Houdini Water FX Practice
This was a short project where I wanted to practice making water simulations inside of Houdini.
The procedural nature in Houdini made the simulation process very easy, if excluding bake and export time, every object that used a collider node would react to the water.
The hard part was getting the foam into Maya. The best way would've been to export the foam as a VDB sequence, but I never got the amount of detail that I wanted, so I then decided to export the mesh as both a VDB sequence and a mesh. This made the scene in Maya very heavy, but the result looked better.
After that, It was time to render everything and combine it with the live-action footage I recorded.
