Get the Houdini Scene File (.hip) on my Gumroad: https://tondann.gumroad.com/l/lion-sand-sim In this video I am showing the breakdown of my latest project in Houdini. I will cover how to simulate sand with pop grains, create geometry deformation for footsteps using a sop solver. Lastly everything will be combined in Solaris and Nuke for the final shot.
