Collision geometry fundamentals

“

- [Narrator] Now we're going to take a look at the concept of colors and geometry. And this is a large topic in and of itself and actually I have another course in the library called Houdini Dynamics and Simulation that I would recommend doing after this course that goes into a lot more detail about dynamic simulations like this. But I'm going to give you an overview of the concept while we're here. So we're going to go into our RBD sim and let's just go up just to the upper node here on the upper left, just the wall. So let's just look at that. I'm going to hit Escape, I'm going to hone our view and just go in here. You can see obviously we have this simple hexagonal geometry, but what I'm going to do is under the bullet data tab here. And what bullet represents here is just basically the code library that's been implemented in Houdini that handles a lot of the rigid body dynamics. This is a code library that's used in a lot of different software, it's really phenomenal. So what…
