Thank you for a great tutorial! I have one tip to make it easier: Instead of building an extra solution to deal with the trail SOP artifacts for dying particles around 21:45 in the video: You could use the trail SOP just as you did for the "nerves" in the first part, and make sure that when a particle is killed, the respective trail points are deleted as well. This can simply be achieved by putting a Point Wrangle after the Trail node, and killing all points which are very close to their life expectancy, it's single line of VEX: if ( @age >= @life - 0.05 ) removepoint(0,@ptnum);
ALSO if you watching with this tut in 2024 using a new version of houdini the file cache part you will need to change it too FILE PATH EXPLICIT to get the way he is doing it without it the simulation will keep going but with changing that one area it will make it work
i couldn't get my short trails to flow properly, like they don't interpolate correctly with the timewarp, like it wont animate smoothly down the lines, but the spheres will fine... otherwise, thank you for the tutorial!

Fuck. I just paid $60 for a online course package where this was the main thing I was trying to learn.
Thank you for making this information free!!
Which tutorial specifically?
It seems like too 'advanced' for beginner to learn... awesssom tutorial! thank you so much for this!

amazing cant wait to go through this, result looks great! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you! This has been a great learning experience!
Thank you so much! Means a lot!
that's crazy! Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you man !!
Awesome!
Was that Rant by Bo
damnnnnnnn
can u do more tutorials noises please?

the same problem, timewarp does not interpolate length of "small trails" properly and also the length depends on life time of particles
@@zappbngot it fixed?
Got it fixed?
