BRIDGE DESTRUCTION RBD FX

A breakdown of a bridge destruction shot from my 2025 FX reel, inspired by the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse. This setup features procedural terrain generation using heightfields, RBD and debris sims, smoke sim using Houdini's native pyro solver, vellum sim for the bridge cables, and FLIP and whitewater simulations. Huge thanks to FX Supervisor Albert Szostkiewicz for his mentorship and guidance! Created in SideFX Software Houdini, rendered with Karma XPU, and composited in Foundry Nuke.
