SideFX presented a new masterclass series on the simulation of muscles and tissue in Houdini 21.
This masterclass series, taught by Liesbeth Levick, Character Effects Technical Director at SideFX, demonstrates the use of the new Otis solver, alongside other new features of the software. The learning materials would be relevant for artists who are new to Houdini and seasoned Houdini professionals.
The materials, structured in chapters, cover geometry preparation for muscles and tissue, Muscle Solidify and Fiber Groom nodes, the Otis workflow, the Otto simulation recipe, the new Muscle Auto Tension Lines node, the Muscle Flex node, and more, comprising the details of visualizing anatomically accurate muscle structure using the brand-new Houdini features. The masterclass includes 21 videos, which are available for free.
