It can also be used for soft body effects with volume preservation. The Finite Element solver analyzes the stresses on an object then either bends or breaks the object. In Houdini 13, the Finite element solver brings this leading edge technology to the forefront. To create realistic destruction effects, the industry is moving to the use of finite elements. There are also new tools and forces such as the Axis Force which uses 3D volumes to control particles. To control these particles, there is a new stream concept as well as the use of VEX-based expressions which are much faster and more flexible. This vex-based architecture is multi-threaded and allows for speeds up to 10x faster and cached results that allow for scrubbing back and forth in the timeline. With Houdini 13, particles have been fully integrated into the dynamics context for better behaviour, more control and interaction with other simulation tools. Particles have always played a key role in the creation of VFX in Houdini even as Rigid Body Dynamics, Fluids and Cloth effects have begun to take over. Whether you are a feature film VFX artist, a game developer or a commercial studio, this new release brings you new and enhanced tools that will meet the most demanding production requirements. From faster, more flexible particle tools, to a new lighting workflow, to the adoption of open standards such as OpenEXR 2 and OpenSubdiv, Houdini 13 will increase productivity and allow for bigger more impactful VFX.
