Free Houdini 19.5 HIP: Spaceship Rising from Desert Sand Grain Sim
Original title: 【Hipファイル配布】Shorts解説：砂漠から浮上する宇宙船 〜砂のシュミレーション〜 PART 1
Overview
This free Houdini 19.5 hip file comes from a Japanese YouTube channel devoted to USD and VFX pipeline explanations, accompanying a breakdown of a Shorts clip in which a spaceship rises out of desert sand. Part 1 covers the sand simulation setup using grains (Vellum/POP Grains), showing how the ship displaces and sheds the sand as it lifts off.
The hip files are shared through a Google Drive folder linked in the video, free to download. A good reference for granular sand effects interacting with a large moving object.
