8 years ago General info:
- assets are general-purpose, not production specific
- ever evolving library, important stuff evolves / gets optimized, redundant stuff dies out
- backwards compatibility (you can get warnings, though)
- github page, facebook page (who is q :))
- github tickets page
- evolution of an asset: experimental, future, base; proof of concept (slow) -> more evolved (fast)
- "continuous integration" / rolling release method
- feedback / any kind of ideas, requests or contributions are welcome
- next important things: vexpressions everywhere, all assets should be compileable
...:
- doing stuff w/ Attrib Ramp (map along curves, random size distribution, etc)
- driving instance pscale/whatevers using Attrib Shape (motion graphics thing) sim:
- generating initial velocities with Velocity qL SOP + Vector Jitter SOPs -- RBDs (Velocity qL: linear, angular) -- particles
- RBD activation using Attrib Shape
- how to emit debris with an RBD Packed Object + POP Source combo (full debris setup w/ geometry stamping, size distribution curve, RBD lifespans), Trail Jitter qL SOP
- multiple fracturing
- driving constraints using RBD lifespans (lifespans start from activation)
- particles + post processing: Velocity qL SOP, Vector Jitter SOP, Group by Percent qL SOP -- particles delete by percent based on age, then use points as smoke emitter
- curve modeling using weights, Attrib Ramp qL SOP, Noise / Jitter qL SOP, etc
Random stuff:
- Attrib Shape qL SOP (points, prims; )
- Attrib Shape + Weighted Xform qL SOPs
- Noise qL SOP: regular noise; output vexpression presets (displace along normal, change velocity vectors)
- Deformers!! Deformer types, guides, fitting options
- Group by Percent qL SOP (basic settings, group by attrib shape, group by velocity)
- Jitter qL SOP vs regular Jitter SOP (jitter prims, based on name attrib)
- Emission with Fluid Source qL SOP
- Breaking up emission banding with Trail Jitter qL SOP, Trail Scatter qL SOP, Point Jitter qL SOP, stretch along velocity gallery item
- Camera Plane, Camera Frustrum qL SOPs
- Camera Frustrum + Bounds qL SOPs + Clip by Bounds qL SOP to specify action volume (show it w/ Jens's atlas stuff)
- Attrib Ramp qL SOP to check curve direction
- Deforming geometry / volumes with tetrahedrons
- Retiming volumes (wip)
- Voronoi VDB Fracture qL SOP (example network: Voronoi VDB, Proxy Primgroups, bullet sim, Transform Pieces)
- Group Grow qL SOP (demo w/ mask group)
- Maze qL SOP (show buildings pic)
- Jitter qL SOP, Trail Jitter qL SOP, Trail Scatter qL SOP
- Show the Muto qL ROP video
- COP2 gallery items: color correct, color temperature (maybe show SOP version)
- gallery items: -- useful presets: null presets (renaming, bbox info) -- proxy from deforming geo -- VDB/SDF Geo Blending -- VFX: Lichtenberg figure, Magnetic Field, Packed RBD Debris -- ModelFactory: debris factory (rocks, wood), Layout Packed Pieces -- Wrangle: Stretch along velocity -- Colors: Color Correct
production-based:
- how to post-edit RBD sims (post-edit activation, trajectories -- xform-by-pieces for efficiency) -- original fracture points should be generated independently of the source geometry, pieces should inherit original fracture point indices (make it a geometry attribute), so post-edits can be preserved when the underlying geometry changes -- post-edit technique for crumblings: simulate all, then hand-pick the ones that should fall

This ticket is just for collecting ideas for tutorial videos to be made.
@gadfly16 @JacobSanta @nagyg @adamsipos84 @bonsak @bxyldy plasease feel free to toss in any interesting ideas!! :)
