Magic Grenade Houdini Shot

This product includes the Houdini Hip File for recreating this Magic Grenade Explosion shot.

It was created in Houdini 20.5 (so please be aware that some nodes are not updated in older versions)

Included in the file:

• Grenade Procedural Modelling and Animation using a combination of techniques (Traditional animation, RBD animation, and Animation using CHOPS operators)
• Heightfields Modelling.
• Complete setups for all FX layers.
• All links to the 3D objects used for the environment are provided (some of them are paid, so keep that in mind). Most of the props are only for populating the scene and do not interact with the FXs, so you don’t really need them. For most FX layers that require external 3D objects (such as rock or cloth interactions), I am creating proxies so you can follow along with the setup without downloading the 3D objects if you don't want to.
• Full Solaris setup for shading and rendering with Karma (please note that caches and USD files are not included).
• Three frames rendered, comped and not comped, so you can see how much was adjusted in Nuke.

Nuke script for compositing is not included.

If you have any questions about the setup, you'll find an email address in the downloaded folder to contact me.

Note: Please do not purchase this product if you are new to Houdini or lack a basic understanding of the software. This is not a tutorial for the shot.

Enjoy :)
