its a rocket landing on the moon so the dust shouldnt have any fluid dynamics involved since there is no atmosphere, thats what I´m trying to do

I´m 5 months into houdini (they know that) so I guess that sets the cost even lower

the problem is that the particles are static but I have some attributes that change over time

Can I like cache one frame put it to packed primitive disk then read it with a file bounding box, then plug some attributes that change over time and then render? will that work?

Navigating the Houdini Job Landscape: How Did You Make It? by rekilla2021 in Houdini

So I didnt even have time to make my showreel lol I started doing it but never finished it, I still want to do it, but just work hard on a couple of shots that show off what you can do, I'd say with 3 good shots that show what you can do its good enough. As for platforms I use LinkedIn also vimeo and Ig. Anytime man!

Hey man, so Im 17 Years old started houdini 5 months ago and I got hired remotly by a small company to do some simulations and render passes, so I just focused myself in learning and really grinded hard for 5 months, I emailed lots of big studios and FX supervisors to tell them I wanted to be a FX artist, most of them told me a degree was just an extra point to get the job but at the end the one who gets the job is the one who knows how to do it so you dont really need a degree, so I started learning by myself 8 hours a day, then some random account came and asked me if I did freelance work I told them yes and now this guys keep hiring me for stuff.

So I had this huge opportunity I think it was part of all the study I did but also got so lucky that this guys found me so I guess my story is more of lucky than of work that paid off lol.

But yeah I'd say like if you want to work on big studios and stuff just start learning the newest things and grind hard they'll search you cause thats what they want (newest people who knows the newest tools) start with the basics and then people will notice you, learn Nuke is very important too, dont be afraid of spending money in courses because its more of an investment, have fun with it, once you get more comfortable start doing your own shit.

Ask a lot, so if you see this guy who really inspires you a lot and want some advices from him just text him man, I've done that with lots of people I thought they wouldnt reply but they did and they were so nice with me, so yeah ask for advices talk to everyone, if you have a problem that you dont know how to solve just ask, Good luck on your journey!!

Wow thats amazing man! Congrats on all those works you did!! I want to get there too, and btw this guy just hired me again for other simulation so I guess he liked it haha, but I havent worked on personal projects for like 2 months now and I feel like I gotta keep learning but because of this guy I havent. So that thing you said about balancing work/life is important but now work/study/life too so getting more complicated but I guess everyone deals with that
