Welcome to Node Connector – a channel dedicated to Houdini tutorials and creative insights for Motion Design and FX.
This channel originally started as graphicINmotion, where I shared After Effects tutorials for motion designers around the world. Over the past years, my creative focus has shifted towards Houdini – exploring simulations, procedural systems, and FX workflows that open up entirely new possibilities for design.
Here you’ll find practical tutorials, breakdowns, and insights that combine a motion design mindset with the technical depth of Houdini. Whether you’re moving from After Effects into 3D, or looking to refine your FX skills, this channel is here to guide you.
Subscribe for tutorials, creative workflows, and inspiration at the intersection of design and technology.

Every light, one at a time. Then all at once. 💡
Key → rim → reflection → glass →fx → final composite.
This is what "controlled lighting" actually means in practice.

Hey everyone,
I have some exciting news to share – this channel is getting a new name and branding. Many of you have known me as graphicINmotion, where I focused on After Effects tutorials and motion graphics. Over the past few years, my creative path has shifted fully into SideFX Houdini – simulations, FX, and procedural workflows – and it’s time the channel reflects that.
From now on, this channel will be called Node Connector.
The new name stands for what I love most about Houdini: building systems, connecting nodes, and turning complexity into creativity.
👉 What does this mean for you?
Tutorials, insights, and workflows will continue — now with a clear focus on Houdini, FX, and Motion Design.
Past After Effects content will remain on the channel, so nothing gets lost.
Thank you all for being part of this journey. Whether you’ve been here since the early After Effects days, or you just joined for Houdini content — your support keeps this channel alive.
Best regards,
Roland
