and how we have made it a lot easier to install SideFX Labs.

Paul Ambrosiussen is currently a Technical…

This session will present an overview of the destruction techniques used for creating game-ready assets. It will cover problems that were experienced during production and what subnetworks and tools were created to solve them. These problems range from generating…

Working on the Ghost Recon franchise, Benoit and his team developed around Houdini an innovative and dedicated toolchain to shape the world and produce a wide variety of environments. This lecture will describe the techniques and technology behind this work…

In this video, we discuss the three key constructs in PDG, how the PDG graph fundamentally works at a technical level, how to perform basic customizations and additions on top of the PDG platform, the basics of how PDG interacts with existing schedulers on…

In Houdini, networks of nodes can be easily wrapped up into Houdini Digital Assets then shared with other artists. With the Houdini Engine, these assets can be loaded into the Unity game editor with procedural controls available to artists.

The results can…

Today we look at drawing symmetry. This small but powerful setup allows to create complex symmetrical figures with just a few strokes.

I am currently doing some brain storming what interesting tools one can build, to utilize a tablet pen. For that research…

Gradient descent is an optimization algorithm used to minimize some function by iteratively moving in the direction of steepest descent as defined by the negative of the gradient.

Pragmatic VEX series is aimed to increase the technical capacity of the artists…
