Particles V – Grains is here to teach you how to make epic snow/sand/mud effects with grains in the Vellum Solver, also known as PBD (point based dynamics)! In this lesson we will quickly learn how to efficiently simulate millions of tiny stacking particles in order to make a snowy expanse collapse into a sinkhole. Along the way we’ll control various properties and constraints to control our grain simulation, as well as cover novel geometry and rendering based tricks to make our snow look as good as possible. Start playing with snow with grains today!

Course Description
Here it is, Applied Houdini Volumes III v2 – Rendering and Sparse Simulation! In this lesson, we’re going to talk about how to make a detailed, colorful, and fast smoke simulation by taking advantage of the Sparse Pyro solver. We’ll start by sourcing our smoke with a particle simulation, and see just how the Sparse solver works to help us achieve high resolution results faster. We’ll go over the most common types of lights and how they work with volumes, which we can then control further with material settings. We’ll also cover a lot of universal volume rendering concepts, and how we can apply them to Mantra to both iterate faster interactively, while also making effecient high quality renders. Finally, these images will be manipulated post-render with Houdini’s own compositing tools, to make our final images. Run better sims and understand more deeply how volumes are shaded and rendered today with Applied Houdini!

Welcome back to Applied Houdini for Particles VI: Programming Behavior! In this lesson we’ll talk about how to have absolute control over everything every particle does at any time using the VEX language as well as programming concepts in general. In particular, we will address how we can create particles that individually make multiple decisions based off their surroundings and other criteria. All that plus some fun secondary procedural geometry modelling results in super detailed and complex effect! Along the way we’ll talk about a whole bunch of my most favorite tips and tricks too, so get ready for one of the most exciting Applied Houdini lessons yet!
