This is an absolutely phenomenal format on a tutorial. Gives a good overview of the techniques used without the 20mins of spoonfeeding evey single detail.
That's truly inspiring. So cool what YOU can make in Houdini! Extremely interesting, even if you haven't done anything in Houdini before like me. Great one!
As someone just starting to learn Houdini, this was very well explained. Though i dont know the tools you used, i can understand the methodology. I hope to see some step by step guides in the future.
Thank you for the Feedback! It’s great to hear that someone just starting out can also benefit from this video. Yes, it’s not meant to be used as a follow along video, but a demonstration of methods, you’re absolutely right. Stay tuned for the coming videos, I have a lot planned!
@@MrZapperX I didn’t start from 0 in 3D/CG so learning Houdini was a little easier, but i am doing this for 2 years, learning (taking courses) and working in the industry simultaneously
very nice ang cool mini tutorial! Question about the "ray" node to move points to the sphere. How are you doing it? since I dont see you creating normals to define a direction in your graph.
Nevermind. I was trying to have a omnidirectional ray. But I can see, using a custom vector inside ray node + the relax position later on, do the trick. Thanks!
@@andvfx yes, directional vector, just pointing upwards a bit to shoot most of them on the sphere. Otherwise they might get stuck on the edge of the sphere with just a point relax
Great tutorial! But I have some difficulty understanding some parts. Is it possible to have the houdini file - at least basic setup without rendering part?
@@thewayne9747 I used MoveAI on my phone. You can record yourself and it does AI motion capture 😊 then I exported it and used a mixamo character for the animation
You will just be limited to 720p rendering + watermark, but everything else works fine. Houdini Indie is also very affordable compared to other software :)
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.
@@김남규-f4r thanks for the advice! Actually I learned about slerp way after I created the effect and was busy with the secondaries, so I didn’t want to go back and change a running system 😄 I should take a look again though!
@@jayashrip6909 I used a megascans asset and extruded it down, fractured it into chunks and used the system I showed in the video to make it move 😊 then a few secondary simulations and it’s done
@@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?🤔
@@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 👍
This is the first time I'm watching a houdini tut, I never knew there was coding and stuff in this too! How long would it take to learn houdini from start till intermediate level?
@@abhinavbtw well this is not really a beginner friendly video and definitely not a full tutorial, basically more of a breakdown. I can’t speak for you but it took me about 2 years to reach this kind of level. I took a few paid courses, like the one I mentioned in the description, but I wouldn’t start there as a beginner.
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.
I split the chunks into top / side and then applied the asset's texture to the top and a mud texture with triplanar mapping to the sides. You don't have to manually texture each chunk and piece by hand :)

@@integlol151 it means a lot to hear that the format I chose is well received! That was exactly my intention with this video 😊
@@tondann bro without vex code this can create?
@@Vishnu.s_Official it can be done with VOPs too I guess 😄 but I prefer VEX. You can try to recreate it in VOPS
