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.
