Welcome to Cinematic Shot! We're going to be using Houdini to simulate all FX, Solaris to assemble the shot, Karma to render. And finally we composite everything in Nuke!
---- Vellum
We’re going to simulate the cape flowing in the wind using Vellum. Learn how to control source geometry to better suit the simulation.
---- Ripple Solver
Using the ripple solver we can fake wind blowing along the shirt. With this method we can very easily achieve fine details in wrinkles.
--- Pyro & Dust
The sandstorm is simulated using a very simple Pyro setup. Using only a few microsolvers we can achieve complex movement. Using this pyro simulation we can now push particles that become the dust layer.
---- Solaris
After we have all FX we can assemble the shot in Solaris. Here we also create some custom materials, do a quick lighting setup and separate all render layers with each respective AOVs.
---- Nuke
In the comp section we’ll bring all our renders together. We’ll go over best practices and some of my favorite nodes and workflows that I use on a daily basis.
----- Downloads
This download contains the Houdini and Nuke project files. You can also grab the renders from the link provided in the zip archive!
