Another great installment in the first steps for learning SideFX Houdini by Go Procedural, SideFX’s Vimeo account, with this look at Using Dynamics in Houdini. The First Steps in Dynamics will show you how to quickly set up a dynamic simulation and a step further by understanding what actually happening in a simulation at the geometry level. Of course you can’t really look at rigid Body Dynamics in anything without destroying something, and this video will also look at a couple of approaches for doing just that.
Go Procedural writes: This module focuses on Rigid Body Dynamics. We will first explore the shelf tools which are a great way to quickly set up a dynamic simulation. We will then get a good understanding what is happening in the simulation at the dynamics and geometry level. We will then look at a couple of simple approaches to geometry destruction.
