Nick Medukha shows how to create a magnetic sand effect with Vellum grains in Houdini.

Check out this new tutorial from Nick Medukha that walks us by creating a sand simulation in Side FX Houdini that looks like a magnets’ effect from underneath.

The tutorial shows how to create a setup that influences the vellum grains‘ position by introducing forces generated from other meshes, much like a magnet field. Medukha makes the project file available too.
