Hi all. I learn houdini about 3 weeks, but wanna make some ship destruction.
For exaple I took my favourite film - star wars. but My knowledge doesn't suffice.
first - I want, that ship blown up on two parts and in some places on the ship covering - there take off some blown up pieces.

If it is not difficult, can you to promt, how can i do this.

ps. sorry for my english. it is isnt my strong side. some words search i in translator)

I don't know, but 3 weeks sounds like an awful short time to be aiming that high…
Start with the basics: try to blow up a cube or anything else and go from there.

You can go here for a short tutorial on breaking things:

It's common in a pipeline to start with rough models and effects and go on refining from there. Don't expect to start already with a final ship and amazing looking effects and stuff. This whole thing of VFX has been a humbling experience to me…

Cheers

ofcource I take a box, thats looks a little like a ship and try to train on it. but yet not unnderstand, how to make this destruction with “make breacable”.
i think voroni dynamics can help me?
