HeightFields for Crowds

In this tutorial I show how you can use heightFields to speed up crowds with terrain adaptation.

Crowd Basics 2: The Transition Graph

Part 2 in my Crowd Basic Series. This time about transitions with the help of the transition graph. You probably want to check out part 1 as well if you are new to crowds in Houdini. 

Crowd Basics 1: Locomotion And Foot Locking

In this video I'm talking about some basic, but important crowd concepts that often seem to be forgotten.

Thanks Olivier Jeannel for the suggestion!

 

XSI To Houdini 3: The Solver Node

In this tutorial I'm talking about how you can reproduce XSI's simulation stack with a Solver node in Houdini.
