Houdini Destruction: Build, Fracture & Simulate
$49
ENROLL NOWCourse Overview
What You'll Learn
- By the end of this course, learners will design, fracture, simulate, and finalize cinematic destruction sequences in Houdini.
- They will master key skills such as breaking geometry with SOP tools, generating advanced Voronoi and VDB fractures, optimizing destruction through packed and proxy geometry, controlling simulations with DOP Networks, and applying realistic constraints like hard, glue, and cone twist setups.
- Learners will also simulate secondary debris and integrate Pyro FX for smoke, fire, and explosive effects, creating production-ready destruction shots.

They will master key skills such as breaking geometry with SOP tools, generating advanced Voronoi and VDB fractures, optimizing destruction through packed and proxy geometry, controlling simulations with DOP Networks, and applying realistic constraints like hard, glue, and cone twist setups. Learners will also simulate secondary debris and integrate Pyro FX for smoke, fire, and explosive effects, creating production-ready destruction shots. This course is designed to provide a step-by-step production-based approach, moving beyond simple demonstrations to industry-level workflows. Each module focuses on practical problem-solving, from refining fracture realism to troubleshooting orientation issues in constraints. Learners will benefit from hands-on projects that replicate real-world visual effects pipelines, gaining the confidence to build destruction systems for film, games, and animation. What makes this course unique is its comprehensive coverage of both geometry preparation and simulation workflows, ensuring learners not only understand the “how” but also the “why” behind every technique in procedural destruction.
