COURSE OVERVIEW

Burning Flag FX

Learn how to use Houdini Vellum to setup a cloth simulation and tear it on collision. Using the fractured edges we will create a burning particle layer to add complexity to the shot.
Seamlessly blend between simulations, using various attributes like velocity to mask the areas of blending.

What You'll Learn

Take your skills to the next level with an in-depth course design

Vellum & Attribute Growth

We will create and animate the collider geometry to drive the main deformations of our cloth. Using a custom growth solver we will be able to manually delete constraints from the vellum object, causing the cloth to tear.

Particle FX

We will base our particle emission source on the cloth that we created. We will create a smoke simulation first, and then advect our particles using the velocity field, and we will create 2 different layers of particles.

Blending Simulations

Using various attributes we can create masks to seamlessly blend between simulations. This allows for more control and flexibility in deciding the final look.

Nuke Compositing

Inside Nuke we bring everything together. We are going to color the particles directly inside of Nuke, using our own custom gradient, to ensure maximum flexiblity.
