Shattered Ground Houdini Examples

Shattered Ground Examples

In this Post i will show u some ways to recreate a ground breaking FX like the one in organika/me MTV ad.

I want to share with alll the community some of the main files for this project AS /IS.

i made it pretty fast so there is a lot of dissorder. You can download it from here >

First Let me show you a simple approach.

And if you want! you can see some basic examples of this technique inside this hips >

Will be using particles instancing geometries cause this is a way times faster than doing it with RBDs . Anyway if some people is interested in running this on RBDs i can make a tutorial for that.

So first, we start it a ground plane with 10 x 10 division, a polygon.

For the first tutorial yhis planes will work in 2 branches.

One branch will be the deforming and normals target surface
The second Will be the particles system.

Finally this branches will be used to instancing the ground overall geometry.

So, you need to connect a NULL to your PLANE and named it sourcepoints. This is important cause we will create a procedurally system that will work in function of the number of points in the control surface.
