Huh, I never plugged SculptXR here. I used Claude to port SculptGL to WebXR, runs on Quest, GalaxyXR, AVP (sort of), desktop, tablets, all in the browser. It also has animation support, and now supports Nomad Link. I think its fun. Lots of demos on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=37Cx...

cgwiki download links were broken, now they are not. judging by the huge amounts of complaints (2 of them), no-one seemed to notice or care. oh well, fixed now. :)

In Sync. A visual music test animation. We made a couple of Houdini tools to help with this, an audio to MIDI tool and a Houdini to After Effects exporter to bring over data and cameras etc. #houdini #musicvisualization #aftereffects #dataviz #synesthesia

New at #SIGGRAPH2025: Can we make Perlin Noise stretch along some underlying vector field? Well it turns out it's possible with two simple additions to the original method! No need for advection or convolutions. Find the paper and implementations here: github.com/jakericedesi...
