HOU145: Impact-Based Particle Setups in Houdini

One of the key components of epic movie magic happens in the thousands upon thousands of particles emitting in destruction scenes. It might be a collapsing building, a car impact, broken trees and leaves, or an impact on the ground. In this course, you will learn how to sculpt and perfect this extremely common aspect of most FX shot work: the creation of secondary particles and the technical and creative processes behind them. This course and over 250 other courses are available with an fxphd membership. Visit for more details.
