I can't wait to try my hand at this one.

Thank you

Hello
this is an amazing tutorial and I followed it closely. I'm a noob to Houdini so I'm learning through tuts, I would like to see if you would be kind enough to give me a tip to extend this logo tut.
I would like to transform the grains into a viscous fluid but I have no idea where to start. I have placed a particle surface node that gives a surface that kind of does it but it has no fluid attributes that I can use, and the surface keeps jittering and bouncing.
If you could give me just the direction to take I would be really grateful.
Merci
Alain

Thank you for your kind comments. I have tried turning grains into fluid but ended up with the same result as yours. Glitching and jittering. Right now I don't have a stable workflow for grains to fluid. However if you are looking for melting effect there's a shelf tool in houdini you can try as a starter. Hope that helps

[@filipstamate1564]

Just a question if you don't mind. Would it have been possible to use the grain sim as the collider for the fire, since it already has the necessary shape?

[@resilientpicture]

Yes, definitely. Could have been better I suppose. You can try it and let me know how that went. 🙂

[@filipstamate1564]

@@resilientpicture Ah, sorry, the intention wasn't to correct you. It was just a question that popped into my mind. I'm very new to Houdini, I probably couldn't figure out how to do it on my own yet.
Thanks for the tutorial!

[@resilientpicture]

That's ok. No apologies necessary. This is how I learn too. 🙂 Asking questions to myself mostly. 😁 It's actually a cool idea. You maybe able to use vdb from particles and use that as a collider. Maybe it'll work. I ended up not using collider at the end of the tutorial.

these do not work with axiom 2 guys so don't buy the program like i did. wasted $100

[@resilientpicture]

Hi, I just double checked and ran the sim again on both part I and Part II with latest axiom version as off today which is 2.2 and they work fine. I am not sure what issues you are having. However, I would like to point out that the tutorial is merely a guide, since the updates happen frequently the methods that are depicted in this tutorial are based on the version available when I recorded this tut. The projects files are here resilientpicture.gumroad.com/l/xqWjN which I update if I find any issues, Since I did these tests, i'll upload these files soon there.
