Code / downloads Houdini scene files and tools
User Guide / Instructions: Help file incorporated on the tools with separate demo scenes part of the downloads
A compilation of the various manipulations I did using my volume attribute transfer tools and the solvers and microsolvers in Houdini's dynamic context.
Setting a tree on fire by spreading the fuel field through the branches and applyint temperature.
Setting fuel on fire that was defined by a helix curve. Purple is fuel, yellow is heat and white is density resolting from combustion.
Using particle collisions to trigger fuel and heat emissions combined with a high initial velocity that is sampled from the normal of the collision surface.
The density and tangent velocity fields for used to modify the velocity.
Using the tangent vectors of a helix curve to modify the velocity field.
Merging colors together through diffusion of a custom color vector field and making the red colors rise quicker by driving the temperature with the red color value.
Diffusing the custom color field and adding a vortex force to make the red and blue smoke swirl around each other.
