Patreon Tutorial #53 - Volumetric Rest Grids & Distance Shader - Part 2
🕑 Added 2024-08-04 17:30:02 +0000 UTCIn this next tutorial, I cover a few of the new Copernicus features and how we can use them with Redshift. This new technology is very powerful and be used in many different areas and ways inside of Houdini. One of the easiest ways it can be used is for post-processing renders. A powerful way to do this is by leveraging the variety of OpenFX plugins that exist in typical compositing applications. These open up amazing possibilities for getting a variety of looks directly inside Houdini. You can also use these COPs nodes directly inside of Redshift by calling them up into your shader networks.
Another fun feature for post-processing your renders live directly in viewport IPR is the new Slap Comp Solaris feature. This lets you process your IPR live with any of the COPs nodes including the OFX library. This means you can easily add bloom, chromatic aberration, and 2D toon shading effects with little effort directly in rendering as you work. This opens up a lot of new possibilities that were not possible before without going into a 3rd party application like After Effects or Fusion/Nuke.
This is a basic introduction to leveraging these new features with Redshift in Houdini, but as you can imagine this has a great future ahead of it for our projects. Thank you and have a great day!

Hey Sam, the Redshift Houdini dev actually releases new Houdini production builds on the day they release or Beta builds for Beta Houdini releases. There has been Houdini 20.5 builds since the beta several months ago. You can download the custom Houdini builds from the Redshift forums linked below. Make sure to bookmark it so you can grab new production builds without needing to wait for a full Redshift installer release. https://redshift.maxon.net/topic/31230/houdini-solaris-plugins-custom-builds

err basic question, but how are you using redshift with 20.5? the documentaiton says only 20 is supported so far
