Houdini COPs is actually an interesting graphics design and motion toolset because you can mix your SOP/DOP/COP techniques ....
Houdini 22 is LIVE! And I feel privileged being able to contribute a little bit. ☺️ youtu.be/wXsgN9xF9BY?...

Ah....back at the @everythingproc.bsky.social with @sidefx.bsky.social for my regular procedural fix. *chef's kiss
#EPC2026 Speaker announcement: @damjanmx.bsky.social Think COPs are just for texture synthesis? Think again. In this rapid-fire 30-minute investigation, we’re playing around with Houdini’s revamped Copernicus context to see how versatile it is. #procgen #Gamedev #Indiedev #techart #gamedesign
Procedural animation inspired by the artists of the internet, made with Houdini and COPs.
Continuing that Necro book, trying out procedural inner pages - everything done in COPs: - python expression in Font COP, to load a text from an online cookbook and break it into 20lines per page - per "frame" randomization - discoloration, edge breakup, edge decoration, center decoration...etc
Fun new wip/exercise: - full procedural modeling - procedural pages system and book opening - procedural skeleton and eye animation - minimal manual keyframes and chops for secondary motion #houdini #procedural #wip #necronomicon

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.
It's roughly 4 years since I started to work on the 3D sparse fluid solver for what will ultimately become EmberGen 2.0. A quick look at the current performance state of the solver. A previous retrospective thread from a couple years ago on that other place: x.com/vassvik/stat...

EPC is one of those niche conferences where you can just go and nerd out with the peers. If you are curious about my personal projects, the talk is live 😎 youtu.be/_kbqxXpBNwI?...

Loose the Goose - amuse or abuse, just refuse the blues. --------------------------------- Dark times jiggle me to make goofy things. Procedural loop - Houdini SOPs for base geo, COPs for texturing/displacement/compositing and post effects. Kinefx for neck wrenching :D
I'm getting engaged with personal projects again. #procedural #houdini #loop
Daily #procedural #houdini doodle with COPs and displacement.
Houdini 21 is out and I fell in love with work from The Line Studio // here is a small inspired piece. Stay hopeful.
