$KarmaXPU Quickstart Pt.3: Excursion - Visualizing Proteins Download Project File: https://www.entagma.com/downloads/protein_viz_01.zip Notes: - It *could* be that 1 Houdini unit = 1 angstrom (which is 0.1 nm) - Im recommending to stay away from refractive materials in rendering. This is due to the fact of this particular group of students having limited rendering resources. If however you have those resources, go wild! Mo had the pleasure of joining Dr. Jeroen Claus of http://www.phospho.co.uk, teaching a visualization workshop to students at university of Maastricht. The topics covered were protein and lipid membrane rendering in Houdini using KarmaXPU. Also check out our lipid membrane tutorial here: https://youtu.be/kD2aRuK8IY8 For more visualization goodness, have a look at our other protein viz tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3ldQBVb-ZA 00:00 - Intro 01:47 - Loading .pdb File 03:15 - Isolating Ribbon Points 04:59 - Connecting Points To Lines 05:58 - Coloring Individual Ribbons 08:50 - Setting Ribbons Thickness 09:37 - Centering & Animating Geometry 12:47 - Setting Up Scene For Rendering 14:57 - HDRI Lighting 15:39 - Creating & Assigning Materials 20:52 - Animating Transformations in Solaris 21:26 - Setting Up KarmaXPU (Render Engine Settings) 25:11 - Infamous Last Words$
