Learn how to create a stylized ground destruction using procedural techniques. These setups are fast, efficient and production ready methods that will work with any geometry. Learn how to layer smoke simulations on top for extra realism.
This course is created by Tom Döring.
Tom is a Houdini artist passionate about creating procedural setups that replicate effects usually achieved through simulations.
With a focus on RBD simulations and simulation free procedural workflows, he strives to build systems that are both efficient and highly art-directable.
