Melting effect in Houdini


Lauren

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I am in trying to create a tool for VFX artists that will allow them to realistically 'melt' geometry. In order to create the effect itself I have used a liquid container and the ‘liquid from object node’. The geometry seems to collapse in on itself however the effect I wish to achieve will allow the user a "perspiring" effect for an object like an ice cube. I am quite new to Houdini but felt it was the most appropriate software because of how effective its solvers are. I f anyone has any ideas or tips I would be most grateful.
