The Gnomon Workshop - Introduction To The Houdini Ocean Toolset

The following project takes the large ocean scene and transitions to a close-up shot that incorporates a FLIP fluid simulation. You'll discover how to bring in your ocean spectrums and create custom waves to drive your FLIP simulation. Once the FLIP simulation is cached out, Danny discusses how to mesh and extend the simulation, as well as how to create additional ocean spray for the final effect. As the last step, you'll see how to set up some basic lighting and tweak the ocean shaders in Houdini to render out the two project scenes in Mantra, Houdini's rendering engine.
By completing this workshop, you'll have a sound knowledge of the Houdini Ocean Toolset and an understanding of how to customize ocean spectra to create a variety of ocean movements for your future projects.
Project files are available with this workshop, including the Houdini scene file with the final node setup for each lesson, along with the palm tree model used in the creation of the scene.
