Houdini 12.5

What you will learn
In this Houdini tutorial we are going to learn how to do custom Pyro FX in Houdini.

We will use the combustion model of the Pyro Solver and set up custom attributes to source fire and smoke simulations. We will get a good understanding of various shape tabs in the Pyro Solver and end the tutorial by putting everything we learned previously into a small practical example.
