Art Direct Your Instances! Houdini File & HDAs | Explosion Setup included.
Want to have multiple explosions in your shot? Let's populate them!
Why go through the trouble of simulating each Fx when we can just populate a scene with a few!
About:
The Populate Toolset is a comprehensive HDA (Houdini Digital Asset) Toolkit designed for intricate control to populate a scene with various caches. The OTL uses a bundle system, so we can switch between a low-resolution proxy cache and a high-resolution render cache anytime. This makes it easy for artists to preview shots, layout simulations and art direct timing as per their needs.
What do I get?
- A .hiplc file which contains an example as shown in the demo video & an explosion setup.
- 4 open .hdalc that can be used in any scene
- A guide to installing the HDAs as part of your Houdini packages.
How does this Setup Help?
- Easy Layout: Create quick and easy layouts and previews for your shots without using high config machines and dealing with the laggy viewport.
- Quick Controls: Get quick controls to art direct your simulation like adjusting scales, rotation and timing.
- Randomizer: An easy randomizer to get started with.
- Override Tool: When you need small adjustments just use the override tool to fix it!
- Gizmos: Gets user friendly preview gizmos that help artists preview scales and placements of cache.
