How to use the RBD Procedural in Houdini 20.5
I'M BACK!
Was struggling to set this up, so figured I would record a video about how to do it now that i've figured it out.
The RBD procedural is a way to render heavy rigid body dynamics in Solaris/Karma.

Houdini 20 - Karma XPU Demo - Bottoms Up with XPU
Переглядів 1,8 тис.7 місяців тому
Noticed I never uploaded my demo sequence on UA-cam! So thought i'd do that. SideFX asked me to create a sequence that would show off a lot of the new features Karma XPU has to offer such as nested dieletrics, cryptomattes, geolights, and a lot more! Check out my presentation about it on the Houdini 20 hive: ua-cam.com/video/Mh3iRX5TwfU/v-deo.htmlsi=P4ZCU1LSBw-p1zf2

Thanks for the tutorial! Am i right, that if you use "file cache" points location in houdinirbdprocedural, you than get absolut path in usd.a file, instad of using "primitive location" to points, thet can be writen relativly? It make sense for farm rendering for instance.
welcome back!
Great to see you back!
Be well. Thanks so much for all you do for us.
Did you figure out how to have deformation motion blur on the pieces? So far I have been only able to add velocity motion blur. Thank you for these tutorials!
the procedural picks up on the v and w attributes when deforming it so that's what it used, works out of the box if you enable it.
I was just earlier checking an older tutorial, wondering when are you going to post the next one and then I saw this in a Houdini group on Facebook. Nice timing. :)
First of all - be well, man! And now I'll watch next part of the video.
welcome back great sir ❤❤
This is by far the most confusing node name I've seen in Houdini. Why Houdini in Houdini node name? and also procedural has too broad meaning. The only thing related is probably RBD then RBD what..? haha
@@TaekOhFX They essentially call everything that can be rendered directly by HUSK(the command line USD render thingy) a procedural and i don’t think they even require Houdini/engine licence to run. They have multiple of them, there’s also the hair procedural and the ocean procedural.
@@TimvanHelsdingen Interesting that it also comes with ocean and others! It makes more sense now
@@TimvanHelsdingen They have two types of procedurals right now. Basic - usually called Houdini something, that does not require any Houdini license run (not even a hython/hengine) and the User procedurals/All - user can create their own procedural (we have created RBD Procedural in H20 previous to this) but it requires atleast Houdini Engine license to run before starting the render to process the input before rendering the image.
Thank you, Tim. I’m very happy to see you again and that you’re better. Thanks for the tutorial. I’ve been following you for about five or six years now.
@@HoudinifxAlfredosanmartin Thanks Alfredo! that’s quite a while haha, almost as long as i’ve been doing Houdini tutorials (started doing those in 2016)
@@TimvanHelsdingen I learned a lot of things in Houdini thanks to you since I started in 2016. At that time, I would look at the screen sideways and take notes in notebooks and folders, haha. I didn’t understand anything. I still do, but now it’s more dynamic, haha : )
So happy to see you back!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us
Take it easy Van, hope you doing well. All the best wishes to you.
Welcome back Legend we miss you ❤❤
Happy to be uploading again! :D
Glad you are doing better Tim and still kicking.
I can only get the attribtransfer to apply where the meshes intersect, there would be specks of black color in the middle of where I placed the eyes. So instead I turned the eye copies into a VDB and ran an VDB Intersect to subtract the eyes from the base.
@@doomydot whatever works! beauty of houdini. For the attributetransfer: maybe your radius just needed to be bigger?
@@TimvanHelsdingen I feel no matter the settings I input to the attribtransfer I get rings of white instead of circles. If I up the blend width it kind of works but then the eye sockets become a lot larger than the eye itself.
A little tip: Be more organized on nodes. Your setup is awesome, but a mess on the node connection, which is hard for people who are learning to understand

If you do buy a second kit of the same part number of ram and if they dont work together right away if you loosen your memory timings and down clock your ram you should be able to get them to work together. Viewport rendering in cycles absolutely uses cuda. Also if you do video editing Intel has what they call quicksync and that helps decode and encode video faster, but I would not buy an Intel CPU right now due to a massive amount of failure of 13th and 14th gen intel cpu's. Nvidia has killed nvlink completely now. Also the rtx 2000 ADA is the most affordable nvidia gpu with 16gb of vram currrently. Also you said 3060TI has 12gb, you have that backwards it's the regular 3060 that has 12gb. There's a 4060TI that has 12gb now though. 3 drives System drive, Project drive , and cache drive. Puget Systems only ever uses Air Cooling for their CPU coolers, and they are an extremely reputable high end workstation system integrator.

It won't allow me to access the groups I outputted in sops in the attribute wrangle in the sop solver.
I really like your videos, I have learned a lot Bro, a question Is there any chance you can make a tutorial on how to bring a fluid simulation along with textures to Unreal Engine? I've searched for days and days on the internet and I haven't found something that would work for me, it would be great if you could make one.
Thanks Tim! Question: I want to export my animated character + vellum drape to game engine. I'm using the rop_ FBX character output node but it isn't working...my animated character works fine in the engine but the vellum drape doesn't animate at all. Any tips on that? Cheers!
@@josebringas513 there are some labs tools to export rbd and cloth. What it does is bake the position data to a exr that you can then apply as a position offset in your shader in a game engine
Needed this for a beach sim, thanks Tim for being one of the only people highlighting features like this.
Great lesson! So many solid tips! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏
Sounds like if I hit that like button it's a benefit for humanity as a whole 😌☝️
I do the same thing you did in COPS but .... nothing happens. I extract emission pass and try to apply redshift postfx bloom on it but nothing. but when I connect entire source exr layer to redshift postfx bloom it works... what's going on, do you have any idea why? and I ofc can't find any info on the internet about it

Nice tutorial !! sadly i cannot apply on my case because my displacement map is a mix of different maps with triplanars, is it possible to use this technique using this workflow? Someone else asked this thing also

This course is the only one that has actually helped me understand how the fundamental parts of Houdini work. Something about how you just play with it as you talk that really explains it well.
