Houdini tutorial: RBD hinge and switching constraints

Hi, my name is Sander Jansen and over the years I've watched a lot of tutorials of all kind. So I thought it is time to make my own contribution. In this first Houdini tutorial I like to demonstrate how to deform a metal object in an Rigid Body Simulation. The gate is just an example but it can be applied in a wide range of applications where metal like materials are involved. I hope you'll find it interesting. Please let me know what you think. Thanks! 0:00 Intro 0:13 Prepared geometry explanation 3:54 Constraint setup preparation 9:18 Hinge constraint setup 24:47 DOP Network creation 30:22 Setup constraints in DOP 35:12 Gate deformation setup 52:16 High res geometry replacement 59:21 Nodes overview
