Houdini Hangout<p>Tonight (4/23/2025 at 6pm EDT) we'll look at creating a FLIP sim with whitewater. First we'll talk about sourcing whitewater from a sim, and then we'll look at how to use a guided wave setup. Thanks to our Discord community for the request. Hope to see you then!</p><p><a href="https://mograph.social/tags/sidefx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sidefx</span></a> <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/houdini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>houdini</span></a></p>
