VFX Grace – Volcanic Eruption

Due to the step-by-step nature of Pyro simulations, it’s also suitable for bners. Besides, there are more modules included, such as Height Field, FLIP simulation on lava creation, RBD simulation on terrain destruction, scene assembly, material, lighting, rendering, and compositing, etc, which gives you an overall knowledge of Houdini. In the scene assembly section, a large number of elements of optimization, processing, placement, complex lighting process, and rendering in layers, all of those can definitely give the learners who want to create epic large-scale scenes enlightening guidance.

Comprehensive, large-scale, involving multiple modules.
More simple cases are used to make it easier to understand parameters.
Full process gives you an in-depth understanding of large-scale scenes.
This tutorial concentrates on the technical points involved in Volcanic Eruption, without unrelated techniques.
