Note, OP says first rls of weeks 1 -3 had missing parts, these are complete in the rls.
In this training, we will create just one scene, but with a large variety of effects, including destruction, explosions, simulation of secondary elements and fluid.
The training is designed for people who have basic concepts of working in Houdini. For 6 weeks, we will analyze in detail all types of simulations – particles, volumes in Pyro, RBD, FLIP simulation (fluid dynamics). And, of course, visualization settings.
In this example, you will learn how to solve a number of problems, create assets for the fastest work, manipulate fields and create your own shaders.
All effects are created using the latest Houdini 18 tools, including sparse simulations in Pyro, as well as the use of new RBD tools.

Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
