Water Splashes on the Cheap (FLIP-Free) _ Nikolay Skolkov _ Houdini HIVE Worldwide

When you are pressed for time and you have to simulate water for a crowd of drowning survivors, you have to find a way to provide each survivor with their own unique splash. Sometimes when you don’t have the luxury of R&D iterations, you must consider cheaper but still effective solutions. In my case, the only solution for that was particles! I’m going to tell you how POPs saved the time for me.

Nikolay Skolkov has been creating visual content for many years, starting out with web graphics, flash scripting and animations and then moving over to 3D via architectural modeling. Nowadays, Nikolay spends his waking work hours at Wargaming in creating visual effects required on any given project, which encompasses many different areas. Most notably, this includes destruction, explosions, cloth simulations and FLIP fluids. Nikolay is based out of Minsk, Belarus and he will always have his node shapes as bricks, as he hates the custom shapes.

当您迫不及待地需要为一群溺水的幸存者模拟水时，您必须找到一种方法为每个幸存者提供自己独特的飞溅。有时，当您没有足够的R＆D迭代时，必须考虑更便宜但仍然有效的解决方案。就我而言，唯一的解决方案是微粒！我将告诉您POP如何为我节省时间。

尼古拉·斯科尔科夫（Nikolay Skolkov）多年来一直在创建视觉内容，从网络图形，Flash脚本和动画开始，然后通过建筑建模过渡到3D。如今，尼古拉（Nikolay）在Wargaming上度过了无聊的工作，为任何给定的项目（包括许多不同领域）创建所需的视觉效果。最值得注意的是，这包括破坏，爆炸，布料模拟和FLIP流体。尼古拉（Nikolay）来自白俄罗斯明斯克（Minsk），他讨厌节点形状，因此他的节点形状总是砖块。
