Udemy – Houdini Sand Timer – Modeling, Sand Simulation & Rendering

In this course, you will create a realistic hourglass (sand timer) from scratch, while learning practical techniques you can apply to any 3D project.

We’ll start by modeling the glass body and the simple wooden base, then move into creating and simulating falling sand inside the hourglass. You’ll learn how to set up caching for smooth playback and efficient workflow. Once the simulation is ready, we will enhance the scene with realistic materials, proper lighting, and finally render the complete project using Karma.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a professional, polished hourglass animation and a strong understanding of how to:

• Combine modeling, sand simulation, shading, and rendering in one project
• Use caching techniques to prepare simulations for final rendering
• Build a complete FX workflow inside Houdini

This course is designed for beginners and intermediate Houdini users who want a hands-on project that covers multiple essential skills. Even if you’re new to Houdini, you can follow along step by step and create your own stunning sand timer.
