Howdy all,
I have two separate questions which are more or less unrelated. I need to
create an underwater lighting scene, but am a little stumped on how to get rays
of light in Houdini. The is a lit fog shop that I wanted to try, but I could not
find anything that it plugs into. If one of y'all could give me a general
starting point on where to look, I would appreciate. The light beams are the
only thing I really have left to do in the scene. I know how to do it in other
apps, but comping it in in post would be very challenging.
Question 2, I am playing around with the trail sop trying to create strings
from a particle sim. I get lines between the trail points, but I want renderable
geometry like a tube. Spent most of last night playing with various nurb
functions (I usually poly model so I had to really refresh my memory.) I haven't
found anything that works properly. Closest I came was using bridge but it also
generated geometry between the ends of the separate strings. If y'all could point
me in the right direction on this as well, I would appreciate it.
