Coral Tendrils
Added 2024-07-23 13:24:33 +0000 UTCIn this video I show you how to model and animate/simulate a type of coral with lots of wavy tendrils using vellum hair. We'll then move into Redshift for a quick rundown on how to texture it.

Cool tutorials, I am not using Redshift but Karma XPU and am able to follow along. The same concepts from Redshift work in Karma well.

2025-04-17 09:10:47 +0000 UTCThanks for fun training! I find easier to tweak ramp of tendril shape if I put f@width = chramp ("width", @curveu)/20; so you wont have to deal with super low profile ramp.

Try enabling the visualisation of the thickness on your hairs so you can check it. Also maybe try adding more points to your lines? That might help give it more collision data

2024-09-08 13:38:08 +0000 UTCHi Thijs, Do you know why I can not play the animation inside the solver node? Every time I modify a parameter of the pop force, I need to get out of the node and go back to the main context where the vellum node is. Thank you

2024-07-28 08:51:27 +0000 UTCHi Ian, awesome tutorial! I was wondering, if I wanted to randomize the length of line1, where should I apply an attribute randomize node? Or is there a smarter way to do this?
