Applied Houdini是Steven Knipping所创作的一个产品级制作教学系列。Steven Knipping当前是卢卡斯影业工业光魔的资深刚体破坏/特效技术总监，参与制作的电影包括了《星际大战7部曲：原力觉醒》《复仇者联盟2》《明日世界》。本教学教授了Steven Knipping所熟悉的成熟的制作流程，并且深入的研究了技术背后的原理。每个视频都包含了实用的信息与笔注，而不只是没来由的讲解。

在第四部分中，我们将来讲解产品级制作中经常会碰到的灰尘/烟雾/蒸气等场景。我们将从基本的破碎与刚体模拟开始，还会讲解次级粒子模拟。接着我们可以使用破碎MESH的特性来动态的生成体积。还会讲解快速碰撞，精确发射，VEX属性操作等。

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 Force Awakens, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Tomorrowland). 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!

In Dynamics IV, we cover the scenarios for dust/smoke/steam/magic most often found in production work - destruction. We begin with basic fracturing and rigid body simulation, as well as secondary particle simulation. From these we can dynamically source volumes into our smoke sim with characteristics of the fracturing mesh itself. Advanced workflows for speedy collisions, accurate sourcing, and VEX language attribute manipulation are covered in detail.
