Download This Cool New Bubble Generator for Houdini

Both free and paid versions are available.

Around a week ago, CG Artist and Designer Andrew Weiler blew up the internet by releasing Water Bubble Generator, a custom, free-to-download setup for Houdini that lets one create water bubble simulations, complete with some engaging features like burst probability, secondary bubble spawning, and trails.

Responding to the community's enthusiastic reception, the artist promptly enhanced the setup, revealing Water Bubble Generator v2 a mere week afterward.

Expanding upon the capabilities of the initial version, WBG v2 introduces a host of new features, such as the ability to "bubblize" input geometry, more intuitive controls, cleaner meshing and cache management, custom mask attribute to blend shader settings between input and bubble sim geometry, custom AOV matte (Karma) to easily blend render passes in compositing applications, and more.

"This file covers a lot of ground, so my hope is that this can also be a useful learning tool for students and anyone who's new to Houdini," commented Andrew. "To that end, I've added sticky notes throughout the file and did my best to keep all the networks as compact and straightforward as possible."

You can download the first version of the generator here (free) and the second one over here (paid). Don't forget to join our 80 Level Talent platform and our Telegram channel, follow us on InstagramTwitter, and LinkedIn, where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.
