This video shows one of the ways you could pack multiple pieces of information into a single texture.  The idea is to have more control over the look of an explosion…

Houdini 19 is out, and I've been exploring the new pyro effects and the systems already created from shelf tools.
It is so cool that you can create something complex with just a few clicks and tweaks.
In this tutorial, we will create a complex magic fire aura and power up, as you see in hero movies. In the end, we will see how you can render these effects with redshift. The main focus of this tutorial is to show you how to explore and edit systems from the shelf tools, learn with them, adapt and create something suitable for your project. This workflow can save you a ton of time, especially when you are in the concept phase. I hope you enjoy this tutorial!
