Hi everyone, first post here.
I'm starting to learn houdini and of course i need a lot of help since the documentation is quite poor...i hope you guys can give me some heads up.
My problem is basically the old brickwall destruction problem.
My goal is to destroy the wall having clusters of bricks, single bricks and brick shards. and of course i would like the clusters to break into smaller clusters or single brick on every subsequent impact and so on.
So far i managed to create a glue network which i delete gradually using a sphere with points from volume node, and painted clusters which are not deletable, so they should behave like subsets of the main glue network (breaking accordingly to their strength).
And here the odd behaviour happen...glue network bonds seems to reappear and stop the shards quite randomly.
anybody has any idea?
any help would be so much appreciated
also, some tips on how to paint different vaues of glue strength or how to procedurally set the glue strength based on distance between pieces would be a plus.
thanks so much in advance to anyone who replies this post
you can find attached a flipbook showing in red the glue network bonds that reappear
