Houdini Tutorial: Microbes Fighting Complete (part 1 + 2)

Part 1 - modeling and simulation:

-procedural modeling techniques-setup of Vellum solver
-using different types of Vellum constraints

-using forces to give impression of life
-defining custom behavior with VEX
-organizing your scene
-step by step process with problem solving

Part 2 - shading and rendering:

Model preparation for rendering:
 - adding detail to lowpoly mesh
 - transferring simulation from lowpoly to highpoly
 - using new variants functionality of copy to points in Houdini 18
Setting up camera constraints
Lighting
Shading:
 - Renderman shaders explained in detail
 - very fast to render shaders
 - converting scene to Redshift (very short chapter showing main differences)
Cache files
HIP files with simulation setup (with shaders for Renderman 23.3 and Redshift 3.00.21)

For this tutorial you need basic/intermediate Houdini skills.
