In this session, I continue off with the Vellum examples and we finally get to talk about Soft Skin! This is probably the most useful technique I love about Vellum in Houdini. It's very handy and can be applicable in so many different scenes and geometries. I'll show you how you can use Vellum to create baggy skin for your character, stack up scoops of ice cream, and create flat tires.

Using FEM simulation to destroy a car & faking the FEM interaction with RBD. Here I go over RBD vs FEM destruction and compare between the different techniques for used for destruction. What FEM Destruction can destroy and cannot break apart? When to use FEM for destruction?

Vellum Grains colliding with animated RBD Object. Only colliding grains are activated in the simulation to optimize and create less chaotic effect. I then take this scene further by adding an animated Soft Body Vellum Object into the Vellum Grains simulation.
