Simulation time of primary sim (54 million particles): Ship model: Prometheus from Simon Formanski on Also, let me know if some of you would like to have beta access to the solver before it's officially released. Please let me know in the comments if you would like this solver to be released as a Houdini plugin or similar.

I was kind of surprised by the number of people interested in the capability of my current prototype. In this case, it was just a check box :). If you are an FX TD, you know how tricky this kind of setup can become. This example highlights the sticky collider feature, where snow will stay stuck to the ship because of friction.

I also added a secondary layer of simple ballistic particles simulated in Houdini to help with scale, which is 99% of what I used for the avalanche. Just kidding, of course! Only another simulation done with my ML/GPU-accelerated MPM solver: a spacecraft breaching through a thick layer of snow. Did you know that Prometheus was initially supposed to take place on a planet covered with snow!? Here is one of the tests they did back then.
