Excellent tutorial. You made me feel I can really learn Houdini eventually. One question: I want to incorporate the particles back to the original model of the pig head, because I want to texture it and then have the particles react to it. Can I do this with a simple merge node back to the textured head? What is the node sequence for this?
@nothingifnotcritical
3 жыл бұрын
Hello! We can talk more in depth via email if you'd like to email me at contact@appliedhoudini.com, but I'd say that it would really depend on what you mean by having particles react to it. Yes you can use a merge node to have your post-sim particles and polygon geometry together, but I suspect that's not what you have in mind...

Hey, why exactly should we divide the age and life as shown in 1:09:57 ? What relevance does that value have ? It just went over my head.
@nothingifnotcritical
2 жыл бұрын
Age is how long the particle has been alive, and life is how long it will live before being removed. So age divided by life is a number from 0 to 1 that represents where it is in its lifespan!

They are all the same node, just with the Run Over parameter set differently as you say. In fact, it's set to Point for both the Point VOP and Attribute VOP, so there's no difference between those two at all!

Hello! To normalize a vector is to make a vector that is one unit long, while still pointing in the same direction. Mathematically speaking, this is done by dividing the vector by its own length! Hope that helps.
