Ok
So I've read this thread
https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/43276/ [sidefx.com]

Watched this from start to finish
https://archive.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3085&Itemid=419 [archive.sidefx.com]

which is a great overview for creating a variety of game effects

As well as Peter Quints tutorial on creating a looping flame

What's very much needed (for noobs like myself) is a step by step procedure for creating a flipbook.

I know that I need to
1) create the effect
2) render out as a series of images
3) bring those image back into Houdini to create a texture sheet(using a Mosaic node I believe)

Can any houdini magicians help with #2 and 3 above? Looking for a tutorial that doesn't assume I know all the basics, like how to render fx sequences and how to bring images back into Houdini.

Not sure if this is what you need, but you can check out these 2 video.
