本套教程取代了Volumes系列中旧的Dynamics II – Simulation教程！如果购买了正版的Dynamics / Volumes II，可以找作者免费获得CGCircuit Applied Houdini Volumes II也就是Applied Houdini第二卷教程，在本课中，讲解如何用Houdini软件制作实现逼真的烟雾效果，通过探索构成主要Pyro求解器的微控制器，我们将获得精确控制模拟行为，研究高质量输入源如何帮助产生高质量的特效，并以一些基本的着色和渲染，以快速使我们的演示达到满意的效果，在此过程中讲解一些特效专业技巧和窍门，在Houdini中掌握烟雾模拟的乐趣，学习houdini烟雾特效，火焰特效，流体体积，爆炸特效等等。
Applied Houdini是由Steven Knipping创建的一个以生产质量为导向的系列，他目前是Lucasfilm工业光魔（Star Wars：The Last Jedi，Aquaman，Star Wars：Rogue One）的高级刚体毁坏特效FX技术总监。拥有大量工作流程的实战经验，课程会深入解释特效制作背后的运作方式。最重要的是 – 每个视频都充斥着实际的信息和脚注介绍，也就是干货满满，而不是泛泛而谈。
Welcome to Applied Houdini Volumes II – Simulation! In this lesson we’re going to talk about how to make realistic, production quality smoke while creating the result you see here. By exploring many of the microsolvers that make up the main Pyro solver, we will gain an in-depth knowledge of how to precisely control the behavior of our simulation. We’ll begin by examining how a high quality input source helps produce a high quality result, and end with some basic shading and rendering to quickly make our demo look good. Watch out for some pro-tips and tricks along the way, and have fun mastering smoke simulation in Houdini now.
Applied Houdini is a production quality oriented series created by Steven Knipping, currently a Senior Rigid Body Destruction / FX Technical Director at Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light & Magic (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Aquaman, Star Wars: Rogue One). Benefit from production proven workflows while also getting an in depth explanation of why things works they way they do. Best of all – each video is crammed with actual information and footnotes instead of gratuitous talking and dead space.
Steven Knipping
Hey! Check out my demo reel here: https://vimeo.com/161576184 I’m a senior rigid body destruction and FX TD at Industrial Light & Magic, and have recently worked on films including Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Currently working on Star Wars: The Last Jedi! My areas of expertise mainly focus on Houdini-based FX, especially rigid body destruction, particles, and smoke. I have also done a lot of pipeline coding, simulation programming, shader writing, lighting, and even… modeling! Other industry roles included FX positions at Atomic Fiction and The Mill (NYC), and a few years doing hair and cloth at PDI/Dreamworks Animation. Before all that I was a student, ultimately earning an MSE in Computer Graphics from the University of Pennsylvania. I also do lots of metal casting, archery, and of course…. board games.
