Simon Verstraete shows how to set up your first simulation in Houdini animating dominos.

Check out this new tutorial from Simon Houdini (Simon Verstraete) that quickly sets up an RBD sim in Side FX Houdini. The example used is a Domino simulation. The tutorial covers all the essentials for creating a basic simulation.

This setup can simulate things other than Dominos, like any objects falling.

The setup is beginner friendly and doesn’t use any unique or advanced techniques. It is excellent to explore and try out if you are new to Houdini simulations.
