Ronald Fong shows how to make a rolling furball in Houdini using a short hair sim and Vellum.

Ronald Fong’s Houdini/Houdono series is a dive for new users to Side FX Houdini. This latest installment looks into hair simulations and shows how to create a rolling furball using Houdini’s Vellum solver.

“While the hair system in Houdini not optimally designed for beginners, it’s l it’s 100% logical, comparatively fast, bug-free, and at its core, only requires a few nodes to get short simulation fur.”
