    Thanks for the great project. It's an excellent setup with a good explanation. However Houdini has disabled half the Labs nodes in use. You'll need to use the textport and 'opunhide Sop' in order to reactivate them as the new nodes with those names have entirely different functions.

But it's also not completely same function anymore. Moreover, this tutorial is bit too much complex for the houdini beginners like me. Honestly say, using Zbrush for the rock structure is 100 times more practical than this. Is there any of more simple but more practical tech by houdini than Zbrush? If you can show us those nice simple "Tips", then I'm very appreciated.

    Cool stuff, although personally I would use MOPs for a lot of the randomization and animation of the dust (the paid MOPs+ would also allow for collision physics to be applied). But it's good to know the "proper" way to do this. Same technique could be applied to an asteroid field too! Thank you.
