LukeLetellier Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone, To get a better understanding of how a smoke simulation works, I wanted to try & make the standard smoke setup from scratch rather than use a shelf tool. I built a simple logo reveal in C4D, with the intention of pouring smoke out of two pipes. I exported that via Alembic, and imported it into Houdini. I've gotten to the point where I feel like I have all the correct nodes in place & hooked up, with all the settings where they should be, but no smoke is being generated. It's an incredibly simple setup, but I'm missing a key piece somewhere - and even after comparing it node-by-node to another setup that works, I can't seem to find the problem. The source file is attached, and the alembic is linked to below. I've organized the file to make it easier to look through. Any help would be appreciated! https://www.dropbox.com/s/0pcdlptp9tcic9j/Forge_05.abc?dl=0 Thanks!
