Hangar 13 uses Houdini for rigid body and soft body simulations for spectacle events, such as building, tower and bridge destruction - pyro and FLIP fluids to generate sprite content - using point clouds to distribute objects in the massive open world game - and tool building features, including supplying the game artists with a fence tool they can use to quickly set up realistic fences.
