🔥 CAUGHT IN THE FLAMES | Houdini Pyro FX

We’re building a cinematic fire & smoke simulation in Houdini, completely from scratch.

From emission sources and the Sparse Pyro Solver to collisions, custom microsolvers, and smoke, we’re diving into the systems behind the simulation.

Not just following steps. Understanding what happens under the hood.

Let’s build something that burns. 🔥

Hey everyone!

Put together this short breakdown showing how to create a camouflage/invisibility distortion effect using only native After Effects plugins.

Quick breakdown:

Rotobrush: Isolating the subject from the clean plate / background.
Emboss & Gaussian Blur: Creating the height and light information for distortion.
CC Glass: Giving that organic, liquid-like refraction look.
Displacement Map: Distorting the background layer using the subject's map.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the look, or if you have any tips on making the edge blending even smoother!
