Custom Houdini Vellum softbody cutter

Needed to streamline cutting things in Houdini. Built this custom Vellum softbody knife. It handles pretty much any pre-fractured stuff you throw at it 😊. Technically it's a custom coded collider that pushes the sides apart. Made with some VEX wrangling in DOPs.

Another small challenge was to transfer the pieces' animation back to the mesh. Next time will look into more #procedural fracturing for it.

This will change how you time remap footage/compositions in After Effects forever!

No jokes!

Use ordinary layer markers & speed values to retime instead of tedious timecode keyframing. For extra convenience marker management included. Shift them, copy/paste them, and color-code them markers across layers.

Meta's Segment Anything tests

Did a little research of AI image segmentation for Motion graphics usage.

Used the Meta's Segment Anything vit_huge model in auto mode.
