Tower Collapse

I made this this semester for my Effects class at university. I used Houdini to build the tower and hilltop, and to simulate the destruction and dust. I assembled it all in Maya using cosmos assets for the foliage and textures. Rendered in Vray.
The effect was heavily inspired by https://youtu.be/-JWEXzsNXMo?si=8fMUQkw3HXVogRxl this piece by Artichoke on YouTube.
Additionally, I used modified tutorials by Houdini on building a procedural house https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXNFA1EysfYnxvrW27g6e5HhTwKBM2TZC&si=kBhShLvc5b8YK0T9, and a really useful tutorial by Pizola for the dust https://youtu.be/Wa8Yus4LdLw?si=DkK7Jc-OTT4TaQX8
