Houdini 是一个特效方面非常强大的软件。许多电影特效都是由它完成：《指环王》中“甘道夫”放的那些“魔法礼花”，还有“水马”冲垮“戒灵”的场面，后天中的龙卷风等等，a52的汽车广告，反正只要是涉及DD公司制作的好莱坞一线大片，几乎都会有Houdini参与和应用。
Houdini不光只适用于视觉特效的制作，随着HOUDINI适用于各种平台，并且出现了很多的HOUDINI培训教学，HOUDINI开始进入了动态图像设计领域。因为其自身的流程化特性，加上其强大的动力学系统，让HOUDINI在数据可视化方面占有一席重要的地位，让图形设计师能够通过它表达自己的观点。
•在这期Houdini视频教程中，主要学习如何从零开始模拟高度破坏，包括Houdini刚体基础介绍，Bullet Solver，多个约束条件，故障排除和缓存， Cluster集群约束，通过分解几何和添加约束来增加复杂性，学习如何添加细节，材质并渲染效果。软件要求：SideFX Houdini。
•Do you want to learn how to create large scale destruction effects in SideFX Houdini? If so, Houdini Architectural Destruction is the perfect course for you because you will learn how to simulate a high detailed destruction from scratch. First, you will start with some rigid body basics. Next, you’ll add complexity by fracturing geometry and adding constraint. Finally, you will learn how to add detail and render your effect. When you’re finished with this Houdini course, you’ll not only have created your first destruction effect from scratch, but also you will be able to apply that knowledge in creative ways in your own rigid body simulations. Software required: SideFXHoudini.
