cgSide uses Vellum to create simple but great-looking assets like crumpled paper and earbuds in Houdini.

Dynamic solvers are also helpful for modeling tasks, and here, CGside shows how to use Vellum in Side FX Houdini to create assets like crumpled paper, discarded product packaging, or even earbuds with a cable.
