This videos shows how to do real-time destruction in Unreal Engine using Apex. Houdini is then used here for doing custom fracturing. 


 Talk Borderlands 3 by Caitlyn Trout: https://youtu.be/KYCDmOe4i_A​ 


 The video shows a full walkthrough from making a model to destroying it in Unreal Engine. Unreal has a great plugin with Apex Destruction to do this. It offers various settings you can tweak to get decent real-time simulations of destruction. Houdini can be used here for doing custom fracturing of models. This is a strong part of Houdini and you could build complex systems, like in Borderlands 3 to get fracturing the way you want it to be. In the video I will mainly use material fracture node, this is one node that offers a lot of settings for auto fracturing models and adding details to that.

    I hope this works as easy with chaos once they finally release it. Saw on the unreal docs that apex is deprecated and shouldn’t be used for production.

    I am just getting into Houdini, but with the only focused purpose to help me bring my vision into a final product, which is a game in UE4.
    Mainly interested in faster iteration for level creation.
    Thanks Simon, your tuts are gold!
