Houdini Production Studio – Destruction FX (+Chinese hardsub)

This course is designed for Houdini users with an advanced understanding of data flow. Students will learn how to efficiently evaluate a scene’s structure and develop a workflow for creating stunning visual effects for film.

Throughout the course, students will explore various techniques for fracturing assets, both procedurally and through art direction, and use them in rigid body simulations. They will also work with different methods of activation and scale of effects, from small gravel on the ground to large buildings. Additionally, the course will cover the creation of secondary debris, dust, and smoke to achieve a realistic-looking effect. The course includes a comprehensive range of scenarios commonly encountered in production.

By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the skills necessary to destruct any type of asset and material in any requested way, as well as a solid understanding of workflow, fracturing, art direction, simulation, and attention to detail.
