The last Solver that VFX Homeland posted was a tool that let you easily create and animated droplets of water on a surface. Now the team offers up a new one, the Houdini Knit Solver.
The Knit Solver can wrap any 3D object in Houdini with a knitted fabric. The solver offers three types of knits with three different unit cells that you can work with. The Knit Solver uses the unit cels to cover the geometry of an object. The final result really depends on the topology of the input geometry, with best results showing on quadrilateral polygons.
If you want to see it in action, have a look at this short tutorial VFXHomeland put together on how to get started using Solver, then download it here.
