A look inside the solvers
Houdini solvers and other systems usually feel like black boxes. Here they are taken apart one node at a time, using layouts and parameters captured from the software and simulations that run right in the page.

HOUDINI · FLIP SOLVER
A look inside the FLIP Solver
All 294 nodes of the liquid solver, laid out as in Houdini and explained.
HOUDINI · PYRO SOLVERA look inside the Pyro Solver
The 124 nodes behind smoke and fire: combustion, buoyancy and pressure.
HOUDINI · VELLUM SOLVERA look inside the Vellum Solver
The 271 nodes behind cloth, wire and grains, and how constraints are solved by iteration.
