Hello patrons,
This new video is part of the "little project" I made in Houdini and Redshift a while ago. In this part 1 of 2 video I show you how to create efficient tools in Houdini to deal with scattering, specifically focusing on environments. We are going to create a setup that takes care of randomization while using scattering techniques. Random rotation, random scale, random asset...

Camera projection masterclass, episode 02 is here! In this video, we are going to be doing two different exercises involving camera projection work in Nuke. The first exercise is a simple one, but also one you'll be doing all the time, a layering camera projection.
The second exercise is a more complex one, we'll be dealing with multiple geometries, different footag...

Hello Patrons,
It's been a while since I posted a video here. I did a little bit of traveling (not for fun though) and I've been super busy at work, but I finally managed to put something together for you guys.

Hello patrons,
I'm back in Stockholm and ready to pick this up right where I left it! Actually, I already worked a little bit on my next video. Still a few sessions (Saturdays) to have it ready for you guys, but it's on its way. It will be a long one about asset creation in SpeedTree. In future videos, we will be combining these assets with Houdini's scattering systems to produce massive...
Hello patrons,
I've been away for the last couple of weeks and most likely won't be returning home very soon, so do not expect anything on this Patron in the very near future. I apologize for that.
Before leaving home I was working on the next two videos, they will be all about SpeedTree, for vegetation and tree generation, and building complex scattering systems in Houdini. Yeah, to ...
Here it is, feel free to ask me any questions, suggestions for future videos or whatever comes to your mind.

Episode 01 for "real time rendering for vfx" is dropping later today. I called this video "your first day in Unreal engine". We will do from scratch a very simple environment that we can scout in virtual reality.
These are some of the topics covered in this (almost) 4 hours video.
- Assets considerations for real time.
- Exporting/importing assets in Maya/Unreal.
- Using tem...
In the "Intro to USD" video I used a couple of VEX lines to get the position and rotation from Maya locators into Houdini, using a copy to points to instance props in the environment. That workflows is meant to be used with "fixed assets", like cars, or furniture. If you are planning to do something organic, like a jungle, it is much better to use a more organic approach, like scatterer systems...

Hello Patrons,
I'm working on an introductory video to Houdini Solaris and USD. I was thinking of going through the basics of USD in general (as a concept, workflow) and then jump onto Houdini Solaris to show you how to build assets from USD, how to make changes across departments, how to add department-specific changes (final layout, fx, lighting, etc.) and finally how to assembly the s...

Hello patrons,
Due to the current lockdown situation that we are facing I might be able to post two tutorials a month. I can't promise but it might happen. Would you be ok with that? Do you think two tutorials a month is too much? Many people in our industry are losing jobs and I don't want to make the situation more complicated for anyone. Please vote so I can figure out what to do.
