David Kahl Creates Array Controlled Animation by Sorting with Code, Controlling Data in Arrays, and Using Fancy Vector Math.

Have a look at David Kahl’s approach to using VEX to create a specific animation. In creating array controlled animation Jahl says “This is a simple example of that approach but can be used in many situations.” The tutorial covers a wide range of topics so Houdini artists will get a lot of information from this one.

How to sort points in Houdini with VEX code, how to handle array data, along with vector math are all on deck for creating a system of array controlled animation. “I started this with the idea of visualizing standard programming algorithm like the bubble sort I use in this video – and ended up with this. ” Kahl explains.
