Great point! I actually forgot about tops for this. I'll look into it and see. I'll have to convert my flipbook shelf tool into tops as well since I use shelf tool to write out my playblasts.

With your method, would you need to export out two sets of images? One that's playblast and one that has the overlay?

Happy to help!

Thanks a lot! Yeah I'm thinking of teaching a bit more vex and maybe even python for future videos. Any specific content you want to see more of?

@@TyHoudinifx Practical VEX would be amazing. And MPM. How to really control it. 😍

@@philippwelsing9108 Awesome thanks for feedback. I haven't played with MPM at all, but when I do I might do tutorial. Sounds good I'll do tutorial on vex stuff soon. Thanks again.

Hi, I couldn't find it. I think that's the way to go. With the snippet in the vop. I guess that's one of the functions that's not in vop land.

​@@TyHoudinifx yo. thanks. i thinks too there isnt a twin function in vop

Thanks! I hope you are well.

Thanks for the feedback. Wouldn't I need to fit the f to a different value since the threshold being as f would make everything break all at once? I just tried it and everything breaks all at once. Cool about the neighbourcount tip! Thanks a lot!

@@TyHoudinifx I'm pretty sure the float value is used as a multiplier for the chosen attribute, but I might be wrong here.

​ @khomatech6428 Makes sense. Looks like I still have to use popwrangle to bring attribute in because it doesn't seem to bring in animation from sops. Oh well, it was a nice idea. Here's my file in case you want to take a look and fix: qihomulifi@HPaste I'm always open to learning new ways of doing things and if I can avoid this craziness I will in a heartbeat.

Glad it helped!

Thanks so much! Makes me very happy to hear that

The uv is technically 3 components. UVW. Honestly, I'm not too sure what the w is. The u is 'left right' component, v is 'up and down' according to the uv view editor. w, however, I'm not so sure. Perhaps the "depth" of how the uvs are projecting? I'm noticing that a grid has a w value of 0.5 and a sphere with uv project has a w of much more varying numbers. Our main concern especailly for primuv() functions and such is just the u and v component since that tells us where it is on the primitive. Usually you only have to worry aboutt the u and v component as far as I know. Thanks your question and hopefully I somewhat answered it.

You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome! Happy to help

You want more Pyro and water tutorials? Anything specific?

Happy to help!

Awesome stuff, very well explainned and exemplified

@@duendex5 Awesome to hear! Thanks! Would you like more content related to vex functions?

@@TyHoudinifx always keen for in deph vex stuff!

@@duendex5 Great, I'll keep that in mind. If you have any functions you would like to learn more about, just shoot them my way. If I know them I'll do a in depth on them.

That's awesome! Glad it was helpful! I plan on making more tutorials like it.

Your welcome! Hope it helps

You're welcome!

Hi thanks for the reply. I apologize for not getting back to you sooner as I didn't see this reply. Yes, and it would depend how the water leaked out. If it leaked out slowly after an initial crack that I feel would be harder to accomplish than a bursting all at once. If it bursts all at once you could force all points to be in the !bottle group and it should be that simple. Check the description of the video for the velocity update I show to show how to get correct velocities. If you need more help I can certainly talk to you more about it. Just DM me or reply with any questions.

Glad you found it helpful. I'll keep your comments in mind in the future and not use the tool in the future as I see now that it adds confusion. Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! This is great. I'll provide the hip file when I get home tonight. I'll keep this in mind for future tutorials. My goal for using the presets was I didn't want to waste time building the same systems we have seen over and over again in countless tutorials and waste users time.

You can also download the tool I used for free with all the presets I used and more. Link is in description. The tutorial is designed to uplift the tool in a way showing how you can use it in production.

Here is the hipfile. tinyurl.com/houdiniFlipTutorial

Same goes for me. First time you dropped the RBD Nodes with a Preset I was feeling a bit frustrated. Even though it does not seem that hard to follow it takes a lot more energy to make sure your doing the same thing as you. Great that you share your file though! Thanks a lot!

Your welcome!

Thank you!

Hi @spiderbrr, there's a series of things that contribute to that problem but typically it's because there isn't enough 'volume' or 'pressure' to keep the particles afloat. It would be best to see a hipfile if you can host it on google drive and I can take a look for you. Usually you need to adjust the amount of particles in your simulation, perhaps it's not enough. You can also adjust the radius scale as this will allow particles to collide sooner when falling and not lose volume.

You're welcome!

Thanks so much!

Yes and yes. Sorry, I put the link in the description just now.

Welcome! Feel free to donate on gumroad if you find it helpful and you can afford it

Thanks a lot! Appreciate it!

Thank you! :)
