Applied Houdini是Steven Knipping所创作的一个产品级制作教学系列。Steven Knipping当前是卢卡斯影业工业光魔的资深刚体破坏/特效技术总监，参与制作的电影包括了《星际大战7部曲：原力觉醒》《复仇者联盟2》《明日世 界》。本教学教授了Steven Knipping所熟悉的成熟的制作流程，并且深入的研究了技术背后的原理。每个视频都包含了实用的信息与笔注，而不只是没来由的讲解。

在第二部分中，我们将快速跨越基础部分的东西。我们不是从一个静态的体积开始，而是动态的将紊乱的Density与velocity引入到模拟中。 接着我们会使用一系列的microsolvr来控制模拟，包括了turbulence，distrubance，diffusion，甚至将它们综合到一 起来得到更加高级的特效。最终我们会来讨论作用力，divergence，还有vorticity对造型的影响。当然，我们会首先讲解那些产品级制作的实 用技术，我还会与大家分享一些我最喜欢的技术与技巧。

Applied Houdini is a production quality oriented series created by Steven Knipping, currently a Senior Rigid Body Destruction / FX Technical Director at Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Tomorrowland). Benefit from production proven workflows while also getting an in depth explanation of why things works they way they do. Best of all - each video is crammed with actual information and footnotes instead of gratuitous talking and dead space!

In Dynamics II, we will immediately move beyond the basics. Rather than start from a static volume, we will dynamically source turbulent density and velocity into our simulation. From there we will control our simulation with a variety of microsolvers including turbulence, disturbance, and diffusion, and even combine multiples of these together for even more advanced effects. Finally, we will talk about the effects that forces, divergence, and vorticity will have on the shape of things. As always, production oriented techniques will take priority and I'll even share a few of my favorite tips and tricks to achieve quality results faster and more efficiently!
