Houdini Ocean - Spaceship Rise from Underwater - Scene File Walkthrough

Hi guys,
I did this ocean sim setup in Houdini 16.5 about two years ago and I want to share some aspects about it. I know it's a bit old way but I think some beginners might still need it. Hope I could help you here :)
(Recommend playing the video 1.5x)
The scene file is available here: (cgsouls.gumroad.com/l/BQLTW?_.... )
Thanks for watching and hope you'll have a great day!

First quality breach video I’ve found for houdini. Can’t wait for the full tutorial. Great work! 🔥🔥👍

[@kwongster]

great tutorial. Lots of in-depth explanation and organized walkthrough :)

[@gwhiteooo]

This is awesome. As a beginner, a full tutorial would be great!

[@DANDOOZLED.com_]

thank you for this walk through, I just purchased the scene file! I'll be using this as an example to further my knowledge on how to use flip in my own way! thanks again!

[@franktseng2425]

DANDOOZLED just curious if scene works? I am new in Houdini and wonder if u can simply use this asset to any 3D model?

[@DANDOOZLED.com_]

@@franktseng2425 technically yeah u can, and it works just a very large cache file size

[@franktseng2425]

DANDOOZLED I guess...have u finished a scene? How much memories u bake and how long it took for baking and rendering?

[@milad_savar]

amazing , First cool flip tutorial i see

Very nice

[@TheCool1986vfx]

hey man! thanks for video, this is so cool! btw what is your PC Hardware? and can you advice how much RAM needs for simulations , in plans build new PC, max limit up to 512 Gb, of course if it really matter, or maybe you can tell where is really need that ammount of ram, because I do remember some simulations really is hungry for RAM Thank you in advanced!

[@jamescuedy2970]

Hello I really love your tutorials...can you please share the PC setup you use? And the minimum hardware requirement needed to achieve this ?

[@hemanthkumar2044]

great work brother.. how long it took for render???

[@zhaolei6650]

大佬真牛。

[@sowugamers52]

Amazing! Will you do tutorial? I'll wait!

[@davidasatryan3262]

gr8 work!!!But i have question about the scale os this scene, is that made in Meters or Centimetres?

[@starlight055]

i would assume metres. houdini reads things as meters; and things react based on real-life scale. So, given how it looks, I'd think it's in meters :)

[@merion297]

Incredible! But it lacks refraction. I have a Proof of Concept video about a non-RT non-PT quasi-refraction, originally for gaming engines. Would you mind to try to implement it to see if it's useful (meaning it makes credible refraction without ray-tracing or path-tracing)? I don't know Houdini but it requires something like Blender's Geometry Nodes system.

[@saladinvfx6424]

This is really awesome. Did you have an updated link for the scene file? because link in description already expired.

What is your System specs? Is it better to have a better CPU or GPU for simulations?

how do i seperate the color for spray, foam and bubble in Houdini 18. There are no those attribute in the DOP I/O?

[@shanshanli7140]

meet the same problem here

[@ryan3dartist]

what was the size of your sims on disk? ty

[@pavinivfx]

Feeling scared because I'm about to make a houdini class in February and I don't know how you guys can render in a laptop with this quality

[@ziqingzhang942]

Oh my God, I can’t believe you did it with a laptop. How much RAM does this require? Didn’t it burn?

[@ziqingzhang942]

Ok I see you used 32g

[@jhkim648]

he is angel

[@vahidabdollahi9624]

is there an update for Houdini 18?

[@user-bu7gk4um1c]

i bought this project yestoday , and have a trouble :how can i replace the content where in obj>flattank_fluid>Import_flipSim>Geometry File>"F:/Ocean_Spaceship/Houdini/geo/$OS/$OS.$F.bgeo.sc" cause i havent this file in my computer.(I am Chinese and my English is bad ,hope you can understand what i mean :))

[@digitalsouls2020]

啊这个你要自己给个path去模拟sim，毕竟缓存文件较大，网盘放不下。如果前面没有error，你可以直接cache to disk的

[@butterscotchoreo8739]

Why is this in HawksNest's Damascus playlist?

No idea

How to separate whitewater bubbles spray to different groups?

[@digitalsouls2020]

Assuming you're using houdini 17.0 and above. Previously in other houdini versions you could just split foam bubbles and spray via point groups generated by the whitewater solver. However since H17 it doesn't generate these groups anymore. On the whitewater solver there is an add state attributes tickbox. This will give you an attribute of 0-1 for bubbles, foam and spray.

[@MrFreyr13]

@@digitalsouls2020 attribute - yes, but how to convert those attrbs to groups (and render them separate). i`ve found something like solution with attrib wrangle, but may be you know better variant?

hmmm yes Houdini houdini is better than Maya

The water falling from ship is way too fast - doesn't look realistic.
