This course, from professor and VFX artist Liam Whitehouse, covers how to create detailed pyrotechnic explosions using Houdini, Axiom, and Karma XPU in Solaris.  Creating detailed pyro explosions has been one of the key strengths of Houdini for many years but Axiom aims to improve that further by allowing artists to leverage the GPU entirely to complete very high detail explosions and smoke simulations. These simulations work with other Houdini systems including the pyro burst tool, pyro trails tool, and of course setup of the shots with Solaris and speedy rendering with Karma XPU. This course will cover all these aspects and more and is ideal for anyone wanting to learn about pyro explosion simulations in Axiom and Houdini.
