This short animation uses Houdini for the modeling, rigging, animation and rendering. The fur is generated using the new fur shelf tools and is simulated using wire dynamics.
This project was completed in about three weeks by artist Keith Acheson and shows what can be accomplished "off-the-shelf" using Houdini.

Smoke bomb Smoke bomb
Posted by: houdini3d

Video duration: 30 seconds

This dyanamic simulation of a smoke bomb integrates Houdini's Rigid Body and Voxel Fluid Dynamics. The smoke is emitted using the normals of the bomb canister to make sure they emit in the proper direction. The look of the smoke is derived from the material-based noise which sticks to the smoke as it moves. The final look is also enhanced with per-voxel motion blur.

Fire Ball Fire Ball
Posted by: houdini3d

Video duration: 10 seconds

This fire effect was created in Houdini 9.5 using volume fluids. The flaming ball was rolled into shot where it's temperature attributes spread onto the fuel causing even more fire to ignite. Point lights were instanced throughout the fire to simulate its glow.
