Houdini Spiral Galaxy Tutorial

Houdini Spiral Galaxy Tutorial

Just a quick post to promote my new tutorial for cmivfx.  It shows how to create a 3D spiral galaxy from scratch.  The images used to promote the video are the actual images made from the tutorial.  It covers creating a vortex star simulation in POPS, DOPS smoke simulation for the gas, and a SOPS system for the background star field.  I go through material creation, rendering, and compositing.  I also provide a finished hip file that has all the networks in it.  I should note that this is more of a creative approach, rather than a scientific approach, so if you are looking for something like an n-body approach, you won’t find that here.

I hope people find this tutorial easy to understand, well thought out, and presented clearly.  I believe CMIVFX is offering a discount code at the moment, so if you are looking to purchase it, now would be a good time.

Brand New Website!

Here it is!

I have switched over my hosting now to Media Temple. The switch was relatively painless. I got a little bit of grief from my old hosting company, who did not want to see me go, but I think this will be a good move for me. I feel like I’ll be getting a lot more for a lot less with MT.

Some links may not be working anymore since the switch, as I cleaned up my server. Please let me know if something isn’t where it is supposed to be.

Thanks!
Adam
