Houdini Spaceship Launch – Optimized Grain + Smoke FX Setup (with Assets + Karma XPU Render)

A massive bomber spaceship rises dramatically from a pit of sand, complete with grains and smoke simulations.

This setup is carefully optimized for efficiency, so you can save both time and disk space on simulation caches—perfect for iteration and learning real-world FX workflows.

Whether you’re an FX artist looking for a solid starting point, a student building your reel, or just experimenting with Houdini’s power, this scene is a great way to study, customize, and render high-quality results fast.

What’s included:

Grains + smoke simulations with optimized caching

• Spaceship (bomber) model included
