    Awesome effect and very nicely constructed video but just a technical point of view, it would be little more precise to use slerpv() to interpolate vectors, since lerp won't probably give you a normalized vector and will have varied magnitude up to the bias value.

      @@tondann cool video! i'm curious how you set up the secondaries~
      1. did you spawn the secondaries on the (below-ground) surface of the chunks? or are those actual fractured/booleaned smaller chunks?
      2. then from the main sims, and secondary sims, did you spawn more for the gravel/dust? did you use grains for those?
      3. also, looks like more secondaries are spawning upon hitting the chunks, cool! did you use sdf to detect collision surface to spawn from?
      4. then with all of the above, you simulated smoke? or just using the primary sim for smoke already enough? as using secondaries could potentially be slower?🤔

      @tondann  Місяць тому +2

      @@galagast-fx hey thanks for the feedback!
      1. It’s a mix of the fractured chunks (inbetween the big chunks I fractured smaller ones where it should break) and secondaries that I spawned from the chunks‘ sides (debris source node)
      2. I also did a pop sim from the chunks‘ sides. The gravel is another rbd sim with the same source from 1.
      3. I am using the impact / impulse attribute from the rbd sim to generate more secondaries upon hits
      4. the smoke is sourced from the pop sim and gravel. Then I just played with velocity and solver settings as well as collision velocity to get the look right
      Hope I could help 👍

      I've used Houdini for about a year now and I would consider myself at an intermediate level. Once you get over the admittedly insane starting difficulty, Houdini becomes so much fun to learn. Houdini doesn't hide anything from the user so it's easy to crack open existing tools and figure out how they're made. Getting a foundation of knowledge to stand on can probably take up to 6 months, but once you have it, Houdini comes fairly naturally.
