Presentation

MPM - Tasty mixture
DescriptionWe going to look into advances made in MPM solver, new SOP tools and workflows around it and also improvements in Karma XPU and Solaris.

Main focus will be on the multiple material types interactions in MPM solver, two way interaction and material transitions. Solids and liquids working together, surface tension, plasticity, emission expansion, all at once.

We going to prepare tasty hot drink from cookies, milk, sugar, coffee and caramel. Showcasing multiple simulations setups, different approaches and gotchas with different material types in MPM.

Meshing MPM sims is a breeze with the new Neural Surface SOP. Will showcase helpful tips how to utilize it to our advantage.

Every shot will be exported to USD and assembled in Solaris for rendering with Karma XPU. We will look into new Whitewater XPU shader, motion blured volumes, volumetric specular, new rendering properties and AOVs.

This presentation goes trough whole spectrum of Houdini tools to create final spot.
