Virtual Reality Special Effects with Houdini SideFX Grid
Chaman L. Sabharwal · International Journal of Latest Engineering and Management Research (IJLEMR) · 2022
Most of the special effects in Houdini sideFXare created by using one simple planar node.Some of the planar nodes are grid, circle, and heightField.These nodes have interesting properties similar and unlike in terms of geometry and special effects.We explore the hidden gems to show how Houdini SideFX can leverage them to develop "grid" based animations.We describe the progression of systematic development using elementary Houdini grid node and explore how this node can lead to complex multifaceted scene views in virtual reality.With the advent of COVID-19, Virtual Reality has revolutionized academic world whether it is in-class teaching, online teaching, participating in the conferences in-person, or remotely, individual zoom meetings and all that.In addition, it leads to innovation and development of new courses eBooks replacing printed books.Virtual reality was mainly in the realm of film and entertainment industry.It is changing the education culture altogether, andis becoming the mainstay in every aspect of visualization.With this paper we show how immersion results in innovation of new applications and how complex scenes can be created easily.
