Houdini: Dynamics and Simulation

In this course, Scott Pagano explores Houdini and shows how to use his massively powerful dynamics system to create a range of simulations. Scott provides an overview of the dynamics of the context, and moves on a range of project-based examples that illustrate how to use a range of simulation types. Starting with a rigid body dynamics, he explores how to properly prepare the geometry for destruction and build a destruction simulation system, as well as how to create a natural organic dynamic simulation with Wire and Finite Element solvers. He then shows how to wrap up your object destruction system as a Houdini digital asset for use in Maya and CINEMA 4D.
