Explore a fully procedural head explosion FX setup in Houdini — built from scratch with custom nodes, zero plugins, and designed for maximum control.
This 11-stage HIP project gives you the power to simulate complex tearing, MPM blood splashes, retiming, and dynamic constraints — all driven by flexible parameters. Whether you're building cinematic gore or prototyping destruction FX, this is a powerful starting point.
✅ What’s Included:
• Separate inputs: Skin, Skull, Brain, Eyes
• Procedural meat generation
• Custom MPM solver setup
• Directional control (front, left, right) via one node
• Retime system with full slow-mo control
• Blood simulation + wetmap shading
• Solaris & MaterialX support
• Clean, labeled, customizable node network
• Learning-friendly and production-adaptable
📦 You can replace the default face with your own model. If your model includes a skull and brain, simply connect them to the input section. Minor edits might be needed for alignment.
⚠️ Disclaimer:
The included head model and textures are for demonstration purposes only and not licensed for commercial use. Please replace them with your own assets for production work.
🎓 Built with a technical-first mindset — focused more on FX logic and pipeline flexibility than final rendering. Ideal for Houdini learners and FX professionals alike.
