If you’ve ever tried creating flowers in Houdini, you know it can be a bit of a challenge. To simplify the process, CGI Artist Danny Laursen has released FLOPs, an open-source toolkit of HDAs built around KineFX.
FLOPs streamlines the setup of complex, render-ready flower animations while remaining fully customizable. It integrates seamlessly with standard Houdini nodes and supports custom attribute injection, giving you full control when needed.
Also, it’s free, and Danny has provided an introductory video to walk you through the examples and get you started. Get FLOPs here and check out the Blooming Flowers tutorial series it’s based on:
