This is an absolutely phenomenal format on a tutorial. Gives a good overview of the techniques used without the 20mins of spoonfeeding evey single detail.
That's truly inspiring. So cool what YOU can make in Houdini! Extremely interesting, even if you haven't done anything in Houdini before like me. Great one!
Very promising result. I would add some extra stuff to make the look punch a little bit more. 1. The rocks seems to have low mass, and stop easily. Also the dirt not crumble on impact. I would add a trigger what creates extra debree and make the constrains on the larger dirt chunchks separete only when the rocks hits them. 2. The smoke dissapate too fast. Also you can source more on impacts. 3. The dirt paches became too debreeless to the end. Since dirt are very crumbly a slow ammount of debree can be emmited all time.
@kovacsattila8993 thanks for the feedback! I agree that there can be improved a lot regarding the dirt. I built the setup for a rock environment when testing this, but then ended up using a grassy dirt environment which makes no sense of course. If I’d redo it I would probably go with a slightly different method to make it more crumbly and dirt like.
As someone just starting to learn Houdini, this was very well explained. Though i dont know the tools you used, i can understand the methodology. I hope to see some step by step guides in the future.
Thank you for the Feedback! It’s great to hear that someone just starting out can also benefit from this video. Yes, it’s not meant to be used as a follow along video, but a demonstration of methods, you’re absolutely right. Stay tuned for the coming videos, I have a lot planned!
Brilliant great workflow, would be great if you can share how did you create the rest of the shot in details like debris,dust,materials etc. Yes there are tutorials for that everywhere but I'm curious to see your approach on achieving that in your shot, I'm sure it's gonna come with some brilliants techniques like the one you just shared. Thank you :)
Awesome effect and very nicely constructed video but just a technical point of view, it would be little more precise to use slerpv() to interpolate vectors, since lerp won't probably give you a normalized vector and will have varied magnitude up to the bias value.
@@김남규-f4r thanks for the advice! Actually I learned about slerp way after I created the effect and was busy with the secondaries, so I didn’t want to go back and change a running system 😄 I should take a look again though!
very nice ang cool mini tutorial! Question about the "ray" node to move points to the sphere. How are you doing it? since I dont see you creating normals to define a direction in your graph.
Nevermind. I was trying to have a omnidirectional ray. But I can see, using a custom vector inside ray node + the relax position later on, do the trick. Thanks!
@@andvfx yes, directional vector, just pointing upwards a bit to shoot most of them on the sphere. Otherwise they might get stuck on the edge of the sphere with just a point relax
@@MrZapperX I didn’t start from 0 in 3D/CG so learning Houdini was a little easier, but i am doing this for 2 years, learning (taking courses) and working in the industry simultaneously
You will just be limited to 720p rendering + watermark, but everything else works fine. Houdini Indie is also very affordable compared to other software :)
Great tutorial! But I have some difficulty understanding some parts. Is it possible to have the houdini file - at least basic setup without rendering part?
@@jayashrip6909 I used a megascans asset and extruded it down, fractured it into chunks and used the system I showed in the video to make it move 😊 then a few secondary simulations and it’s done
@@tondann cool video! i'm curious how you set up the secondaries~ 1. did you spawn the secondaries on the (below-ground) surface of the chunks? or are those actual fractured/booleaned smaller chunks? 2. then from the main sims, and secondary sims, did you spawn more for the gravel/dust? did you use grains for those? 3. also, looks like more secondaries are spawning upon hitting the chunks, cool! did you use sdf to detect collision surface to spawn from? 4. then with all of the above, you simulated smoke? or just using the primary sim for smoke already enough? as using secondaries could potentially be slower?🤔
@@galagast-fx hey thanks for the feedback! 1. It’s a mix of the fractured chunks (inbetween the big chunks I fractured smaller ones where it should break) and secondaries that I spawned from the chunks‘ sides (debris source node) 2. I also did a pop sim from the chunks‘ sides. The gravel is another rbd sim with the same source from 1. 3. I am using the impact / impulse attribute from the rbd sim to generate more secondaries upon hits 4. the smoke is sourced from the pop sim and gravel. Then I just played with velocity and solver settings as well as collision velocity to get the look right Hope I could help 👍
@@thewayne9747 I used MoveAI on my phone. You can record yourself and it does AI motion capture 😊 then I exported it and used a mixamo character for the animation
@@tyryooyoyo hey, I simulated them separately. I sourced them from debrissource and then made another RBD sim with the main sim as animated static collider
This is the first time I'm watching a houdini tut, I never knew there was coding and stuff in this too! How long would it take to learn houdini from start till intermediate level?
@@abhinavbtw well this is not really a beginner friendly video and definitely not a full tutorial, basically more of a breakdown. I can’t speak for you but it took me about 2 years to reach this kind of level. I took a few paid courses, like the one I mentioned in the description, but I wouldn’t start there as a beginner.
I've used Houdini for about a year now and I would consider myself at an intermediate level. Once you get over the admittedly insane starting difficulty, Houdini becomes so much fun to learn. Houdini doesn't hide anything from the user so it's easy to crack open existing tools and figure out how they're made. Getting a foundation of knowledge to stand on can probably take up to 6 months, but once you have it, Houdini comes fairly naturally.
I split the chunks into top / side and then applied the asset's texture to the top and a mud texture with triplanar mapping to the sides. You don't have to manually texture each chunk and piece by hand :)
Nice tutorial, but I won't say it's Mini. For someone who knows little about Houdini, it forces him to ask more questions. It is not clear which VEX code you use with which node. Good luck
@@canyuzlu1931 thanks for the constructive feedback! There is a lot of beginner content already out there and I want to show some advanced setups in a simplified way
You are correct, that this is not meant for beginners. Teaching to create this effect to a beginner would take months of training, because it is quite complex. I will be creating more beginner content soon
