Hello patrons,
This is one of those mix videos that I do once in a while.
We are going to explore two different topics.
The first one is new baking methods in Houdini 21, for both mesh and textures. Pretty useful for assets and environment work.
The second is all about camera projections in Blender. This is an introduction, because I'm planning to do a nice little project on this Patreon that involves a combination of camera projection techniques, matte painting and ComfyUI workflows. Hopefully I can ge into this pretty soon.
As a reminder, please get in touch with me to propose topics for my next videos.
Head over to my Patreon to access the training
Thanks,
Xuan.

Crowds part 01 /
Hello Patrons,
This is the first of two parts of my Houdini crowds training.
The first video is an introduction to the system. I will cover everything from agent creation, motion capture clips, props attachment, configuring contraints for feet contact, transition clips, and rendering in Solaris with Karma.
I will also explain in the video what are the plans for the second video, which will be a bit more advanced and it will touch on some important topics not covered in the first video.
I hope you like it.
Head to my Patreon to get all of this.
Thanks,
Xuan.
Mari 4.6 new features and production template /
Hello patrons,
I recorded a new video about the new features in Mari 4.6 released just a few weeks ago. I will also talk about some of the new features in the extension pack 5 and finally I will show you my production template that I've been using lately to do all the texturing and pre-lookDev on many assets for film and tv projects.
This is a big picture of the topics covered in this video. The video will be about 2.5 hours long, and it will be published on my Patreon site.
- Mari 4.6 new features
- New material system explained in depth
- Material ingestion tool
- Optimization settings
- How and where to use geo channels
- New camera projection tools
- Extension pack 5 new features (or my most used tools)
- Production template for texturing and pre-lookDev
All the information on my Patreon feed.
Thanks for your support!
Xuan.

Look Development Light-rig 0001 for Arnold /
I will be posting different assets in this website that I think can be useful for other VFX artists, students and amateurs.
I'm starting with one of my favourite light-rigs for look development and model checking.
