Houdini 18.5 Star Destroyer Breaking Ice + breakdown

This is why I'm scared to render with Mantra. Edit: I'm praying that SideFX speeds up Karma/Mantra a lot in future updates.

Exactly!

[@HangYuriYangFX]

@DurgadasArt thank you! the GPU didn’t do anything… mantra is completely cpu based. New Karma has xpu support, will give it a try.. might speed up my future projects a lot!

[@HangYuriYangFX]

@DurgadasArt actually, it is xpu xD. If the rendering engine can use both cpu and gpu, it will be called xpu🤣 dumb name isn’t it

High quality content for sure. Only thing that bothers me is that you can't really see the starry sky (at least on Earth!) during blizzard

Hahaha! It’s vfx, nothing makes sense😆

[@allenzhu3478]

don't wanna be a picky bastard on this superior content, but the snow/ice being blown down the ship's bridge seems going forever.

Fry: How many atmospheres can the ship withstand? Professor Farnsworth: Well, it’s a spaceship, so I’d say anywhere between zero and one.

@randy baumery Are you okay?

[@thesenate4536]

Wow!! Absolutely gorgeous! I felt like I was watching something directly form ILM. Again absolutely amazing it felt so real with the camera shaking and the wind and the particles just stunning. You earned a sub!!

[@johnlocke3481]

Beautiful and so close to perfection. I could never do this, but I can help with critique so that you get famous quicker. You are almost there! 1.) snow needs to be blurrier/foggier. especially in the background.This ship is HUGE. I should not be able to see the individual snow particles hitting the bridge. 2.) At this scale, that crosswind is like 1,000+ miles an hour? 3.) The snow in the background should appear to move much more slowly than the snow in the foreground since it is SO far away given the ship size. 3.) The ice sheets break up too uniformly both in terms of size and timing. Should be some large sheets that also break into random sizes. Gorgeous work!

[@andrewc5212]

Wow, for a person who loves the detail in this form of artwork and the attention to detail, I must say wonderfully done and presented and I now have a minute level of insight into the dedication most modern film post-filming production must go through. Thank you for allowing those of us, only ever get to see from in front of the screen, a glimpse of the hard and tedious efforts of many that go into entertaining the world for a scant few hours in comparison. Not to throw shade upon those that work the pre-filming, during filming, or even post production. All do a wonderful effort as a whole that just wouldn't be close to as effective if 1 link in the chain were dropped.

[@silasfutura8582]

I’m speechless! That’s insane

[@terricon4]

Well, it does look awesome, excelent video and breakdown. Love it. And no bitching just general critiques/thoughts. The medium ice chunks that fall off of its tower didn't seem to have a wind value on them so they just fell on their own, which did stand out with everything else so heavily blown by it. And just imagining the poor people/robots that were responsible for painting this thing. All that insane surface area on a massive ship, here they are just ramming it through the ice... I could imagine a painter just screaming internally when some of the larger chunks fall down and hit/scrape along stuff. Or the guys that handled installing the windows, lots of potential for scratches with all those windows along the ship...

[@HangYuriYangFX]

the instance layer does have a very small wind value.. the big pieces I just gave up on them.. the cratches, lol, not idea.. it is the future anyway..

[@dsfs17987]

very convenient that the ice was so stressed it shattered evenly in all sorts of tiny pieces like prince Rupert's drop ;)) but seriously - amazing stuff!

[@steve8856]

This is insane Yuri...The shot and the breakdown are both awesome! Super cool~

[@HangYuriYangFX]

Cheers man! I heard you are back to Canada. When are you coming to Vancouver!?

[@alichamas63]

Great stuff! I couldn't help but think from a simulation point of view a LOT more surface material would have been displaced upwards if something that big broke through the surface as it does here. You probably wouldn't even see the ship until it got high enough and all the debris above it fell off. Amazing work though!

[@CelestialxPanda]

Your render is better than the movies.

[@madisonatteberry9720]

"Admiral, why did we submerge, which I didn't even know our vessel could do, into freezing waters, then waiting for the water to freeze over only to break through the ice again?" "Ea, some promotional thing or something."

[@HangYuriYangFX]

O: I think if it can survive in space… in water, it’s probably fine.. great opportunity to catch some fish to eat 😁

[@JoeTaber]

@@HangYuriYangFX More pressure inside vs more pressure outside can make a big difference in the design of a vessel. E.g. they're thinking of trialing a carbon fiber-reinforced inflatable 'balloon' as a new section on the ISS; that wouldn't do much to help a deep sea diver. 😂 But who knows, maybe destroyers were designed for both low and high pressure, I'll allow it.

[@HangYuriYangFX]

@@JoeTaber very nice! idk, I just found that they always have the bay doors opened to the space.. and that's fine.. it is all magic hahahahaha

[@madisonatteberry9720]

@@HangYuriYangFX Yeah.....but also.....a little bit different from vacuum to the pressure of huge bodies of water. Water, as it is compressed air, is about 800 times more dense then air, and I'm not really sure how that works on different worlds, or compares to the vacuum of space. But, yeah, I'm sure in the Star Wars universe, there is such a thing as a 'universal hull' and I would have loved to see 'ship to ship' sea battles in Star Wars with two fleets of hover vessel (similar to Jabba's sail barge) from the Empire and Rebels duck it out 'old style'.

i think it would have looked more realistic if the blowing snow was more fog-like. less of that high frequency details

[@sayochikun3288]

I agree

[@moneymagnetismnetwork]

If you look at submarines breaking ice and coast guard cutters it looks more realistic this way putting fog into it would look more fake in all actuality so it seems as though they were trying to get a more realistic approach with a fictional concept

[@rosumparat]

Badass work. The wind/particles (global vel solver) are a bit to big making the ship look kinda small. The average Star Destroyer is 1.6km in length. Making those particles smaller/denser will give the ship its massiveness.

@@HangYuriYangFX I have learned a lot from your files. Thanks!

[@Nukepie]

@@HangYuriYangFX one question, why are you transforming ship by such as high values in Ship geo node? (those three transforms)

[@HangYuriYangFX]

@@Nukepie every software has their own unit scale. By default, if you get a model from Maya, you should scale it 100 times smaller to the correct Houdini scale. My current company, believe or not, the modelling software’s unit is in feet.. so there is like a 0.3 something scaling needed to do in Houdini.. but overall it’s to just get a correct scale in Houdini.. I think this one is at the end being purposely scaled down just to get the motion quicker. The ship is unbelievably 1500 metres long… a bit too much for me.

[@HangYuriYangFX]

Ayaya, I have heard people talking about the audio should get louder at the end.. guess I missed it!

[@mostafavfx]

Awesome 👍

[@jaycal1920]

Hey thats really great but with large scale then things seem to move slower. See the ice falling if you slowed that down it would seem larger. I mentioned this once before with water. You cant really scale water in real life and models in water give away their scale but even in simulatuon, speed can give away the scale. Gravity is 9.8m/s^2 so if something is say 10 meters and an object falls that speed in 1 second but if an object is 100 meters and it falls that distance in 10 seconds it kind of gives it scale. Great work though i love it, will look into houdini someday.

[@HangYuriYangFX]

Idk where you get the number… 10 metres takes 1.4 seconds and 100 metres takes 4.5 seconds… it is not linear

[@mustafasaleem7468]

Looks Amazing, just one thing to make it achieve Hollywood level, the falling debris should be affected from the fast flowing wind in the left direction.

[@HangYuriYangFX]

there is a very small amount of wind on the instance side... I guess it is not enough hehe xD

[@Marvolo14]

People like to give this scene hell for the absurdity of the Destroyers being frozen in ice, but I think it makes more sense that they were in a massive underground hanger, and the door(s) iced over and snow accumulated on top of the ice. Then when the doors opened in the roof of the hanger the snow and ice remained so the destroyers had to break through the ice as they were rising.
