The tool was developed by Sharan Vaswani.
FX Supervisor Sharan Vaswani has released Populate Toolset, a great free tool that enables its users to art direct instanced simulation caches in Houdini while providing them with production-friendly features and parameters.
Designed to help creators manage multiple shots that require variations of simulated caches to be instanced across a sequence of shots, the toolset comes with an efficient method to quickly display proxy geometry for flipbooks and layouts, as well as allows the users to use override settings to address minor issues identified during dailies. Furthermore, it optimizes scenes using packed geometry, among other useful features.
