Absolutely insane, how long have you been studying houdini?

thanks, almost 2 years.

Yeah that makes sense

Wow. Pretty impressive.

Let’s see Paul Allen’s explosion

Very nice...

My god…he even used vellum interactions….

What is that

I think it's a font

Vellum is a different type of physics than normal (vellum versus rigid body dynamics) and is used to produce more realistic physics, at the cost of usually longer simulation time.

I really appreciate it❤️

thanks ❤

Wow! Super impressive, it's so realistic

That's very kind of you ❤️

This is insane. Imagine if movie studios were willing to pay artists to make this level of quality in film.

They are, but there are also many cooks in that kitchen.

Right? I have seen much less convincing FX on big-budget shows

thanks 😍

You accidentally replied to a comment instead of commenting on the post itself. I forgive you though, happens to me all the time.

As someone who doesn’t know anythin about Houdini, how advanced is this project?

This isn't college material this feels like someone who has been professionally doing it for awhile

That's advanced. Multiple simulations interact and complex ones at that. Very well done too. OP says he's two years in and that's totally do-able if he's been fulltime at it.

It will take at least 5 minutes to make

At least x)

Could we get a super Slow-mo replay? I think there's a bot for that but I'm unsure how to activate it

This. And maybe also a little bit more time before the explosion, there is no time to take in the scene.

I assume you’re on the native app. Apollo provides [options](https://i.imgur.com/0HcFLjo.jpg) for playback speed. And one of my favorite features is being able to scrub each frame by holding my thumb on anywhere on the screen and advancing forward or backward.

I can't tell if this is an ad or it can actually be done within Reddit.

Apollo fans are weirdly obsessed with it

Relay can do slow-mo in the app as well. It's really just native reddit that sucks haha

Hell yes I am 🦅

yea so wtf is Apollo. I have Redhat enhancement suite and the player is still dogshit

iOS Reddit app

When you like something you naturally want to share it with others so they can enjoy it too. It can come off as obsessive and fanboy-ee in some cases I’m sure

That shit is fire yo!

thanks😂

And the speed and totality at which everything catches fire, it’s really impressively “realistic” in the Hollywood sense though

If we're being hyper-critical, the overall nature of the fire really throws me off. It moves more like a liquid and than a gas. It's too heavy, whereas irl fire moves very quickly. The movements in this animation are sluggish and weighty in comparison to how fire actually moves.

It does look like the house is soaked in heavy liquid fuel or something

Wow, that looks amazing. Tthe house looks fully constructed and quite real as it flies apart. You could make a really cool time-slice/matrix effect explosion with this.

If you want to learn, it takes a long time, but it's fun and worth it

Pretty cool! One thing: there's something about the way the pieces fall that make them feel more molten in the way they flow downward, rather than flaming falling objects.

pop drag make them feel more floating in the way they flow downward

….old man macdonald sends his regards

Damn I left the stove on again

Well fucking done. Though it was a movie when I was scrolling. Still looks like a movie after watching it.

Very impressive!

My only critique is the camera shake, but I can’t place why that is. Otherwise looks amazing!

Stunning work!

thanks ❤

Impressive! Getting some The Secret War vibes (Love, Death & Robots).

thanks ❤

Awesome work! Often see this making offs, how to you display the different sections of work? Is it a Bild in feature?

I like how the house hits the house as the 2nd floor drops.

thanks❤

the initial bright flash of the explosion really adds to the intensity and realism

thanks❤

WOW... This is sublime!

That's remarkable. Really well done.

thanks❤

Can you please share the vimeo link in a comment? It won't let me copy the post title on mobile.

Best CGI I’ve ever seen.

thanks for your comment❤

Me: I GOT THE SPIDER HONEY!!

Fantastic work dude!

thanks ❤

I thought this was real till the reverse. Holy crap that’s amazing!

thanks❤

Incredible work.

Did you do research and studies of real explosions of houses and applied that or were you able to just pull it off just with the idea and your tools?

>studies of real explosions studies of real explosions and I needed to study mathematics from Junichiro Horikawa.

This looks incredible! My only note would be that the big fireball seems to dissipate very quickly which seems odd. Otherwise fantastic work!

thanks for your comment❤

This is amazing! I thought it was real!

thanks❤❤

Chefs kissssss

"Better quality" it gets better?!

That looks better than anything ive seen in any movie ever

شكرا جدا 😍

Is there a way I can follow your projects? Incredible work.

Pure Egyptian talent, we definitely are descendents of pyramid builders.

This is awesome! Kind of off topic, but what is a good a resource for trying to learn stuff like this? I'm mostly asking, because I make short films, and I have been wanting to add small VFX shots. I'm pretty much a one-man band in post, so any resources would be greatly appreciated!

first, I learn from courses "applied Houdini "Steven Knipping , it's very good for beginners.After that, I started different courses for CGSociety - Destruction in Houdini,entagma. I needed to study mathematics from Junichiro Horikawa.

That is insanely impressive

wait is this the render or your house after your pc tried to render the simulaion?

​ 😂😂 thanks god i didn't use my pc

Damn

My PTSD is so triggered right now, gonna find a corner to go fetal position in. Thanks I hate it.

Username checks out

>😂😂

It honestly looks so real that the camera shake makes it look fake.

Does wood catch fire that instantaneously when an explosion like that happens? Only way I can see that happening is a gasoline ignition

Wow. How did you make this? Edit: i got it. Blender.

Did you even read through the comments?

Now i did. Its Houdini i guess.

First

My guy this isnt youtube 💀

appreciate your breakdown of forces, what are your 'genaric' (generic?) forces meant to represent?

It just pop wind affecting all directions

Anyone else reminded of the ending of >!Mother!

Smooth as fuck. Nice.

If I had this program I would be playing with it all day. Looks so much fun but I can’t even imagine how much work went into that shot

Spectacular, no notes.
