How to Tie and Untie Things Using Vellum

By November 30, 2021No Comments

The Entagma team show us how to tie and untie a bow using Vellum in Houdini.

Have you ever wanted to animate the tieing and untieing of something in 3D? Why not simply simulate all that? This new tutorial from Entagma shows how you can use Houdini’s Vellum solver to facilitate that animation.

Knots are a mathematical challenge, but the tutorial covers setting up vellum cloth and placing clever animation tweaks to tie and untie a knot in Houdini.
