Jonathan Lavanant post SCENE FILE | Lipstick MPM Texture - Houdini & Redshift

Hey everyone,

As promised, here is the project file from the tutorial.
You’ll find the full Houdini setup to create and art direct the lipstick texture using the MPM Solver, including the UV workflow, random source attributes, meshing, and lookdev tricks.

Feel free to explore, tweak, break things, and make it your own.
If you use this setup in a project, I’d love to see what you create!

Thanks again for your support it really means a lot. 🙌
Enjoy!

2024.

Hi Patrons,

I sincerely apologize for the recent inactivity and lack of communication. Over the past month, I’ve been dealing with a family issue that put everything in my life on hold, including my clients' projects.

I’m now slowly getting back to work, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to provide any tutorials for December. I’m truly sorry for this and appreciate your understanding during this time.

Thank you for your continued support. Wishing you a wonderful end...

Jonathan Lavanant post TUTORIAL | Compositing With Houdini - Redshift & After Effects

Hello guys,

In this tutorial I'll show you my entire process for compositing. I've already made a similar tutorial in the previous months, but now after effects have the OCIO by default and the process is a bit different. As I still receive some message about color issue in post production, I think it can be a good idea to make an update for everyone with some cool tips for you :)

Hope you'll enjoy,

See you in the next one!!
