Hey guys! Patreon tutorial #64 will be starting a new project-based series exploring Houdini's MPM simulation tools, Substance Painter Texture Painting, and Solaris. Thank you for the support! 🎉
Black and white photo of a scruffy little longhaired tuxedo tabby kitten, it looks ginger to me. It is sitting close in front of an enormous old television set with its head turned back toward the camera as if waiting for someone to turn the tv on. This is taking place in a living room type setting, the kitten sitting on a throw rug on a wooden floor.
Somebody turn this dang thing on. Photo from my collection, 1956.
Patreon Tutorial #63 will cover some of the new quality-of-life features + improvements, in particular for Solaris's Hydra v2, Texture Displacement & UV Context Shader. 🔧
