Thank you so much @HoudiniSchool 🙏🙏🙏
Happy Halloween! 🎃
This is so neat Irinel Papuc 😍 @_pointindex is a 3D Designer & Co-Founder of grundform. His work primarily revolves around crafting geometry and animations in Houdini. Irinel created this fluid simulation using #Houdini.

Spidey is crawling its way through the desert. A couple of million points. Spent a day optimizing the sim, cache time, and disk space. This way, it not only simulates what's moving, but also only saves what's actually moving. Compressing the points afterward reduces a good chunk of data, giving Spidey room to stomp its way through the sand.

Working on a sand simulation for the spider and encountered something very new in Houdini (for me). Did you know the SOP Solver is actually a DOP Network in disguise, and you can not only dive into it, but there are also way more settings you need to know about than the usual Solver workflow suggests?
Like, interpolation of values can go terribly wrong, looking good on whole frames 1, 2, 3, but going crazy on fractional frames.
The workaround is to "Allow Editing" on your Solver, dive into it (there is a hole new world), select the DOP and uncheck "Interpolate Display Data" there.
Soooo.... intuitive...

Procedural walk and rig done. Spidey can walk, climb (not too steep), and turn around. I did the transforms manually due to insufficient default options, but it was pretty straightforward, with just some adjustments needed for the rotations.
It still doesn’t feel really alive, though, so I have to think about secondary motion, twitching, random stops or slowdowns, and all of that without adding too many keyframes.
Very helpful, especially for mechanical rigs that need custom rotations and precise, controlled movements around joints and gears.
Spidey is getting new legs. Movement is slightly improved, too. The rest of the body will follow, with a couple of secondary motions on top.
2 keyframes manually set.
