JayAims Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hello All, I was wondering about how layered effects in Houdini would work.Example: a statue destruction sim with a smoke sim for the dust. Would you do the dust in a separate Houdini file or layer or all in the same one? Basically where do you start with more complex effects like this? Thanks in advance!

That way it is easy to go back and forth. To get complete control in the comp, I would render each element separately though.-Ryan Edited March 15, 2016 by rbowden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
