In this online course, you will go beyond the basics of using the new Sparse Pyro solver to create detailed fluids simulations like smoke, dust and fire while working on several very detailed tutorials, including a collapsing building emitting dust trails and a huge dust cloud.
After watching this tutorial, you can expect to be extremely comfortable creating fluid simulations in Houdini 18, not only for destruction effects but for almost all purposes. You will have a solid understanding not only of the new Pyro Solver node but you will also be able to create your DOP Networks from scratch, as well as creating shaders and rendering your simulations.
