In this video tutorial from Urban Bradesko, we'll show you how to create an anime-inspired large-scale impact inside Houdini.
A big thank you to Jesse Gozo for setting up this project file.

Wow i just thought: "damn another course i cant afford" but its actually the whole tutorial. THANKS!

As a blender artist it feels like I have walked into the enemies camp watching this

Hey Guys!, Did you really finish this tutorial? Why nobody asking questions? Was it easy to solve?
When you proceed with this tutorial, you will be stuck because you cannot see same result in 1:26:10.

The pieces position(P) will not move according to the "down" vector.
Because it was set to "Primitives Data" not "Point Data" in 42:34.
If you change 'down' vector type, from"Primitives" to "Point" and save the cache again(46:12), you can solve this problem.
Then you will also see correct result about velocity line 1:29:13.
I don't know if it's because of editing in the video, but it wasn't mentioned.

If you don't solve this, you can't also proceed to next step 'FX_RBD_Secondary' (1:30:50).
Because 'FX_RBD_Secondary' use velocity attribute from 'FX_RBD_MOON'

I'm a beginner, so it was too hard to solve this. T_T

+Watch out 1:23:48 Line 9 // 0, 1 -> 1, 0 it was changed and not mentioned.

I saw this animation, a few months ago and was completely blown away by the detail and just general coolness. The fact that I can now watch a tutorial on how to replicate it is blowing my mind even more!!

[MegumiHayashida]

We truly needs a live adaptation with 'Gantz:O' graphics seriously, imagine...

[fidofx]

I love that youre doing more free stuff now

[SamuraiTin]

That's awesome, the main reason why I wanted to learn houdini is to make this kind of effects from One Punch Man!!! Now I hope I'll be able to reproduce it

[feiloq]

I spent 2 days learning this tutorial. And the fear of VEX just gone away... Very like the teaching way of teacher Urban!!!

[thingd]

your scene is very clean.everything clear.i love to see how others work.good job.

[AshraafM]

Im telling you. if you want more viewers, do more anime scenes like this. Anime fans are

[Sweenus]

Id love to see a version of this with a glow coming from the cracks, all that compression that quickly at that scale is bound to generate some heat

[jacksonlcf]

respect
all that for a 2-3 sec dope shot

[hydeman]

I'm not bald yet, but that was a very good tutorial, thanks a lot for explaining everything in a super clear way ! 👌

How could I ever thank you enough Rebelway..

[joshcruzcinema]

Amazing! Can’t wait to dive into Houdini

[DGalious]

43:22 spent a few days trying to make the noise working. Had no noise at that step.
Here are the settings which made the noise work, if anyone has the same issue:

Attribute names = Vector P
Attribute Class = Point
Range Values = Positive Values Add
Noise Type = Simplex

The rest of settings are default.

My mistake was setting the Range Values as "Set", while I should have chosen the setting "Add"

"Who are you!?"

[taureanwooley]

It's quite crazy how far houdini came from being picked up as pixars updated version to its current stand alone scenario driven monster. Hopefully some of the simulations remain current.

Keep up the work
Ive learned alot from you I'm so grateful
Thank youu
