Houdini was was up to it's old tricks but Chris weathered through and delivered a clear presentation. During Houdini Secrets Live!, 3:00 pm EST, Chris, without a mask, showed how to create a 200 peice explosion inside UE4 using Houdini VAT - Rigid Bodies. He also introduced a new demonstrational character: Sluggo!
Progress continues to make progress on Real-Time Visual Effetcs For The Technical Artist. Today Chris finished the first draft of the last technical chapter in the book, Particles. He will spend the next week proof-reading this document before return towards the start with Chapter2: The Rules of Visual Effects. Yolanda Patino had an opportunity to look over the image list for Chapter 7 and has started working. Emma Condie just agreed to help with the images for Chapter 6: Simulations. The contributions from Yolanda and Emma will provide a significant boost towards compleating the text! Thank you Yolanda and Emma!
