Understanding Houdini and CG to an intermediate degree is expected throughout this course. Be sure to follow the pre-requisites if you find yourself overwhelmed or lost with what’s going on.
Taking Pyro to the next level is a difficult task which requires a deep understanding of Houdini tools, artistic sophistication, and intentional decisions which aid in time management. This course is the accumulation of 6 months of research and features methods that you won’t find anywhere else. The goal of this project-based course is to examine real-world reference, study its behavior, and replicate what we see through a wide variety of techniques. By the end, you’ll have the tools and methods which unlock just about any professional grade pyro effect.
This course will render with both Karma & Redshift. The Sparse and Axiom pyro solvers are primarily used throughout the course. You do not need Axiom or Redshift to follow along.

Warning:Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus, and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the installed app. Some of the materials posted here are grabbed from CGPeers, so it could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link (higher than 30% positive result).
