vdb fracturing workflow in Houdini (English & Spanish)




In this course, you will learn how to create high-resolution organic destructions with Houdini's VDB system. This way of working will allow you to simulate RND faster without having a super-powerful computer.

Don't worry about the level because I am going to explain the course node by node and if you have any questions you can always send me an email ; )

All the elements are going to be simulated. We are not going to animate anything with keyframes. We will create the wrecking ball doing a Vellum simulation.

All documentation, models, HDRI, and scenes are included.
