Houdini is HIP - Part 14: Flip Fluids I 

It's a pleasure, I'm glad you're finding them worthwhile :D

You're welcome, not a problem at all!

Wow, that means a lot! Thank you for watching☺

No problem, you're welcome! I used Krita for that. It's a free drawing app. I just threw a chalkboard texture on there for the background and chose a chalk type brush. I also have a drawing tablet that integrates with it. I hope that helps😁

Burn is needed for fire. If you dont need fire ( just smoke ) you dont need burn. Burn is a field, which is an attribute for pyro. Go get gnomon' pyro tut, lecturer is alasgar hasanov. That is a good one and still quite up to date workflow wise

No problem, you're welcome! So, firstly, ensure that the file cache node is set to "load from disk". There's a checkbox that you can tick to make sure it is loading from disk. Additionally, it is dependent on the speed of the drive that you're loading from. If it's an HDD, it will load slower. If it's an SSD or an NVME, it will load faster. Your PC specs seem more than sufficient, so just make sure that you are loading from disk. Let me know if you're still having that problem👍

hey should i buy 32gb ram or 64?? @@NineBetween

Hey! It's quite a specific request, but I'll try to include it into one of these Flip parts :)

I love your tutorials, the way you explain things is so good and easy to understand really :D

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. In the two volumes videos I explain how it works. I'll go over it quickly here so you don't have to go find it: The particle scale is set to a default value of 1. This means that each particle is treated as a sphere with a diameter of 1 unit. This causes massive volumes because each point is effectively a large sphere. The value should reflect the size of each particle. 0.05 is just a decent value for the scale of our scene, but it's okay to go higher or lower. Additionally, if the points being rasterized have a pscale value, then Houdini multiplies the pscale value by the particle scale value. eg. if a particle has a pscale of 0.1 and the particle scale is 2, then the resultant scale will be (0.1*2) or 0.2. I hope that helps!

Thanks a lot @@NineBetween its amazing the way you explain things really, thanks a lot for taking the time to explain this :D And thanks for sharing your experience

Hey, there's no significant difference. In fact, the newer workflows encourage SOP level solving. By doing it at the SOP level, it removes a layer of separation in some way. It allows data to more easily flow from the dopnet into the rest of the network. Again, it isn't a major difference, but if you prefer separating your dopnet out to the object level, you can. I hope that helps😁

Thank your ​@@NineBetweenthat does. I'm new to Houdini so it's a lot to take in
