Duration 8 Weeks Project Files Included MP4Title: CGMA – Mastering Destruction in HoudiniInfo:Use Houdini and create amazing effects for filmUnleash your inner FX monster, and let’s smash some buildings! In this destruction course, students will learn a comprehensive set of skills to develop beautiful work with a high degree of artistic control. This will include fracturing, RBD simulation, dust, debris, and adding details from real-world reference material. However, students will learn more than just the technical setups alone – they’ll also learn about production pipeline considerations, and innovative unique workflows for art-directing damage (both with & without simulation). By the end of the class, students will have a feature-film-quality destruction shot for their demo reel!Week 1 | Boolean / Voronoi Fracturing & Destruction HDAsWeek 2 | Asset Prep / Fracture Workflow, & More HDAs!Week 3 | Bullet Simulation SetupWeek 4 | ConstraintsWeek 5 | Additional Detail!Week 6 | DebrisWeek 7 | WindowsWeek 8 | DustMATERIALS: Houdini 17SKILLS LEVEL: IntermediatePREREQUISITES: Basic working knowledge in Houdini
