keywords: pyro source spread node, particle surface node, polywire, connect adjacent pieces

These two animations were created using the Pyro Source Spread node. While studying the introduction of sparse pyro I saw Entagma's introduction

https://www.sidefx.com/tutorials/pyro-fx-spreading-fire

and the idea of using the pyro source spread node for "non-pyro" applications. I watched the first video above and updated to Houdini 18.5 using the same technique with either surfacing or connecting lines. Results shown below.
