Naiad and Houdini are same for me, i was running 92mil particles sim with 17gb of ram, display, playblst everything is fine. Yes use pixel display for particles its faster then points, and look better.
Last few sim i did everything in Houdini.

Hi hereacoon,
larikaram scene is realy great, you can learn a lot, for AOV you can read what AOV you have on pyro shader and use that in mantra render, and for RGB, this is simple setup using RGB lights, and for fire i used ramp with RGB color. On internet therre is a lot of setups like this for fume.
Play with this scene, try to play with source, tweak some parametars, run tests, compare….

Hmmm maybe Houdini is not one click solution, but with shelf setup you can do nice simulations.
1. Add sphere
2. Fracture
3. RBD sim
4. Use rbd sim as source
5. Pyro Explosion preset
6. Tweak source, like add curl vel…
7. Tweak shader
8. Render, PBR with ENV light
This is what i did here

I think resault is more less ok.

You don't need to use play.
You can use:
- dop import there is option to write files
- rop geometry same thing as dop import
- hbatch you can run scene from cmd.

container size to 1920,1920,1920 how much ram for that?
I think your problem is shader
you can see on my video same sim diffrent shader settings totaly diffrent look

Hi,
Depend of your mesh and scene you can try PeakSOP, and scale mesh after meshing. Sometime this can help a lot.

Smoke effects play a significant role in MIB3 and are featured in almost all of the 600 visual effects shots created by SPI for the film, including a memorable rocket launch sequence from Cape Canaveral in Florida. Creating computer generated (CG) smoke is a very labor-intensive process, requiring complex simulations that tie up expensive and valuable computer processing power. Theo Vandernoot is an effects supervisor at SPI and a longtime user of both Side Effects’ Houdini software and NVIDIA GPUs. He discovered that by using Houdini 12 (with improved GPU optimization) on an NVIDIA Maximus™-powered workstation, he could dramatically improve not only the speed of simulations by up to 10X, but also the quality of smoke generated in MIB3.
