Particle Example - Disintegration using Pyro Source Spread

Posted on Mar 8  2024


Another method instead of attribute transfer is to use the pyro source spread node. Essentially setting some select points to a group and assigning a temperature value of 1 and running the pyro source spread. This was showcased in the Entagma introduction to some of the then new sparse pyro tools.
I have used this method in a "non-pyro" application often.





Below are two example files. The first shows the basic setup for a pyro source spread solver.
The second example is from a question that come up in class and Zach Jantz dove into the solver to create a modification to allow points to be added during the simulation, not just on the initial phase.
