Houdini Particle Doodle

While not trying to do the “Daily” thing, I do wanna try to do SOMETHING in Houdini everyday as a learning exercise. Last night I got into some particle effects which was super fun. Using only three nodes and no code I was able to come up with this movement. I just did a bunch of keyframing in the popAxisForce, popAttract and popWind nodes.

Rendered out in Redshift and then I threw some sound design on top of it all in Davinci Resolve. Pretty fun little piece for a quick little doodle.
