Houdini offers many tools for controlling particles with precise movement. To get the results you want, it’s important to understand how to work with vectors.

You also need to know how to turn these particle simulations into geometry, and then apply shading and rendering to complete the process. Mastering these steps will give you full creative control over your simulations.

What you will learn

Procedural Icy Branches

Build dynamic ice growth using layered POP simulations. You’ll learn how to art direct the branches and ensure they work on any mesh. Get a deeper understanding on manipulating and creating custom vectors.

Ambient FX & Particles

Conjure a swirling snowstorm and a subtle wind effect with POPs. We’ll create realistic falling snow particles and a simple fog volume. Here we explore different rendering techniques in Karma

Magic in Solaris

Unlock the power of Solaris to render stunning visuals. Craft a snowy ground material with Material X and a custom frosted helmet shader with SOP context integration

Nuke Compositing

We’re going to layer everything together in Nuke and use custom render attributes to drive different effects. Combine different render passes to achieve a stylized look
