25 years in CG, its all been leading to this. @nomadsculpt.com and @morphinapp.bsky.social are to blame.

New at #SIGGRAPH2025:
Can we make Perlin Noise stretch along some underlying vector field? Well it turns out it's possible with two simple additions to the original method! No need for advection or convolutions.
Find the paper and implementations here:

Of course had to port it for Houdini dailyhip.wordpress.com/2025/07/23/e...
Erosion Filter
I ran into a nice terrain noise post from Rune, showcasing an analytical noise that behaves a lot like erosion, but without any simulation! The original seems to be from clayjohn, with improvements…

Now with sound! The head is now springy too. I could do this all day (but probably shouldn't, just rotating the hips in realtime, so much fun! Made in @morphinapp.bsky.social

Fun rigging test in the next build of @morphinapp.bsky.social . The tail and arms bones have spring constraints, just wiggle the hips, all this lovely motion comes for free.

What if connecting different apps was this easy? What if you didn't have to bother the IT department each time you wanted to automate something...
Would your workday look different? Could you get more done? Would you have more time for the things that matter?

AI Agents... The buzzword of the week/month/year... But the word is pretty confusing. Most people just mean customizable chatbots that can do stuff, and knows about your business...
In Magpai, we make that impossibly simple...

I wrote a little primer on rigid body dynamics in Houdini after seeing a lot of similar questions online. Bullet is a pretty deep rabbit hole to fall into and there's a lot of legacy stuff that's very confusing for new artists... hopefully this helps you get started!
