This was a small experiment to test out the axiom solver for pyrotechnics in Houdini, I wanted to recreate the scene from Dune (2021) of the Harkonnen Ship attacking the city of Arrakeen.

27 Missiles and 6 Explosion sims were used and instanced accordingly to create the final shot

Took about 3 days to render on Karma CPU using my 5950x

I hope to switch back to nvidia so I can retry this with Karma XPU down the road
