Inside the Mind shows how to create a setup where you can deform VDB meshes to create a reaction animation effect.

This new tutorial from Inside the Mind (Stormz) shows how to deform VDB meshes to look like other objects can affect the surface.

“I saw this really interesting effect done in C4D where the mesh was being deformed and push by another mesh,” Stormz says about the tutorial. A short dive into VDBs in Houdini can quickly achieve the same look.
