Floating Particles inside of an animated/changing geometry | Full Houdini Tutorial (HIP File)

00:00 Intro
00:12 Setting up the animated font
01:59 Setting up the Flip source
04:14 Setting up the Flip simulation
07:21 Setting up the collision in the simulation
10:20 Caching and cleaning up the simulation
15:12 Rendering with Redshift
26:50 Rendering Party :D
27:07 Final tweaks and conclusion

In this tutorial, we will go through a complete process of seeing how to achieve floating particles inside your animated or changing geometry.

We will start by making an animated text(font) and later will use it as a collider for our floating particles.
After that, we will go through the process of setting up our Flip Fluid simulation and making our particles to float inside the changing text that we made earlier.
In the final chapter, we will take a look at rendering with Redshift. We will start by setting up our material and colors, 'pscale' attribute that defines the scale of our particles and finally the lighting.

I hope you found this useful!

youtube compression doesnt do the effect justice whatsoever.

The emission shader tapering off would have been nice to see.

Love the tutorial! One question: how did you make the particles glow when moving quickly (as in the second example render) - thanks again for putting this together.

Hello there. What is the reason why my render screen turns black?

[OMGITSGB]

the pscale thing wont work, iv done it like 10 times deleted and came back and i cant get it to work.... any ideas what might be wrong?

[DimaShishkov]

Great tutorial. Picked up a couple tricks from it. Thanks for sharing.

More Tutorial for houdini and focus on fluid and whitewatr please

[CharlesPrithviRaj]

im getting only a few particles, particles seperation doesnt make a difference no matter how low I go. any thoughts ?

[nokiaairtel]

Someone please make this in Blender also 😭😭

That was one of the best free houdini tutorials I've ever seen! Thanks a lot!
