Epic Car Destruction VFX In High-Speed Chase Sequence Made With Houdini

FX TD Will Wallace, with over 10 years of industry experience, focus on large-scale simulations and procedural destruction, and contributions to major productions like The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Stranger Things, has now launched an in-depth course on vehicle destruction in Houdini.

Will has shared a quick breakdown of the scene in the video below, however, if you want to learn more and create your own version, The CarFX course offers over 10 hours of training, along with a professionally built, fully rigged CG car.

The CarFX course covers suspension setup, metal deformation, constraint networks, solver tuning, and Solaris rendering (Karma). It also provides project files and a stripped-down car for follow-along. If you'd like to purchase the asset separately, there's an option to get the production car asset with high-res geometry with PBR 4K UDIM textures, a rigged 3ds Max scene with V-Ray shaders, a Solaris/Karma MaterialX shader setup, and assets in Alembic, FBX, OBJ, and Houdini formats, along with a detailed chassis and proxy geometry.

You can also grab the complete bundle to enjoy the full experience.
