FXPHD - Realistic Destruction Workflows

https://www.fxphd.com/details/627/

This course will guide you through the latest destruction processes and workflows using Houdini and Bullet. Technical methods as well as eye development come together in the course and you'll be guided through the complete destruction process, producing a realistic final result.  Realistic destruction starts with reference and high quality, representative fractures. Constraints between rigid body objects should be varied and appropriate based on material type. Testing for realism can be performed prior to simulation and the simulation can be assessed both as a scientist as well as an animator. Post motion processing can final a tough destruction shot in days instead of weeks.  For many years Andrew has been recognized by industry as an FX TD and trainer.Movie creditsstudios include /Mummy 3, Aliens in the Attic, Invictus, Thor, Sucker Punch, Transformers 3, Jack the Giant Slayer, and Ender's Game at studios Digital Domain, Rhythm and Hues, and Animal Logic.He's conducted many seminars around the world and written articles, authored a Houdini book, and heads initiatives like the Houdini Music Toolset.
