In this new tutorial, Mikel takes you through the complete process of creating a realistic snowball throw simulation using Houdini 21’s MPM solver.
You’ll learn how to build the setup from scratch, from generating and refining the geometry to seamlessly cleaning and meshing your simulation.
Mikel also covers how to enhance realism with secondary FX like particles, snow dust, and debris, and walks you through the full rendering, lighting, and compositing workflow to bring the shot to life.
Everything is demonstrated step-by-step, making it easy to follow along and recreate the effect on your own.
Enjoy the tutorial, and let us know what you think! If you like this, we'll be sure to make more :)
