Hey, I'm a bit new with Houdini and need help with pyro sims. I watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8w2OND3rH0 [www.youtube.com] to improve, but I'm stuck. I can emit smoke, but I can't get flames to show up. I want to create a spell effect like the Killing Curse from Harry Potter. I added temperature as a source in the pyro solver, but the flames still won't appear. I've used pyro solvers before and can't figure out what's wrong.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi, try this:

In your example, go to "/obj/geo1/pyrobakevolume1", mark the "Fire" checkbox in the Fire tab.
In the tab "bindings/Fire, for intensity/color volumes choose "density" (your example only has v and density volumes there to use).

In summary you need to enable the fire and bind it to some volume.
