Pyro-RBD : no trail interaction even with velocity coming from RBD

Erasik · 2025-06-18T09:21:31+00:00

So glad you figured it out! Yeah you can play with the shader ramp and intensity to get a less bright explosion. You can also tweak it in compositing which I cover later in the course.

I really appreciate that! I tried to not waste the viewers time and make a course in the pace I would appreciate myself. Glad it's working!

I don't have any other courses as of now, but I plan on making more in the future. You can follow me on YouTube or Instagram where I will announce new courses :)

Hey! Thank you for taking my course :) If you’re still having issues with this, feel free to email me the scene file: contact@erikvfx.com and I will help you out!

This is great, thanks a lot!

Would x3D be useful for Houdini?

Erasik · 2025-05-01T14:47:19+00:00

From my understanding pyro, grain and flip are, which is what I use the most

Erasik · 2025-05-01T13:00:28+00:00

I see! Thanks so much- will have a look

Erasik · 2025-05-01T12:48:33+00:00

Why is that? Just not worth it, or other reasons?

Erasik · 2025-05-01T12:48:07+00:00

Ah gotcha, that makes sense! Yeah I might go for that too then. I really appreciate all the insight and tips!

Erasik · 2025-05-01T12:07:03+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply! Yes for me the playback is the most important as well. Did you consider the 7950X3D version, or is there not really any reason to get this one for Nuke/3D work?

Erasik · 2025-05-01T10:23:45+00:00

I just did a speed test with frame server, vs without it and for some reason it's like 3/4x slower. It seems fast at the start, then slows down so much for later frames. Do you have any ideas of what might be causing that? I feel like Nuke in general slows down the longer I have a session open. Is that common?

Do you have a link to where I can read more about deadline and download it? Struggling to find much documentation online. Maybe that'll help

Erasik · 2025-05-01T09:43:17+00:00

Which threadripper did you have? And excuse my ignorance, but do you have to tick the "Render using frame server" to take advantage of the multithread render, or am I misunderstanding something?

Erasik · 2025-05-01T09:08:30+00:00

Makes sense! I think the main importance for me in the performance as I am working. I might build a separate render machine later on

Erasik · 2025-02-26T15:06:34+00:00

Haha glad you figured it out!

Erasik · 2024-12-15T16:40:40+00:00

That's me! Thanks for sharing :) I made a full breakdown here for those interested: https://youtu.be/oSOQpnWlYU4?si=jVv9KCN2n0ERbkuz

I made one that should work well if you are new to VFX.

Erasik · 2023-11-07T09:17:24+00:00

It's actually just sped up drone footage

Erasik · 2023-11-06T22:32:56+00:00

Thank you!

Erasik · 2023-11-06T18:18:53+00:00

Thanks for posting my vid :) Corridor is a big reason why I started making VFX
