Visual Effects 2: Project 2 - Houdini Pyro (WIP)

For this project, we were instructed to create a fire by using Houdini FX Pyro effects. This fire is very similar to the fire we made previously (last week) in Maya with Maya Fluids. However, we are just now working in a different software program.

For my project, I decided to create the effect of a house catching on fire. House fires generate a lot of thick, dark smoke and bright red, hot fire. The fire also emerges from  all areas of the house (windows, doors, roof, walls, ect.)

Here is the current WIP (work in progress) I have for this project. Obviously, it still needs a lot of improvement. However, I am really surprised at the effect I was able to achieve with this software program! The smoke looks extremely realistic to me, and the fire behaves like a real fire too. I will continue to work on this project for a nicely rendered out final project.
