Session 08

This session should take less than 3h.

Task 1 - Learning More About Fluids (or Ignoring Fluids and Working with Audio in Houdini)

Option 1

• Read the original paper Real-Time Fluid Dynamics for Games from Jos Stam
  • The additional resources in the slides might also help for a better understanding
• Start to implement the paper yourself
  • C++ is a good choice here!
  • For glsl you will probably need to use textures as data structures - manageable but an additional challenge
  • p5

Submit your code however far you got in the given as pgs_ss22_08_lastname.xx, and if possible image file as pgs_ss22_08_lastname.png.

Option 2

Chose any fluid-related Houdini tutorial. For example:

• Doxia Studio: Mix Fluids From Image
• VoxelFX: Introduction to fluid simulations #1 - FLIP fluid tools - Houdini 18, #2 - Colliders, #3 - Forces
• Houdini Liquid Flow Tutorial
• CG Wiki - Flip Fluids
• …

Submit your houdini file as pgs_ss22_08_lastname.hipnc and at least one image file as pgs_ss22_08_lastname.png.

Option 3

If fluids are at this point not of interest to you, alternatively you can complete the following tutorial from Simon Stimberg that connects Audio to Houdini.

• Tutorial 07

Go through the tutorial and make the example your own.

Submit your houdini file as pgs_ss22_tutorial_07_lastname.hipnc, at least one image file as pgs_ss22_tutorial_07_lastname.png and one animation as pgs_ss22_tutorial_07_lastname.xx.

Happy Flowing!
