Art directing particle flows with custom vector fields

FELT is Rhythm and Hues’ award winning Field Expression Language Toolkit, a flexible standalone application that allows the artist to manipulate both scalar and vector fields as well as handling interaction with traditional models. An interface has been added to Side Effects Houdini by means of a SOP that allows the artist to import, create, manipulate and export fields within the program’s procedural workflow.
