Houdini Collisions to MIDI – Overview
Learn how to create MIDI files from custom collision data in Houdini with CHOPs. This is a long form, project based, course that covers modeling, vellum simulation and troubleshooting, post simulation processing, building a system for collision detection, MIDI creation in CHOPs, lighting, texturing and rendering (Redshift). We’ll also look at bringing our exported MIDI files into Reaper, a minimal …
