exploding car

Recommended Posts

Hi there, this is my first posting on here, and i'm still a massive amateur with houdini, and i'm having a problem....

I have modelled a lego car, with all the little bits making up the car as you'd expect from a Lego car. I want to animate it racing down a road, then crashing into a boulder, and exploding, so all the individual pieces come apart, then i want to animate the pieces rebuilding in to two seperate Lego bikes, and then have them drive off down the road.

Is there a simple way to animate the explosion and rebuilding bit, cos it's sooo complicated at the moment with loads of pieces, and it'd take forever to keyframe each one moving away then comign back together.

Also, can someone please tell what the best possible PC spec you could have to run Houdini and any other good CG software on? My computer is really good(i thought) but is seriously struggling with my car/bike thing...

Thanks in advance for all your help.
