noumiere Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Hi there all! I have what I think is a relatively simple concept but I'm having a hard time pulling it off. Simply put, I have some objects on a desk that will be exploded outwards as if there was a shockwave from an explosion behind it. Currently I've gone the route of using a Fan and Wind but for some reason I'm not getting the proper results. The idea is to have the objects 'thrown' forward so I can get a freeze frame later on. Any input or suggestions to improve from the current implementation would be greatly appreciated as I'm currently starting my dynamics adventures in Houdini. The scene file as well as objects used have been attached, thanks and best regards! blast_shockwave.hipnc explosion_test.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noumiere Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hi all, I managed to find a solution by using a Magnet Force SOP. Now I am having an issue where my alembic exports are crashing Maya - I have read that the solution is the change the animation speed to something slower but I am not sure how to go about this so Maya doesn't crash when I load the alembics. I have attached the updated files, Thanks and Best Regards, blast_shockwave_v02.hipnc explosion_test.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muller Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Could you update if you find a solution to this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noumiere Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Update - There is no solution except to open the file up in 3DS Max and export the contents to an alembic file - they won't crash if you import this in Maya. Thread is resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
