本教程是由CGWorkshops机构出品的Houdini粉碎破坏特效制作视频教程，CGWorkshops Destruction in Houdini，时长：8周课时，大小：22 GB，MP4高清视频格式，附工程源文件，教程使用软件：Houdini，作者：Pav Grochola，语言：英语。

Houdini 是一个特效方面非常强大的软件。许多电影特效都是由它完成：《指环王》中“甘道夫”放的那些“魔法礼花”，还有“水马”冲垮“戒灵”的场面，后天中的龙卷风等等，a52的汽车广告，反正只要是涉及DD公司制作的好莱坞一线大片，几乎都会有Houdini参与和应用。

Houdini不光只适用于视觉特效的制作，随着HOUDINI适用于各种平台，并且出现了很多的HOUDINI培训教学，HOUDINI开始进入了动态图像设计领域。因为其自身的流程化特性，加上其强大的动力学系统，让HOUDINI在数据可视化方面占有一席重要的地位，让图形设计师能够通过它表达自己的观点。

CGWorkshops Destruction in Houdini

Let’s smash and destroy!

With its procedural workflow, Houdini 13 is the tool of choice for high-end studios doing complex destruction work. By the end of the course you’ll understand why and be able to build your own complex RBD sims. After a brief look at all the different solvers available in Houdini 13 (including FEM) we’ll focus on the bullet solver. Over the last few years the bullet solver has dominated RBD simulations for speed, stability and its ability to deal with a staggering number of objects and constraints.

Starting with simple examples, each week you will build your knowledge and build up the complexity of your simulations. Node based software is ideal for dealing with the level of complexity demanded by this type of work.

By its nature Houdini is extremely flexible and open, allowing any FX TD to take on a research and development role making tools to run complex simulations. However, without guidance it can be easy to get overwhelmed and lost.

With over 13 years of experience Pav Grochola (Edge of Tomorrow, Amazing Spiderman 2, Harry Potter, Ghostrider) will take you from the basics of RBD destruction to build your own large scale destruction shot for your reel and have the knowledge to confidently tackle almost any destruction shot.
