Requirements

No special requirements, we`ll create all from scratch to the final result.

Description

An example, how we can create an explosion with particles system in Houdini 17. Also, will simulate a dust wave. As an option, create a multiple explosions using wedge. And at the end, besides the mantra render, I`ll show you how to export information for visualization into another render engine (Arnold in this case) or 3D software (3Ds max was used for final render in video).
