TOTAL DURATION: 3h 35m

In this MPM Masterclass, you will learn the new features that were introduced in H21 as well as the nodes that were added to streamline the post-simulation workflow with MPM. Then, when we have the basics out of the way, we will look at practical demo scenes using all of this goodness.

This Mastercalss assumes that you already know what the MPM Solver is. If this is not the case, we highly encourage you to first watch the MPM Masterclass that was created for the launch of the solver in Houdini 20.5.

    It would be awesome, if we can create various photorealistic galaxies in a few clicks in Houdini! :)

    Great Solver ! Hopefully in future we can add Sop Solver into MPM like Pyro or RBD. I wonder if i can set active points by condition in MPM ?

    I just can't seem to seamlessly stitch the SDF from the MPM solver with the static snow; a seam remains visible. The video example skips over this part.
