不论似乎喷火的龙，还是简单的篝火特效，数码火焰特效是电影与电视中一些最重要的元素，对于很多VFX艺术家来说，这是一个关键性的技能。在本教学中你将会学习到Houdini强大的Pyro solver的基本概念。首先，你会学习使用工具架工具来得到初始的模拟，并且检验那些组成烟火模拟的各个部分。

接着你将使用这些基本构件模块来创建你自己的篝火特效，当你探索solver中不同的sourcing解决方案与修改其不同区域的各种方法的时候，增加额外的复杂度。接着你会使用你所学到的东西来创建更加复杂的龙喷火的特效，进一步的探索sourcing方法与Pyro solver的能力。最后，你会研究如何输出数据与使用Pyro Shader来创建照片级的Mantra渲染结果。

Whether it's flame-breathing dragons or a simple campfire, digital fire effects are some of the most important elements in film and television, and a key skill for many VFX artists. In this course, Introduction to Houdini Pyro, you'll learn the fundamental concepts of Houdini's powerful Pyro Solver. First, you'll learn the shelf tools to get an initial simulation started and examine the individual parts that make up a Pyro simulation.

Next, you'll learn how to use these building blocks to create your own campfire effect, adding additional complexity to the simulation as you explore different sourcing solutions and ways to modify the various fields that are part of the solver. Then, you'll adapt what you have learned to create a more complicated dragon breath effect, further exploring new sourcing methods and capabilities of the Pyro solver. Finally, you'll explore how to export your data and use the Pyro Shader to create photo-realistic Mantra renders of your fire.

By the end of the course, you'll have a better understanding of the tools necessary to light anything imaginable on fire...digitally, of course.
