And here's the beta disclaimer: This article was written before the release of H19.5, so something may have changed.. Rigid Body Dynamics - RBD It's getting down to the nitty gritty! RBD is what Houdini is best known for - rigid body simulations. Usually, but not always, to break something. Many of the RBD nodes have been given a tidy new user interface. The parameters are now organised in logical tabs and panels. Rarely used parameters have been "hidden" so that they are not in the way and distracting. Even more important, however, is the new workflow. Parameters should no longer be set in the solver but in separate "Configure" nodes (e.g. "RBD Configure"). Import and export nodes have been have been adapted to each other and are structured in the same way as the I/O nodes of other solvers, for example the Pyrosolver. The other I/O improvements are not so obvious, as they are more about speed improvements under the bonnet and better handling of inputs and outputs.
