In this Houdini destruction course, we are going to shake the earth to collapse a huge bridge.

You will learn to set up and fracture geometry, deform metals, create and control constraints, perform simulations with RBDs, Vellum and Pyro, generate debris, dust, volumes, and a lot more.

We will teach you the latest tools and workflows used in the new Houdini 18.5.

Upon completion of this course, you will have gained a set of technical and artistic skills that will allow you to develop feature-film-quality destruction shots for your demo reel.

We will include all the assets and hip files used in the course, including the bridge, various car models, all Arnold shaders, cameras, and the final scenes of every week.

Although this is not a course on lighting, rendering, and composition, you will learn what it takes to present your work with a professional finish. For more information, see the content of Week 5.
