LogInCheck out Threadify, a neat HDA to make thread geometry in Houdini.
Bola Motion, a 3D motion graphics studio led by Digital Artist Antônio Souza, has released Threadify, a brand new Houdini Digital Asset (HDA) that lets you generate thread and fiber geometry in Houdini, a procedural 3D software developed by SideFX.
Currently available in Beta, Threadify was designed specifically to help artists create impressive 3D fabric and thread shots. To get started, all you need to do is connect the node to any set of curves or lines, and it will generate a thread geometry for each primitive using your available attributes.
Threadify 1.0 (Beta) Features:
- Easily generate fiber geometry for ultimate thread and cloth realism.
- Realistic bend and curl of the fibers at the tips.
- Layer Threadify nodes to get more details in fast.
- Easy fiber count and thread fill options with automatic fiber thickness calculations.
- Facilitates thread animation and simulations.
- Easy to add variations
- Export useful attributes for curve rendering and simulation
Moreover, the HDA also comes with a free Threadify Detangle 1.0 tool, which prevents threads from intersecting. According to the developers, it is "faster and easier than using the Detangle SOP by yourself".
