Hello everyone! here is my fun effect: growing mushrooms. Everything is very simple.

The basis of the effect is a growing mushroom (part one) breaking through the ground (part two)
Magic pollen - flipbooks and texture
Everything is made in Houdini and controlled using a timeline

Workflow:
1. If you only need a growing mushroom - VATs or Alembic Export
2. Combine it with a second part to make a fracture - VATs or FBX Export
3. Export Flipbooks as textures

That was fun learning experience, cheers.

Update, Scene is getting bettet!
Made some flipbooks and simple particles.
Grass is canceled
Next step: Figuring out HDA for unity. plagin is working! And I made some parameters in HOudini


And yes, mashrooms are blue now

Small update! Okay the thing is working, now I need to create some different variants, also still don't like a mashroom shape. For the materials, I would probably go with unity toon shade WIP example -

To do list update:
Add grass?
Digital Asset for variations
Particle VFX
Dust flipbook?
More work on the simulation
More work on the scene setup
