Soft Body Burning - Houdini Tutorial

Re-upload at 60 fps and with some audio fixes.
Tutorial on how to burn Vellum objects, have a pyro spread and pyro sparse solvers inside the same dopnet.
The whole tool is less than 60 nodes and 10 line of Vex, scale great with higher resolution objects and I recommend caching everything separately so you can up-rez it after.
I used this tool to create the leaf tool in my Demo Reel 2021 : • DEMO REEL - EDMOND BOU...

Hey! Thanks for the awesome tutorial! Unfortunately I cant access the vex code inside the sopsolvers because it is locked. Any idea on how to get around this issue? Thanks in advance!

[@EdmondBouletGilly]

Hey, what moment of the video are you referring to ? Usually most nodes in houdini can be opened using right click and 'Allow Editing of Contents'.

[@karo_dr1p_fx]

@@EdmondBouletGilly thanks for the quick reply! unfortunately this option doesnt exist for me. maybe it's because im using the steam version of houdini indie. thanks anyway! i did figure it out though. I used a geometry wrangle inside the vellumsolver to emulate the same thing which worked out fine:)

[@user-mo1mi7uf7z]

The step at 7:17 didn't work for me, the object mask set to "1" didn't import anything. Any idea what might cause this?

[@EdmondBouletGilly]

hey that number correspond to the input order of merge1 you see at 6:30, maybe your connection order is different ?

[@VFXChannel-hk6ec]

@@EdmondBouletGilly it's not working for me either, I tried 0, 1, 2 etc,.
