The aerial barrage simulation sets up a sparse pyro simulation of a large scale aerial explosion. It consists of a main blast and long trails of density that fly out much further and faster than the main explosion, moving horizontally through the air.

Important Nodes ¶

add1

The add1 node controls the location of the explosion.

adjust_N1

This node controls the direction of the main explosion. It creates a normal attribute used inside the pyroburstsource1 node.

pyrotrailsource2

The pyrotrailsource2 node creates a trail_temperature VDB that is used in the shader to add fire to the tips of the density trails. This is controlled in the Secondary Fire tab in pyrobakevolume1.
