Fundamentals of Rigid Body Dynamics in Houdini

In this series of Houdini tutorials we'll get an introduction to Houdini's dynamic context by exploring object collisions.

Learn an intuitive workflow to creating complex rigid-body simulations and realistic effects with practical projects and examples. Contains over three hours of project-based training for artists learning rigid body tools in Houdini. Popular highlights include: Rigid Body Setup; Dynamic Operator Networks; Physical Properties; Initial States; Deforming Rigid Bodies; Forces; Constraints; Groups; Rigid Body Creation; Cookie Shatter; Fracture and Glue Objects; Animation to Simulation Switch; DOP Expressions. Software required: Houdini 9.1 and up.
