[@viewee22]

Hey Guys!, Did you really finish this tutorial? Why nobody asking questions? Was it easy to solve? When you proceed with this tutorial, you will be stuck because you cannot see same result in 1:26:10. The pieces position(P) will not move according to the "down" vector. Because it was set to "Primitives Data" not "Point Data" in 42:34. If you change 'down' vector type, from"Primitives" to "Point" and save the cache again(46:12), you can solve this problem. Then you will also see correct result about velocity line 1:29:13. I don't know if it's because of editing in the video, but it wasn't mentioned. If you don't solve this, you can't also proceed to next step 'FX_RBD_Secondary' (1:30:50). Because 'FX_RBD_Secondary' use velocity attribute from 'FX_RBD_MOON' I'm a beginner, so it was too hard to solve this. T_T +Watch out 1:23:48 Line 9 // 0, 1 -> 1, 0 it was changed and not mentioned.

[@user-cj9lw9ng3e]

[@thing3d]

your scene is very clean.everything clear.i love to see how others work.good job.

[@SamuraiTin]

That's awesome, the main reason why I wanted to learn houdini is to make this kind of effects from One Punch Man!!! Now I hope I'll be able to reproduce it

[@dowairu]

I saw this animation, a few months ago and was completely blown away by the detail and just general coolness. The fact that I can now watch a tutorial on how to replicate it is blowing my mind even more!!

[@Joshcruzmadeit]

Amazing! Can’t wait to dive into Houdini

[@Sweenus987]

Id love to see a version of this with a glow coming from the cracks, all that compression that quickly at that scale is bound to generate some heat

[@Rebelway]

Well you're definitely in the right place.

[@taureanwooley]

It's quite crazy how far houdini came from being picked up as pixars updated version to its current stand alone scenario driven monster. Hopefully some of the simulations remain current.

[@SHOUVIK4014]

[@Ok-iq1mz]

Underrated video

[@denisgontar2161]

Awesome !!!

[@byHazee]

Perfection.

[@damagejacked]

This is awesome, but one thing--in the shared file, the velocity attribute reads as zero after the main RBD Rotation wrangle. In the video there's measurable velocity at, say, frame 35. This means the particle sim speed cull doesn't work.

[@larsonlevius1753]

Ye ofc thats whats missing velocity it self is zero when rbd main sturctures measures the wrangle rotation. Frame it self should stay at the normal particle speed to measure the inertia speed more precisely..... ye ye me smart 😎

[@damagejacked]

No, it's more than whatever you're saying. The results in the Geometry Spreadsheet *in the video* are different than what the Geo Spreadsheet shows in the example file, and it means the tutorial comes to a full stop. The tutorial just doesn't work from that point onward.

[@vasonator1]

[@jhonyalvesvfx6475]

thank so much!

[@Rebelway]

You're welcome!

[@DanteMetaphor]

Oh my god, this is insane.

[@blaux]

I think this looks so good that it could be passed as true realism with a bit more toning and occlusion, but the camera movement makes the whole scene look fake. Might wanna try stiffer camera movements with less smoothing on the camera sway. (This is from the perspective of someone who doesn't know anything about this hobby).

[@colmyervfx7905]

I agree, but he was just trying to match the corresponding scene in the anime

[@krishnanunnib4546]

[@DGalious]

43:22 spent a few days trying to make the noise working. Had no noise at that step. Here are the settings which made the noise work, if anyone has the same issue: Attribute names = Vector P Attribute Class = Point Range Values = Positive Values Add Noise Type = Simplex The rest of settings are default. My mistake was setting the Range Values as "Set" , while I should have chosen the setting "Add"

😅😅 i am not even an artist or anything but i love to learn stuff , unfortunately i can't afford your course so i will watch this to learn something new

[@asotequila321]

I get a question, you set attribute down at 42:31, the down is prim attribute, and the rest node shows it's still prim attribute at 43:38. but it turns to point attribute at 46:21 after the voronoifracture. I wonder when you did that change?

[@killianmonson]

Where did you get the moon textures from? I'm just recreating the render from the hip file to see how it should look and mantra's trying to look for a texture file of the moon

[@PolyHound4504]

thanks for wonderful tutorial, I had fun getting myself bald. i wonder if i can use what i made for my portfolio by watching this video ( not downloading the scene on link) the look(result) is same so asking just in case it could be a trouble...

[@Rebelway]

Hey, yes you can use it on your portfolio if you created it. :)

[@mettalmorpheus]

As someone who is learning 3d and stuff, is houdini a full 3d solution like maya or 3dsmax, etc. or is a full physics and particle effect only solution?

[@moas13415]

Its as full a 3D solution as Maya and Cinema 4D. No one uses 3ds Max Anymore. Houdini even has its own procedural rigging system and every modelling tool available.

[@SamuraiTin]

Hi I'm checking the RBD Moon geo network and at the "RBD rotation" part, it looks like the "primintrinsic transform" affects the scale as well, not just the rotation. I have checked by blasting a piece and I can clearly see that at the impact, it rotates and scale down as well! Is it normal?

[@karimoh3154]

I had the same issue and found a workaround / fix... The @down attribute needs to be on the points. but for some reason it is still on the primiteves. So you can do an other attribute promote just for @down from primitives to points and then it works.

[@SamuraiTin]

@@karimoh3154 you're right it works thanks! I was wondering how can a matrix rotation do a scale change... I tried to do some research on the vex expression to check if there were not some option that changes the scale but actually it was just a format issue...

[@vetomcie2319]

Hi, i'm a beginner, did another beginner like me been able to follow this tutorial and understand most of it ? Just to know if i should dive in or do more basics tutorials before ?

[@PlaidBlackHawk]

Definitely not beginner. It's more intermediate to advanced. The code and math related topics, like matrices and intrinsic attributes are more relied upon in more complicated FX, like this. Would be very overwhelming for beginners, I imagine.

[@vetomcie2319]

@@PlaidBlackHawk thx for the answer, appreciated 😁

[@darkarps]

freaking amazing tutorial, thank you Urban. What is the keyboard shortcut to increase/decrease the size of the font of the wrangle like you do at 1:12:16 ?

omg, ctrl+ or ctrl-

[@EduardoDiscaciate]

Awesome, Would love to see a realistic version without the turbulent flow. A realistic version probably would look fake even in real life due to the lack of an atmosphere.
