Houdini Phone Reveal Tutorial

Learn how to recreate the phone reveal effect seen in recent iPhone 15 videos using the power of Houdini.
In this quick step-by-step video, we'll show you how to harness the incredible capabilities of Houdini to craft a visual spectacle. We start by building a dynamic volume simulation that will serve as the foundation for our particle simulation.
Volume Simulation: Watch as we guide you through the process of crafting a realistic volume simulation that captures the essence. Learn the techniques to shape and control the volume for maximum impact. We will mainly use presets like the "billowy smoke" and fine tune the nodes.
Particle Magic: Take your simulation to the next level as we delve into particle simulation. Learn how to seamlessly transition from the volume simulation to a dazzling display of particles. With a few nodes and force we can control how particles fly around.
Rendering: Learn also a little bit about how to use the Stage, Lops and Karma. This is used to render our particles and set sizes.
The video will cover basic techniques to make particles in Houdini. It is recommend that you have a basic understanding of Houdini and know how to navigate in the software.

Amazing!

awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@carlosrivadulla8903]

did ur voice change?

[@simonhoudini5074]

I matured 😄
No but I tried out some different tools for audio clean up. Next videos can be back to "normal"

[@ErikBorchersVR]

Is this ai Simon?

[@simonhoudini5074]

Haha 😆 No, I tried some different audio tools

[@simple3d326]

What the? Who are you and what did you do to the real Simon?

[@simonhoudini5074]

Cloned myself😆
I'll make sure next video has normal audio, was trying out some different processing.
