HS-225 Procedural Growth with KineFX and the Labs Tree Tools

本录制课程将介绍如何使用 SideFX 提供的免费插件 Labs Tree Tool 来设计和制作程序化树木动画。Labs Tree Tool 输出的数据将用于生成 KineFX 绑定，然后对其进行动画处理，以创建简单的生长和风力效果。之后，我们将深入研究 Labs Tree 工具，并探索如何调整其内部功能以获得更大的灵活性。

学习成果：
课程结束后，学生将掌握使用 KineFX 和 Labs Tree Tools 在 SOP 中构建、绑定、动画和渲染全程序化树所需的知识。我们将构建一个易于使用的 Vex 过渡预设，并深入探索如何使用 Vex 操作变换矩阵。此外，学生还将获得一个可靠的入门示例项目，该项目可以改编成无限可定制的程序化树生长。

Title: Houdini School – HS-225 Procedural Growth with KineFX and the Labs Tree Tools
Info:
Class Description:
This recorded course will cover how to design and animate procedural trees using the Labs Tree Tool, a free add-on offered by SideFX. The data output from the Labs Tree Tool will be used to generate a KineFX rig that will then be animated to create simple growth and wind effects. Later on, we will dive into the labs tree tools and explore how we can alter the internal functionality for even more flexibility.

Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this course, students will come away with the knowledge needed to build, rig, animate, and render fully procedural trees in SOPs using KineFX and the Labs Tree Tools. We will build an easy-to-use Vex transition preset and dive deep into the world of manipulating transformation matrices with Vex. In addition to this, students will have a solid starting example project that can be adapted into endlessly customizable procedural tree growths.
