Use VEX and a grid in Houdini to bake u, v, and time data into first frame color textures. With Blueprints of our character we will create a Render Target Camera that takes a depth image that we can use to sample each piece’s starting and landing depths. Interpolating the depths during the “lifespan” of a piece allows us to correctly offset the piece’s height at any given time.
