Learn how to build a cool snowball throw from scratch in Houdini 21, using the MPM solver for realistic results. Follow along as Mikel shows how to add particles, debris, and even render, light & composite the entire shot.
Houdini 21 Tutorial – MPM Snowball
About
In this new tutorial, Mikel takes you through the complete process of creating a realistic snowball throw simulation using Houdini 21’s MPM solver. You’ll learn how to build the setup from scratch, from generating and refining the geometry to seamlessly cleaning and meshing your simulation. Mikel also covers how to enhance realism with secondary FX like particles, snow dust, and debris, and walks you through the full rendering, lighting, and compositing workflow to bring the shot to life. Everything is demonstrated step-by-step, making it easy to follow along and recreate the effect on your own.
