About the course
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.
Particles
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.
Rendering
In the rendering section, everything will be fairly simple and straight forward. We will create a cloth material using megascans texture, and set up a simple shader for our particle layers.
Nuke / Compositing
Inside Nuke we bring everything together. In this section I will show you a very flexible way to add a logo to our cloth, that follows the animation. We are going to color the particles directly inside of Nuke, using our own custom gradient, to ensure maximum flexiblity.
Downloads
Everything needed to complete this course is included in the downloads (except a couple of megascans textures).

STUDENT SHOWCASE
Nothing is possible without the support of our amazing students and community. Here are some of the best works from our students.
I’ve always admired sci-fi and magical style works, and Voxyde’s recent courses perfectly match my taste! Even though I’m already a senior artist working with Houdini, I found this workshop very helpful. It provided practical solutions for lightning FX and demonstrated how to composite such effects in Nuke.

Having collaborated with Voxyde on many projects, I can confidently say he consistently pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in Houdini. His ability to deliver high-quality FX work under extremely tight deadlines is remarkable. It’s no surprise that his journey with Voxyde has been so successful, and it’s great to see him now sharing his knowledge and helping so many students grow.

I want to thank Rez for the amazing video’s. Creating such a result is a boost to my confidence and skill in Houdini. I will for certain have to go back and rewatch some of the video’s when working on the extra exercise but that is to be expected from a beginner doing this course.

Just finished the course. I would like first of all to thank Rez you are amazing teacher and even a better artist! I come from real time VFX and this is my first time working on an actual cinematic.
Even though that I had never used Nuke in my life, the way the things are explained is just amazing.
Once again thank you.

I have to say thanks for this course. It’s one of the best tutorials I’ve done, full of tips and tricks for building a complete scene from scratch to final render.
I love these generalist tutorials–wish there were more courses like this one. Congrats!
