Procedural Generation and Simulation
Prof. Dr. Lena Gieseke | l.gieseke@filmuniversitaet.de | Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF
Session 07
We will discuss this session on Monday, June 27th.
This session should take less than 4h.
Task 1: Chapter 07 - Dynamics
Task 2: A Basic Force Setup
- Complete the Houdini Tutorial - A Basic Force Setup
Submit your houdini file as pgs_ss22_tutorial_04_lastname.hipnc, at least one image file as pgs_ss22_tutorial_04_lastname.png and one animation as pgs_ss22_tutorial_04_lastname.gif.
Task 3: Intro Rigid Body Dynamics
There are vast possibilities to work with build-in force-based systems in Houdini. For this task you should explore as first introduction force-based systems in Houdini.
The Houdini Tutorial - Intro Rigid Body Dynamics is a good introduction and fairly well explained. I recommend that you complete this tutorial. If some of the terms in the tutorial feel foreign to you, feel free to look them up in the Houdini documentation.

If you prefer to do a different tutorial, you can. The tutorial should be somewhat connected to a dynamic system, ideally using forces (however, keep in mind that we will get into particles next week). Some options could be (I haven’t completed these):
- Houdini Tutorial: Breaking Glue with Forces
- Building Constraint Networks For Rigid Body Simulations
- Houdini Tutorial: FLIP Interface Reactions
- Finite Element Solver Tutorial
- Rigid Body Simulation with Glue Constraints, Control Destruction with Force Fields in Houdini Simulations, Control How Glue Constraints Break in Destruction Simulations
- Splintering a Wooden Fence With Rigid Body Simulations
If you chose your own tutorial, also submit a link to the tutorial you followed.
You are not required (but encouraged!) to submit a proper rendering. However, for this exercise a flipbook rendering of the simulation is just fine.
Submit your houdini file as pgs_ss22_dynamics_lastname.hipnc, at least one image file as pgs_ss22_dynamics_lastname.png and one animation as pgs_ss22_dynamics_lastname.gif.
Happy Forcing!
