Learn how to create metal destruction, denting, and tearing effects in Houdini 22 using the new RBD metal fracture workflows. This tutorial covers how to fracture thin and thick metal surfaces, configure material-based constraints, control bending behavior, and use RBD Deform Pieces to produce stable, detailed metal damage.

You’ll also explore a cannonball impact setup using secondary fractures, proxy-based deformation, refinement, and constraint controls to create realistic dents and tearing along primary fracture cuts. This workflow is valuable for artists who want to build more believable metal simulations while maintaining control over stability, deformation quality, and final surface detail.
