FFX Collection A

FFX Collection A - Houdini 19.5

(1)

Version 2.0 is available now! This is a free update, so if you purchased 1.0 and are having trouble getting the 2.0 version DM and I will get you taken care of.

FFX Collection is a collection of scene builds and techniques for intermediate users of Houdini, or for those looking for quick setups, wanting to get more familiar with VEX use cases, or wanting to get started in Karma and Material X.

Two purchase locations are available for your convenience. You may purchase through Orbolt, or through Gumroad. The HDA carries the same content at both locations.

This collection of "presets" as it were, showcases a variety of topics within Houdini. Builds include FLIP, RBD, Vellum, POP, Pyro Solver, SOPs, VOPs, VEX, LOPs, TOPs, Karma, and Material X.

The HDA is a simple drop down list of all fifty builds, of which you simply choose the one you want and click "Build It". The tool will generate the entire build for you automatically. By default there is Network box organization to help understand the flow and processes that are occuring. Additionally there are annotated tips, and explainer sticky notes to help with techniques and expressions used. These annotations are also optional and can be turned off before building a network setup.

For those wanting to dive straight into everything there is to offer, there is a "Build All Of Them!" button to create all 50 builds. This option will have each build turned off by default, so as to not overload your machine with too many items trying to cook.

All builds involve a variety of techniques and contain lots of useful information. Each "category" is defined by the primary method used for each build solution. Be that by SOP nodes directly, VEX code, VOPs network, or even by simulation type like Vellum, FLIP, RBD, or PyroSolver.
