Ben Steiger Levine for Sprite got effects done at MassMarket, which used used my SPH tool to simulate fluids coming out of Drake and splashing all over the place.

Sometime ago Ben Houston’s Exocortex approached me to help on the development of a realtime smoke simulator for Softimage ICE. This is the outcome which I just got permission to show.
SlipstreamRT for Softimage is a proprietary real-time smoke simulator developed for Softimage’s ICE system in collaboration with [exocortex.com/ Exocortex Technologies, Inc.] This video is […]

There are at least 3 different meshers for ICE particles that can be used with the SPH:
Pwrapper from 3daliens
emPolygonizer
And Guillaume Laforge is doing this pretty cool project that constructs a fast scalar field in ICE and passes to the polygonizer in a grid structure.
The coolest stuff for me is that the distance function on Guillaume’s […]

I produced about 4 hours of training about the new Softimage|ICE platform explaining a lot of the workflow/techniques to create tools that can be used in production.
This series is packed with packed with deep examples and it’s more of a intermediate/advanced thing.
Although if you are a beginner you might find this really exciting and really […]

Hello, we are looking for testers to join the SPH fluids simulator for ICE.
This is a free set of nodes for ICE, all you need is register to get access to the testing group, Addon, sample scenes and documentation.

I’ve been working on this SPH (Smoothed Particles Hydrodynamics) fluids simulator for XSI’s ICE.
I did my own collisions logic, integration, substeps, all the physics part, etc… using low level ICE nodes, and now some compiled C++ nodes.
The simulator supports pressure, density, viscosity, tension, collisions and some other stuff.

Visualize the graph of a function is not easy (at least for me), without plotting the function.
It can be really hard to understand what y = x^2 * z^2 looks like.
So I obviously did an ICE compound with these most common graphs.
I couldn’t stop doing functions and playing with it, so I ended […]

Based on the number of neighboring particles, this compound can adjust the color around the boundaries of a particle cloud.
The range is calculated based on the number of points in the island, so a gradient is smoothly blended to the particle color.
This can be used in any region of the stack. Plug the Execute Color […]

Like the grease pencil tool for Maya, this tool allows you to draw with the sketch tool for 2d animation/per frame annotation, directly in the XSI viewport.
Changes V1.1

Assembled the XSI Bezier curve tool, CV Curve tool and Curve Text tool to be used from the TC_sketch PPG
Added the “edit frames” command, now […]
