In this series of lessons, we're going to be using random seeds to generate variations on one animation system using a SOP solver with DOPs. Software required: Houdini 11.0.

What you'll learn

In this series of lessons, we're going to be using random seeds to generate variations on one animation system using a SOP solver with DOPs. We'll learn how to build a procedural SOP Network and simulate its behavior using a SOP Solver in tandem with RBD. We will light and shade this geometry to build an animation system that can be run to create an infinite number of possibilities. Software required: Houdini 11.0.
