When should one use Flamefront Container vs. Pyro Container? I don't know what Houdini means when it uses the term “flamefront.” Can anyone enlighten me on this?


Thanks.

Hi!!

Look at this great Masterclass http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1422&Itemid=344 [sidefx.com]

When i need finer control over the shapes of the flames i use Flamefronts (are a little more complicated), but if the effect is a explotion or fast moving flames without much detail i go with Pyro.

Just watched the whole thing. Wow…. that probably is the most painful tutorial video I've seen on this site (yet). It was purely a powerpoint presentation that's 30 minutes long. I kind of wished it had some “real-time” video. Nonetheless, it was better than nothing.
