arkahtek Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) here is an updated low res screen shot of the shape of the nuke from tweaking the files Edited January 2, 2016 by arkahtek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuenk89 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Finally I finished my project. I like the result but I can improve it (fire detail for example). I changed a lot of parameters, but I think the key is to change the frame rate, from 24 to 72, to get more realistic velocity.

arkahtek Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Nice I'll try the velocity change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmfield Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) So I just ran across this on Vimeo. This is about as good a setup I ever seen. Before this one, the setup used done for the Russian film "Ispytanie" ("The Test") was my personal Houdini-nuke favourite... Oh, and on a sidenote, "Ispytanie" is pretty cool as it's a 1 hour, 46 minute movie, but has no dialogue at all. But it's at least has a big boom.

Cuenk89 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) The second video is insane, but the simulation data is about 9 Terabytes!! Mine is about 80 Gygabites.... and he have 48 gb of RAM, I have 16... Anyway I'm happy with my results at the moment, I learnt a lot. In the future I will have a best pc and more storage Edited November 30, 2015 by Cuenk89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkahtek Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 In the " test "you can see that nuclear blast were done in parts. And not as one whole explosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the " test "you can see that nuclear blast were done in parts. And not as one whole explosion. As you should, imo, at least for the main explosion and the ground effects. Setting it up as one sim will force you into tweaking hell, as well as being less controllable, in production you would never do a setup like this as one simulation, it would be a disaster.

I know, no problem, but it's a bit depressing to know that the way to make a good explosion is with 9 Tb of data. I thought that 80 gb was enough to do a homework explosion... and this doesn't even reach 1% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmfield Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 There is absolutely no need to do that high res simulations for good results and I'm pretty certain those 9 TB is the total disk space used including RnD and tests, not just for the final sim...
