INTRODUCTION TO PARTICLES I - FIREWORKS

Welcome to the 'Introduction to Particles' tutorial. In this course, we will create fireworks from scratch, starting with the basics of particle movement. We'll delve into controlling particle motion and their speed.            

Along the way, we will explore key attributes and learn how to use them to burst particles effectively. Once we have created a decent particle setup, we'll focus on look development, demonstrating how various attributes can be used to control color post-simulation. We will also consolidate the work of 10 nodes into one attribute, showcasing the advantages of using the Attribute VOP. Furthermore, we will explore Houdini 20's Karma XPU, setting up and executing renders, and even rendering technical AOVs for more control in compositing.            

Once rendering is complete, we'll move to NUKE for final compositing. Here, we'll learn how to utilize all technical AOVs to enhance the final look.
