MOVFX shares this free Houdini .hiplc file for a jet fire effect, an afterburner-style flame. The video description gives no technical detail, so the setup is presumably Pyro-based, and the tags mention sparks…
View Project
RMA FIRE provides this free Houdini project file with part 1 of the Vellum stretch goo tips. The setup uses pin-to-target constraints on Vellum cloth with custom color ramps driving stretch stiffness, so a gradient…

TWA 후디니의 정석, a Korean Houdini channel, shares this free Houdini file as a problem-and-hint exercise on making two differently coloured smoke volumes mix naturally.
View Project
RMA FIRE provides this free Houdini project file from a tutorial on pyro advection. It drives POP particles with the velocity of a Pyro simulation to add dust and debris variation or wispy, smoke-like particle behavior…
View Project
RMA FIRE shares this free Houdini project file from a tutorial on Vellum struts. The struts constraint setup deforms arbitrary geometry into odd, abstract shapes, and the video covers the key parameters for controlling…
View Project
Houdinicrumbs (HICko) shares this free Houdini setup for deforming a pyro simulation onto an animated character. The pyro is simulated inside a rest-pose character, then deformed to follow the animated character with…
