They got me thinking and ignited the passion and resolution in me to one day become a part of it. Jurassic Park and King Kong were movies I watched over and over again. Hi Alessandro, I have always wanted to go into VFX. How did you get into water/fluid simulation work? Was it out of curiosity, necessity, or a random event? I have shared a few of my overnight simulations with the public. I always like to do some wedge tests overnight so that by morning I would have seen how some parameters work, and also the subsequent result to be expected. I believe you mean suggestions for simulation enhancement. It depends, it's either I'm working on another workstation or watching the making of a movie or I'm reading articles from VFX studios on how they executed some special movie effects. What do you do during simulation? Facebook? Also, I recently built a new workstation with 2 Xeon- 40core/80Threads and with a Ram capacity of 128GB. I have two Core i7 workstations with processor numbers 47 each with a RAM capacity of 32GB. What is your machine specs, and how many PC or laptops do you have? I just do my simple Shader using their workflow. So in reality, everything is already inside Houdini. I basically extract that part from the Fluid Shader, and the Foam Section from the Ocean Shader and mix them together. In Houdini 15, inside the new Fluid Shader, there is a vorticity bump section that lets you add details in vorticity area and makes you use rest to follow that flip motion. Hi Chen, the foam texture I did on whale RnD is a mix of Flip Rest and Ocean Shader foam part. May I know some details of foam texture development in Houdini?
