Houdini不光只适用于视觉特效的制作,随着HOUDINI适用于各种平台,并且出现了很多的HOUDINI培训教学,HOUDINI开始进入了动态图像设计领域。因为其自身的流程化特性,加上其强大的动力学系统,让HOUDINI在数据可视化方面占有一席重要的地位,让图形设计师能够通过它表达自己的观点。在本教学中我们将来看看当今的设计趋势,数据连线,并且在HOUDINI中制作出一个程序化的系统来实现这个目标。我们将学习在相关数据点之间绘制连线,创建数据的文字显示,综合使用HOUDINI的dynamics network来实现它。在本教学结束的时候,学员能够制作出可重复使用的digital asset来处理这种特效,并且会学习到各种新的制作技巧。
Houdini is not just for visual effects. With the availability of Houdini for all platforms and the variety of training materials now available, Houdini is making headway into the world of motion graphics. The procedural nature of Houdini, combined with its powerful dynamics system, make Houdini an important player in visualizing data and allowing graphic artists to express themselves in new and powerful ways. In this tutorial series we are going to look at a current design trend - data connections - and build a procedural system in Houdini to accomplish this task while harnessing all the additional benefits Houdini has to offer. We'll learn how to draw connections between relational points of data (in this case, by proximity), create text readouts of the data, and combine this system with Houdini's dynamics network. At the end of the tutorial, the viewer will know how to create a reusable digital asset to handle this effect, and hopefully learn a few new tricks along the way!
NOTICE TO VIEWERS: This video is going to be the gateway for cmiVFX to open up to new markets outside of the standard high end visual effects and computer graphics vertical markets by adding motion graphics design videos to its library. Seamless transition will be achieved for those migrating from film and gaming to broadcast media. |
