Houdini: Primitive SOP for Disintegration and PolyFX
In this video, Liam covers the power of the Primitive SOP. Using its template capabilities, we can quickly make mograph style disintegration effects, or if you're coming from Cinema4D, a better PolyFX tool. This video does assume you have some basic understanding of Houdini, but is generally pretty beginner friendly. Also a big shoutout to MOPs (Motion Operators) that makes this process 100 times easier.
