Hello guys!
This is a FX breakdown for a school project. The goal of the project was to create a World War 1 scene. The total length for the shot is 35 seconds.
It is worth to mention that this is mine and Davids "Skybar" second project using Houdini.
We wanted to learn the Maya-> Houdini pipeline and we used alembic to achieve our results.
Houdini was used for all simulations.
The artilley hit and a great part of the explosion shading was made by David.
I was responssible for the tank explosion, tank shot and the tank's exhaustion pipe smoke.
We had one month to learn, create and render all the simulations as well as doing some rotoscoping and modelling. We were able to do all of this with your help, with this fantastic forum with lots of information and knowledge. Expect an update with higher smoke resolution and less flickering on the glow from the tank explosion.
I hope you enjoy it and have have a good one!
