012 - Pyro Explosion - Pt.1 Smoke
Added 2023-01-15 14:01:00 +0000 UTCIn this first part of this series, we'll create a smoke simulation using Houdini’s SOP level pyro solver. We’ll talk through using falloffs to affect our smoke. We'll also setup the font and talk about tips and tricks to get the font to work nicely.

2023-12-23 17:56:15 +0000 UTCYeah, which makes sense because you're telling it to stop sourcing after 12 frames. Which is another reason to use the solver method instead, like I show in the tutorial.

You will see that once I activate the frame range option in the solver, it only picks up the velocities within that range. I show the velocity vectors prior to running the sim so you can see there is data there.

2023-05-02 19:34:35 +0000 UTCYeah, it was super frustrating for me. I spent 3 hours dealing with MANY MANY MANY crashes. Eventually asked someone else to test the scene, no crash. So, sent in an RFE to sidefx and it was a GPU bug. Good to be aware of I guess (though, I'd like my 3 hours back please ;)).
