New tutorial out! Better pyro control in Houdini. Available on our youtube channel

One common issue with continuous emissions is velocity buildup. Over time, simulations can become overly aggressive and harder to art direct. In this tutorial, I break down a simple but powerful technique to counter that behavior.

You’ll learn how to:

• Prevent unwanted velocity accumulation in pyro sims
• Use Gas Damp as a counter-force to gradually remove excess motion
• Maintain cleaner, more controlled fire and smoke behavior while preserving your source

This is a quick, practical tip that can make a big difference in how predictable and directable your simulations feel.

Last day for Cinematic Ocean FX in Houdini 🔥

Build epic ocean simulations from the ground up in Houdini.

Learn everything needed from the basics of volumes, building custom flip solvers, to shaping waves, directing splashes, and combining it all to create powerful cinematic water FX shots.

Last 3 days for Cinematic Ocean FX in Houdini:

• Master FLIP Fundamentals
• Art direct whitewater
• Properly mesh fluids
• Advanced control (density, divergence, viscosity)

Now is the best time to enroll

Avoid treating viscosity in FLIP as a constant.

By introducing temperature-based viscosity, you can vary how your fluid behaves across the simulation.

Hotter areas → more fluid and energetic
Cooler areas → thicker and more resistant

This gives you much more control over motion:
• Sharper or softer splashes
• Controlled energy dissipation
• Better contrast between calm and turbulent regions

It’s a simple change, but it can completely shift how believable and art-directable your sims feel.

Better FLIP sims are about control, not adding more detail. We can break it in 3 different factors that control overall motion:

• Air incompressibility → more stable motion

• Varying density → different behavior across the sim

• Divergence → added energy and expansion

Small changes, big impact on realism.

Realistic whitewater isn’t one effect, it’s layers.

• High splash - fast, energetic spray
• Dense foam - surface weight and buildup
• Wetmap - interaction with the environment

Separating these gives you way more control and more believable sims.

Just launched: Cinematic Ocean FX in Houdini

A 17+ hour deep dive into creating cinematic ocean simulations, splashes, and large-scale water effects, focused on understanding and control.

Learn how to:
• Build a FLIP solver from scratch
• Art direct whitewater, foam, and spray
• Properly mesh fluids for clean, production-ready results
• Render in Karma, Solaris, & much more.

Go beyond the black box and take full control of your
simulations.

Launch discount available until April 10
