Hi guys,

Newbie!
How would I create a particle sim that's instancing custom geometry which in turn transforms into a powder as the particle are poured? It would be grains that take the shape of the instances and then loosen to dissolve into powder.
I have an idea how to do it but lack the experience with houdini and I like the way the grains work. It would be great if I could put it all together somehow.
Thanks

PointsFromVolume will do it.

Here's Rohan's Vellum intro video that covers approximately what you're asking for.

Thanks Zoot. That is relevant. Feel like I'm coming to the houdini party about 20 years too late!
