  3. Hey @everyone! Tonight (7/8/2026 at 6pm EDT) we're going to try to make an MPM rain sim. We'll aim for something like the simulation that was shown during the H21 Keynote. I think we'll be use a combo of a particle / MPM sim for the effect.

  9. Well, if he's talking to dead presidents, maybe he's on the threshold himself? 🤷🏼 Or did he do a seance (sue-ance?) with #Houdini?

    "President Donald Trump stunned the internet on Wednesday when he talked about how he chatted with long-dead former President Teddy Roosevelt."

  11. Tonight (7/1/2026 at 6pm EDT), we're going to try to make a slow-motion effect like is seen in the title sequence for "Your Friends & Neighbors" (youtube.com/watch?v=9Y2668rdUTI). We were going to do it last week, but we talked about H22 the whole time. Hope to see you there!

  13. Shortly (6/24/2026 at 6pm EDT), we're going to have another two part stream. First, we'll take some time to talk about the H22 Keynote. Then we'll try to create a slow motion explosion like we see in the "Your Friends & Neighbors" intro sequence. youtube.com/watch?v=9Y2668rdUTI

  15. I was talking to a friend last week about a personal/work project I had about 10 years ago where every month or so, I had to change my mind (properly!) about something I believed in – Which in this case, meant I had to go and seek things out because it’s really hard to do every month unless it’s active.

    It’s half of the reason I spent so long embedded in Flat-Earth and Scientology; the other half was that I was researching pathways to radicalisation and trying to trace a lot of them to the source and exit.

    I was listening to a Sherlock Holmes podcast yesterday and realised that being able to change your mind completely about something is a core investigative skill (and this is how I increased my B2B sales… No! No… Away with you LinkedIn!).

    Good investigative technique means having a theory of the case from the start, but then, importantly, it means deliberately challenging it and then changing it, when new evidence emerges. It can be a lot of paperwork and mental gymnastics. Sticking to the original theory of a case and looking for evidence to support it is what created the Birmingham Six and the Central Park Five. Completely irresponsible and incompetent police work and static minds are a liability to any good casework (see also: Donald Trump who is still trying to execute the CP5).

    This isn’t really going anywhere except to note that although Sherlock was excellent at changing case-theories (and does so a lot in the books), his creator, Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle, of Cottingley Fairies and Harry Houdini feud fame, was so bad at it that he’d certainly have had a leadership role waiting in the West Midlands Police any time.

    Ironically, the person in his most famous stories that he can be most said to resemble, is Lestrade of the Yard.

  21. A touch underwhelmed by the Houdini 22 sneak peak. Looks like its some cool stuff but meh. Maybe this means they are focusing on speed? The new UI looks like a skin so hopefully there is more to it than that.

    That said, I mostly work 2 versions back so what do I know... still exciting!

  23. Tonight (6/3/2026 at 6pm EDT) we're going to try to make some growing textures in Copernicus. My first idea is to use the flow solver and go from there. As always, questions and ideas are welcome! Hope to see you there.

  25. Harry #Houdini (1874-1926) ist für seine spektakulären Entfesselungstricks weltweit bekannt. Zu seinen Leistungen gehört aber auch der 1. kontrollierte Motorflug in #Australien 1910.

  27. Tonight (5/13/2026 at 6pm EDT) we're going to play around in #Copernicus. We'll try to make some Slap Comp setups, and maybe mess around with some of the simulation stuff as well. Hope to see you there!

  29. Mocap fusion seems to be pretty easy to work with, exports a bvh file, and retargets to my vr avatar easily. I wonder if it would be less floaty if I had a belly tracker.

    It also records audio alongside the mocap so I used it to drive the mouth's KK shape.

    #Houdini does have the Voice Sync chop to detect phonemes, gotta try that another time.

  31. I've turned to #houdini to see if I can make sense of things. The upper set of numbers is the bytes represented in decimal, while hex values are in the group below.

    At least the first and last bytes are correct (F0 start, F7 end).

    The second number appears to be the Waldorf Midi ID number, so likely on the right track.

    EDIT: I'm trying to edit a waldorf blofeld sysex file in order to rename the author field. Its blank right now.
