Houdini: Black Growth

$5
1 rating

This Houdini file takes you through the steps of how to build a growth effect, largely in VEX. The file is full of sticky notes, code comments and is broken down to introduce each concept one by one. It also included early version of the effect I made while exploring, and full render scenes set up in Karma, so you can render it out exactly like this animation.

Some of the things it includes:

  • Building data structures in VEX
  • Stepping through polyline networks
  • Biasing the growth along certain directions
  • 10 render scenes, ready to render in Karma
  • A lot of waffle in the code comments and sticky notes

NOTE - since this was made, the Find Shortest Path node was introduced, which can produce similar effects, so this file is for teaching VEX, data structures and Geometry building as much as it is about making this particular effect.
