Explosion, using particles in Houdini udemy course
Particle explosion, Pyro simulation
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).
