Nothing big, just wanted to remind you guys that I'm alive and show a erosion solver I built in OpenCL that gives some unique results, note that some of the features in here are experimental, the main thing is that the wind-based erosion is not yet volume preserving. I might send this out for free if you kind folks have enough interest, please let me know if you might have a use for it, it deli...

Samuel: *casually creates a masterpiece, and is unsatisfied* Me: *struggles in Gaea for 3 years hoping the erosion node and a random satmap will do all the hard work, wondering why nothing looks good* LOL Samuel... you, your channel, and content.. are truly a gem <3 I learn how to be a better artist because of you and appreciate all that you do.
my laptop could never oh I also can't model this
really wish you had told us what you were clicking to do each step. Just as the subdivision part, and I'm already lost. I can't reproduce the sphere from the cube because you're not explaining it.... As you said, there's a lot of videos that are not quite helpful enough......
I liked this video. More terrain stuff please.
Hey buddy please let me know ur PC config
Good stuff
You've turned your lip-smack into a meme and shouldn't change it. Also this is nice, keep making these videos. I NEEDED this.
does Blender better for rendering?
Subscribed. Houdini instead of minecraft is brilliant. I would suggest just increase interface size a bit
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
cool stuff! between asmr and nature documentary. You do sound confident on the mic and the visuals are stunning as always!
Nice video man!
Great stuff, i think your videos are great 👍, you do a really good job explaining what you are doing technically and thinking out loud through your videos helps me with knowing what to consider when i do blender experiments on my own. You have a good artistic eye and I think that you explain things really well.
I have noticed the drastic sound improvement. As far as your voice and the "ums".....I don't care. All that just makes you as human as the rest of us. We're here for your VFX prowess not your ability to sound good while standing behind a podium. Just be you, warts, feathers and all, and you'll do fine. Peace Out, Erik
Are we able to get those nodes sometime?
happy to send them out if someone has a good use case, I don't plan on a public release though as I don't want the stress of maintaining a product
The world will explode
nah I think that would be good art dude
nice video man!
one of the examples of the animator's joke.
Pardon?
@@samk9632 Hi does Blender better for rendering?
Good info but I cant see the numbers of the nodes with the low resolution (Even I am viewing with 1080p), Maybe it is becouse my screen has different proportions than yours, or maybe it has to do with compression.
Nice
Just so you know, CG and CGI are two completely different things. CG stands for "computer graphics" and is a very broad term. CGI stands for "computer generated image", which is anything that's completely fake that's placed in a movie or show. CG is generally anything ranging from computer animation to video game design or even just 3D artwork. Get your terminology correct.
Here you have a list of for what CG stands for.

i want to learn houdini but don't know from where?there is almost nothing on youtube
Tip I got was going on their sidefx website, they have a lot of beginner tutorials that are probably the best. and by the way there are a lot of houdini tutorials if you look right.
Looking good Sam!
nice
Sam you Mad Man! I love this!
do you generally use houdini over gaea now? edit: nevermind I asked my question too early in the video
Yes. If I can't do something I want to do in Houdini I just make a tool for it and then don't have to worry about it again. I prefer working this way generally
@@samk9632 will you eventually do a more indepth video on the tools you're making in Houdini when you're feeling like they're close to finished?
@@fretstain yes
@@samk9632 Is it some sort of HDA where you're grabbing sliders from different nodes and combining them into single nodes for convenience?
@@samk9632 awesome! looking forward to that!
great stuff man
This was so fun to watch for some reason and so relaxing!! Great stuff as always Krug!
Glad to see more Houdini use. Really is the GOAT!
could we get a project file?
Hell yeah sam. Looks great!
when I render it in cycles the cloud isn't working up at all? its just blank? I follow step by step
how to animate this black hole?
bro ty for sharing this. Amazing work^^
how do I addd in a texture node
Tried it when 4.2 released the other day and was disappointed it was still fixed after all these years Glad it finally got some love
The number of likes on this is criminal for the quality of the output
You can use the object colours to use the same material for differently coloured lights or light intensities. It's not ideal and nowhere near as powerful as what you get with unreal's material instance of course, but better than having lots of copies of the same material. I totally agree material instances would be great to have in blender.
is very difficult to read the node
please use a 1920:1080 monitor to register the tutorial, my microscope is broken.
I assume the VDB is made in Houdini. the density attribute is attached in vertex group?
Where’d you get that cloud??
Damn these clouds look good!
tried in 3.6/4.0.2, don't have this problem
You do, you might just not notice it immediately
Wait, it took 4.3 for this to be fixed? I was so looking forward to 4.2.1😂
Oh man finally!
thank you soo sooo ssoo sooo sooo much
FINALY!!!!!!! I've waited for this bugfix for years!
It's not clickbait if it's true :)
Have to check, normally I otherwise use the global scattering and set a volume scatter for that for godray stuff, but convenient if you can add additional layers without any intersecting artifacts.
