Embark on an in-depth journey through the immersive world of large-scale water explosions with this comprehensive tutorial series, crafted specifically for those with the passion to explore Houdini. In this step-by-step guide, you’ll delve into various aspects of creating both small and large-scale explosions, each varying in type and complexity.
Key Takeaways:
Particle and Volumetric Simulations Mastery: Learn to combine particle simulation and volume simulation seamlessly, heightening your skills in crafting realistic water explosions.
In-Depth Understanding of FLIP Simulations: Deepen your expertise in FLIP simulation techniques, crucial for crafting high-quality explosion effects seen in game cinematics and movies.
Caching Practices: Discover how to save and utilize caches effectively, providing an optimized workflow that’s crucial in handling complex explosions.
Basic workflow with Nuke: Split and assemble the explosion elements using Nuke, mastering the art of compositing. While Nuke is utilized here, you’ll find the techniques applicable to any software you are familiar with.
Mantra Rendering Skills: Explore rendering layers (AOVs) using Mantra, catering to different needs and nuances of the simulation.
3-Part Detailed Learning Modules:
Part 1: Delve into the basic explosion setup, with a focus on source creation, one of the most vital components in explosion simulation. Learn the intricacies of setting up FLIP and PYRO simulations and final render.
Part 2: Reproduce a large-scale nuclear explosion using an optimized setup from the first blast to save resources (using TOP).
Part 3: Explore different types of explosions with minor modifications to your existing setup.
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.
who needs that shit. i create a better looking underwater explosion with AI… :D
which also looks like shit?
