Hi all, i'm new to houdini and have a question about balloon setup, i successfully constrained the balloon to the root of wires,

i have several problems here.

1. right now it works but not “correctly” constrained ( all balloons are constrained to point number 0 using apply relationship node , but it should be balloon1–>wire 1 point 0, balloon2–>wire 2 point 4 …)

2. how to constrain the tip of each wire to each balloon ?

3. in single balloon setup there is an offset between balloon and wire tip at frame 1, how do i create the wire so that the tip point is located at the balloon bottom ? and also how to use an object as wire root instead of origin, so the root can be animated ?

thanks

i'll study your file to learn.

i have another question here. i want my pyro explosion to collide with helicopter interior , basically i want fire and smoke coming out from the window. but right now it has a weird shape and goes to -x direction , why is this happening ?

i'm following cmi smoke tutorial, chimney uniform division already set to 200, why the smoke still penetrates the chimney after i apply a uniform force to the smoke ?
