I feel weird about this video I just published… The goal was to make a video that would help people understand the performance/memory tradeoffs of different geo representations so that they could make a better choice when using Houdini. Am I wasting time explaining the basics, and should I focus only on the “advanced” stuff, or is it fine like this? https://youtu.be/CgOUMjGtZ_I

messing around with a simplified way of giving plants some motion.
instead of doing it with a full skeleton rig i sample two positions a bit further in on the branch from each points position and do a little rotation around it. it feels ok ish.
have you guys got any better tricks for this kind of thing?
