Particles Part 03 - The Principle Of Particle Simulation

After two episodes with practical examples it's time for some theory. In this episode I'll show you how a POP solver does force and velocity integration to simulate the particles. Equipped with this knowledge we build a custom POP solver with wrangles and show that it creates the exactly same results as the inbuilt POP solver. Although I know that theory lessons probably aren't the most populart ones I hope you enjoy this one anyways. As the setups will get more complicated later in the course this fundamental knowledge will come in very handy later on. 

Attached you'll find the demo file. Inspect it on your own to see how Euler's method approximates particle movement. The wrangle based POP solver ist attached, too.

I love it! Thanks for the explanation!

Lucas Sanches Joao

I was genuinely shocked at the end to see both particle streams identical. Mind blown from this one. Connecting the theory to the little demo at the end was a great learning exercise. Well done!

Thomas Roohan

Really great to understand how these things we use everyday really work under the hood. Great stuff Manuel!

Thank you, Manu ! πŸ™

Jindrich_Novak

Thank you for this Manuel! The theory tutorials are some of my favorites. Please keep them coming!

Emilio GS

Love the theory and deep β€˜under the hood’ tutorials! I feel like those do the most to level up my houdini skills rather than just a specific trick or technique

Goldwaters

This is great info right there! Now I know how it works. Cheers for that

Jānis Čudars

To be honest I don't know...

Entagma

Now I'm looking at it and thinking about kinda completely unrelated thing - it is possible to create recurrent artificial neural network using only basic Houdini nodes, isn't it?

Az Ainamart

More "dry" demos, please! I've been waiting years for someone to present the integration step so clearly. Please do a demo on airresist.

Francisco Rodriguez

Excellent; concise and well presented! I wish my math and physics classes in school had been this captivating and practical. Keep up the great work

Hans Palacios

This is supergood! Thanks

GrayNode

Thank you for the tutorial Manuel! Having those curves right next to the math formulas was a really cool way of learning about it.
