Overview ¶
Creates a large explosion rising from the selected object.
Tip
The 
Sparse Fireball tool on the Sparse Pyro shelf will give you similar results with a faster solve time.
The resolution (Divisions) of the mushroom cloud’s pyro box is low to begin with. As you play with the parameters and start to get the motion you want, increase the Divisions to get more detail.
On the 
Pyro solver node…
-
Use the Smoke amount to control the amount of secondary smoke.
-
Use the Heat output parameter to make the plume rise faster.
-
Use the Gas released parameter to influence the size of the plume.
-
Use the Shredding controls to rip the streaks apart.
-
Use the Disturbance and Turbulence controls to add detail or change motion.
See how to use the pyro tools.
Tips ¶
-
If the object has a velocity point attribute (
v), the
Volume Rasterize Attributes SOP will
create a velocity volume for the simulation.To add velocity attributes to the object, use the
Point Velocity SOP. -
Use the disturbance and turbulence controls on the Pyro Solver’s Shape tab to add detail or change motion.
-
Use the settings on the object’s
Pyro Source and
Attribute Noise SOPs to change the emission.
