xpan Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Hi! I'm pretty new here and haven't played around with Houdini too much. I'm doing these little explosions as a way of learning the software and then sending it to C4D which is my main 3D package to render and composite etc. I'm trying to fire out how to make my particles to emit smoke and can't figure out no matter what. I read many topics on this but the whole node based thing is pretty new to me. What I did in this attached scene was basically have a particle animation I liked and then clicked on 'explosion' from the pyro fx shelf. It seems to add all the necessary nodes but I don't see any smoke coming from the particles, only these rainbow colored trails. Sorry about my ignorance, I know this must be so simple but I'm really stuck. Any help is appreciated Thanks explosion2.hiplc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
