Houdini Cutting System

My name is Mehdi Salehi. I have worked as a VFX and motion designer for nearly 10 years. As an instructor, I am always interested in sharing new solutions and methods for VFX. In this tutorials, I show you how to create a cutting system inside Houdini 14 or later. The first chapter shows how you can create a basic cutting system. In chapter 2 and 3, I show how the network can be applied to the DOP network for the simulation. During these two chapters, you will learn how you can modify an object and also number of the separated pieces during the simulation. So, you will learn how to use this method for the simulations, not limited to the cutting animation. At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to create a cutting system and used it for either softbody or rigidbody simulations.
