USING DOP, SOP AND VOP OPERATORS FOR DESTRUCTION EFFECT IN HOUDINI
Abstract
Visual effects is an important term for enhancing the imagery of a film or television series with the aid of computers. While special effects are physical and happen in the real world, visual effects are added afterwards digitally. This paper describes a process of obtaining destruction effect in Houdini. There are many other softwares that could be used, but what sets it apart is node-based environment that allows changes to be made at any time in any area of the pipeline, with little to no consequences.The implementation of destruction effect consists of two parts. The first one describes procedural modeling od stone model, by using VOP operations, and the second one it is about stone fragmentation, by using DOP and SOP operations. The goal is to serach advantages and disadvantages DOP, SOP and VOP operators when creating the effect.
