Hi,
I'm showing you a personal project I'm working on.
It's a firebomb crash inspired to 2012 movie.
I've taken the background movie with a 550D camera and I've matched that. Next I've started to
work on the simulation.
Here's a flipbook preview from the Houdini viewport, with a low res container(70 res), but
the upres container is 500 subdivision(I use it only for the final render).
See you soon with new update!

First rendering test(lowres container)…

Here's a new simulation/rendering test.
Upres container resolution: 300
Sim/rendering time: 48 h

Good start !

Simming the impact point:

Here's a new rendering!
I've optimized the general rendering time with depth shadows:
And I've raised up the container resolution(550)
Sim time: 8 hours
Rendering time: 2 hours

Smoke looks really nice, the debris bits move too fast IMO, throws the scale off. Overall nice though!

Cheers,

Peter B

thanks!

Finally I've finished the simulation!
Here's the final version composited
