Masterclass: RBD-Related Features in Houdini 17

The video begins with constraints — soft constraints, along with some useful new options in Glue Constraint.

The developer then discusses SOPs — Convex Decomposition — plus useful utility SOPs like Extract Centroid, Extract Transform, and new options for Attribute Promote when working with RBD objects.

“The last topic will be the new Fracturing tools, including Voronoi Fracture 2.0, new Boolean Fracture SOP, and the higher-level RBD Material Fracture toolset introduced in the latest release.”
