Hi! I'm Alvaro Castañeda, best known as "varomix". I lost a little of my self back in 1993 at a Jurassic Park screening, and that totally changed my life. Toy Story finished the job in 1995 - there was no turning back! I started my way in 3D back in 1998, first using 3ds Max, then Cinema4D and finally in 1999, I met Maya 2.0. Since then I've done CGI for print, web, TV, Film, DVD, I guess anything that has pixels in it!

    Why are you charging money for a tutorial linked from the free tutorials on SideFX’s webpage?

    If you’re not going to screen it for free, you should remove it from their free tutorials section.

      Hi!

      SideFX have kindly featured this tutorial in the list on their site completely of their own accord, and we’re incredibly grateful for it! From what I’ve seen, the list isn’t specifically a ‘free’ tutorial list, more a list of resources available to artists learning Houdini. There are of course other free tutorials available in the list (including some here on Cgtuts+ – http://cg.tutsplus.com/category/tutorials/houdini/ )

      I hope that helps clear things up a little :)

      Thanks again,

      Matt

    This is really easy to do, you need transfer color to particle grid, and add thats color value to particle position in vop sop, than copy pins to particle grid
