Houdini Ground Fracture RBD Tutorial

[@davidmirfilms]

Absolutely stellar! better than most paid Houdini tutorials! Excited to see more!

[@pika9985]

i agree

[@JonasJCom]

Super nice. Only thing I have to add is it would have been nice to see the final render in the end.

[@girlsondecks3974]

This tutorial was well detailed. Earned a sub. I can confirm this

[@pranavchaudhari5828]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I would really love to learn if you make more tutorials

[@0x0abb]

AT 43:25 I click on the Debris, Dopnet1 node, go out to top level, select the Debris node like in the video, ctrl click on Wispy Smoke but it just gives me the default torus and the smoke. It does not take the particles as a source...? I am using Houdini 19 - did something change?

[@SrinathWarrierDOmwarr]

im trying to find the answer for this..if u do please share it

[@0x0abb]

@@SrinathWarrierDOmwarr Sorry, I just saw your message. After the Billowy smoke is created, I removed the torus and created an Object Merge node. Then, you can either import the particles from the Debris node or the Debris Source Geo particles and switch the Mode to Keep Input on the Pyrosource. I traditionally used to use the particles to create smaller debris and the geo-fractured shapes for the smoke which you can do by importing the Out from Debris Source, which are particles of the geo but I change the Debris Source in Post Process, way at the bottom and click Remove Unreleased and remove at End Life End.

@@0x0abb thanks I'll check on it

[@evilbeanz1347]

really love the tut though to save sim time you can do the no inter detail fracture in the sim and then use the point transform to guide your high res fracture after wards.

[@pika9985]

thanks for your clarity , thank you .. you are clear to the point "sadly it's not going like this with the most of people introducing content for people as lessons , but actually it's anything but lessons , the people made these videos know that well .. " thanks again .. keep it "more videos like this" ? .

[@irinamal3518]

Wow. I will try it. Thank you so much ☺️

[@alviszembergs1820]

I like the simple shelf tool approach. And, yes!!! No vexing :))))

Great tutorial. Thanks a lot men!

[@gadass]

Thank you! It's quality content. 🏆 Keep it up! :D

[@dead5kull3D751]

Hey !!!!!!!! I have an issue : when I want to put the smoke, it appears as nex object, not in my dop network........ How to fix this ?

[@sacha6486]

Thank you for your tutorial he help me so much. I have one question. Can I use texture sourcing method to a RBDMaterialfracture ?

[@maxfalahi9893]

Very usefull, Thank you

[@hotsauce7124]

Question, is there a beginner course? This is a great tutorial, I would like to learn more from a beginners point of view.

[@JohnSmith-bf6im]

Search for the "Houdini isn't scary " playlist , it's great for understanding the basics of Houdini.

[@henry-yu2ju]

amazing

[@bondell1840]

Can you provide the hipfiles for this tutorial also?

[@jakewarr6942]

Everything is working well up until the part where the debris needs to collide with the ground geo. I have replicated what you have done (I think) and the particles still fall through?

[@ixoradelphoria7458]

I had this problem too. Found out that increasing the uniform divisions under the RBD solver tab in static object for the ground geo works. Or you can go to the boolean for your ground_geo and pull it down a little more

[@KENCHISYA]

Thank you~ really helpful tutorial~~

[@KeikoFXDesigns]

You don't by perhaps to have any budget classes or courses to take of this software do you? Or do you plan on teaching in the near future?

[@ana-maria-cristinaureche2669]

Hi! Awesome tutorial! However, I have a problem. When I use the attribute wrangle to deactivate some of the points it causes the simulation to stop mid-air for some reason. Do you know what could fix it?

[@bondell1840]

Thanks alot!

[@zalebi6745]

I downloaded Houdini free version and try to follow but I can't find the options you choose, do i need to have license ?

[@scidar1479]

Can somebody help me ? When crtl + click Bilowy Smoke and i choose "debris geo" simultion open in obj network , not obj>debris>dopnet1 What did I do wrong?

[@shekissvlog2148]

worked!

[@alvincentury]

Thanks so much

[@shubsharma5576]

Thanks man🙏

[@intaen]

nice!

[@dragonseyetalkies]

Any chance you could make the project file available? There are a couple of things you do that go by too fast in the video for me to see exactly what you did. Otherwise it's a great walkthrough.

[@RyanShepherdFX]

I'm really sorry I don't have the scene file anymore, I recorded this before Christmas and have done a hard drive wipe since. I'll be sure to include scene files in any future tutorials. (Apologies for the late reply)

[@ixoradelphoria7458]

i followed your tutorial but my smoke doesnt show, just shows me the box and nothing happens. any help?

[@ixoradelphoria7458]

fixed it, delete1 for debris's entity should be changed to points. hope this helps anyone stuck for this tutorial! leave a question if you need anything, i will try my best to asnwer

[@RyanShepherdFX]
