Jerry Ken Shares some Tips and Techniques for Creating a Long Wake Trail Behind a Boat in Houdini.
Houdini Artist Jerry Ken shows how to create an initial setup for a wake trail in Houdini and offers some things to consider when simulating the waves behind a boat or ship. An essential process in the workflow is to create a custom force to affect the simulations.
