      Hi Huagling2000,

      The Lightning HDA is for download on our Patreon. We have a tutorial series that goes over how it is made as well. You can check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/NineBetween

    Hey everyone, if you are using a version later than 17.4.12, please adjust the following settings:


    -Keyframe dissipation on the pyrosolver to 0.7 at frame 1, 0.5 at frame 48 and remove the keyframe at frame 72.
    -Adjust boundary size on the smoke object to 8x8x12
    -Ensure sufficient padding on the gas resize (Padding of 4, and then 2x2x2 on both upper and lower scale or 8 on main padding alternatively).


    This should remove any issues with clipping and dissipation. The reason that this became an issue is due to a change in 17.4.12 where the following change was made: "A bug has been fixed in the smoke solver that affected simulations with animated timescales, cooling, and temperature diffusion rates. The solver works correctly in those regards now, meaning old simulations to which this change is relevant will produce different results." This resulted in keyframing not working as intended.
