Free Houdini Scene: Ballistic Path RBD Setup (Houdinicrumbs HICko)

Overview

This Houdini scene comes from Houdinicrumbs' Korean video on a cost-efficient rigid body setup with the Ballistic Path node, inspired by the projectile shots of The Angry Birds Movie (2016). It shows how the Ballistic Path SOP generates parabolic trajectories with a time-on-target approach, so objects hit their target precisely before being handed to an RBD simulation.

The scene file is attached to a HICko Naver cafe post, free but for cafe members only, so a Naver account and cafe signup are required; the file name is not visible to non-members. It is a good reference for FX artists who want art-directable projectile motion in Houdini.
