Some unstructured comments on how to save data from Houdini into a MySQL database using an custom outputDriverHDA.

These spherical harmonics turned out to be quite Haekel-esque. [wip]

A Shader a Day: deepcolor.
A OGL2/Mantra implementation of a deep color shader as described by desaxismundi . I added an outline feature. The Shader combo allows WYSIWG tweeking of the mantra shader in the viewport. [download]

A Shader a Day: Light/Shadow Shader for strange weapons.The point light behaces like an occluded ambient light within a specified radius. Shadows are only cast outside that radius.

"Nothing to say and no way to say it — But you can say it in three languages"
KMFDM, Dogma

A Shader a Day: This is an early version of the SSS Skype Sprite Shader. animated emoticons are mapped onto sprites. The main goal was to use VEX arrays.

A selection of my work is showcased at Procedural Design: From Simplicity to Complexity — Natural metaphors and evolutionary strategies in contemporary art practice. A lecture by David Robert he held at Stanford University, UC Berkeley and will happen next week at MIT and RISD.

This movie shows every 25th frame of another 15000 frame simulation. Particles aggregate around star shaped core.

I spend Sunday playing with Diffusion-Limited Aggregation as described e.g. at the site of Franz-Josef Wirtz . I built a Houdini POPnetwork to simmulate the process of particles accumulating around a core. The image shows the state after 15000 steps of simulation.

A HDK interpretation of the Clifford Attractor as described at Paul Bourke's Site
Slightly ineffificient as I actually use geometry instead of writing to an image plane.

Lorenz Atractor HDK: I finally made my first canny steps into the HDK . This LorenzAttractorSOP generates the geometry on the fly instead of modifying input geometry like the pythonSOP implementation.
