Sapphire FX – Houdini Ship Destruction Week 1-3
In this training, we will create just one scene, but with a large variety of effects, including destruction, explosions, simulation of secondary elements and fluid.
The training is designed for people who have basic concepts of working in Houdini. For 6 weeks, we will analyze in detail all types of simulations – particles, volumes in Pyro, RBD, FLIP simulation (fluid dynamics). And, of course, visualization settings. In this example, you will learn how to solve a number of problems, create assets for the fastest work, manipulate fields and create your own shaders. All effects are created using the latest Houdini 18 tools, including sparse simulations in Pyro, as well as the use of new RBD tools. Week 1. Preparation of the project importing a model Week 2.
