Different animation effects can be layered to quickly create movement of high complexity.

The user is then free to tweak the effect to their liking. Simply right click, select the corresponding option and Houdini will set up the CHOP network, its imports and exports and some sensible defaults. For example, if the user has key framed a bouncing ball (wildly inventive!) they can then use motion effects to cycle the motion, or add a filter such as smooth or noise. Motion FX is accessible via the context menu on any field in the parameter pane and furnishes the user with a range of animation post-processing options. Motion FX is the cool new feature aimed at re-establishing in artists' minds the power of one of Houdini's often overlooked contexts: channel operators or CHOPs.

The user is even also able to dictate the width of nodes with the HOUDINI_NODE_WIDTH environment variable. With regard to UI cosmetics, the most obvious addition is the availability of the 'Houdini Dark' color scheme, which is a little easier on the eyes and was a commonly downloaded color scheme file with version 9. Previously it was not uncommon to use a third party text editor to load when using the alt+e shortcut, this may do away with that necessity.

This has now been bestowed with a plethora of new tools, such as code indenting, designating comments, undo/redo and search and replace.

Another noteworthy upgrade is an overhaul to the default alt+e expression editor. The introduction of post-its to enable the user to more easily comment their networks and an upgrade to netboxes, which can now be placed inside one another, are also useful additions.

These are small tweaks, but with the advent of large networks undoubtedly useful time savers. Other enhancements include automatic selection of parent or children nodes when a node is clicked on while simultaneously holding shift or ctrl respectively. Watch a tutorial of the Motion FX advances in Houdini 10. Nodes will now automatically wire together if placed between two other wired nodes and will also disconnect from nodes when shaken. Central to these features is node behavior akin to Shake. New features to the network editor have been made which will help to address this and make the process more efficient. Whereas this process can be automated through the use of H-script and now HOM, this requires scripting knowledge that many users may not have. In Houdini much time is spent wiring and manipulating nodes. These efforts focus mainly on improving work flow, refinement of the new dynamics features of 9 and a more solid establishment of Houdini's Python integration via the Houdini Object Module (HOM), with a more complete implementation of commands and more comprehensive documentation.

The answer is, in contrast to 9's substantial changes, consolidation and optimization.

HoudiniTutorials - conversational, borderline rambling tutorials.Dean Grubb tests the new Houdini 10, which offers Motion FX, an enhanced Python and a few more cool features.Īfter the dramatic UI overhaul and dearth of new features seen by the progression from version 8 to version 9 of Side Effects Houdini, many industry professionals will be keen to see what's in store for its imminent version 10 incarnation.

Once you can move the viewport and get into a SOP network, you can start working through this site, I suggest in this order:

#Houdini motion fx flat line audio download#

There's a download link in the description to get the same file I'm demonstrating with, gives a bit of an insight to how Houdini is used (skip to about 10 mins in if you don't want to hear my life story): If you like video tutorials, but want to play long, maybe watch me blather on in a webinar I recorded for sidefx.

Check out the Sidefx Learning Paths, clear quickstart guides to show you the basics.

It's free, and gives you access to everything you need. If that's you, then you probably want to do these steps first: If you don't, don't worry, the core UI is very simple, and shouldn't take more than an hour to learn. This site assumes you can navigate around Houdini and know the basics. So you've decided to take a look at Houdini? Good for you! If you're still not sure and you're a competent Maya user, maybe skim the MayaToHoudini page, it might convince you.
