PyroFX 2 explosion:

I was playing around with some custom velocity for fuel emission + trying some stuff with the pyro shader.


And a FLIP fluids simulation render:

My goal for this render was to get down the render time ALOT, in the end the render time was 10 mins a frame for 1280x720.. theres also another 10 mins a frame for a seperate caustics pass.

about the explosion:
can you please give some detail on maximum grid size? Or maybe even on simulation and render settings?

Also could you talk a little about the caustic pass?

Sorry it was a while time ago, I deleted this project so I have more space for newer ones.. but I kinda know the render settings, I used a volume depth of 1, 3x3 pixel samples, stochastic transparancy 4 samples, and noise level was turned all the way down.

This way I got fast render times and nearly no noise!

Also could you talk a little about the caustic pass?

For the caustics I created a caustic light, set it to 10.000.000 photon count, I set my water mesh to photon target and for the light mask I created a spot light. Then I created a mantra node with 2x2 samples and in the objects tab, I used the ground, teapots, and tube for candidates and used the water for forced phantom object. In the candidate lights I only used the caustic light and and my caustic key light (spot light I was talking about earlier)

I hope this makes some things clear, be glad to awnser more questions..

stohastic transperancy? so you used PBR? I thought it only works with it

Stochastic Transparency works with raytracing and PBR. Just not micropolygon scan line rendering.
