Pirate Flag Burning FX - Houdini Project Files

🔥 Burning Pirate Flag FX — Houdini Vellum + Karma Render Project

Houdini FX Project File

This is the full Houdini project file from my YouTube tutorial showing how to create a dramatic burning pirate flag using cloth simulation, fire FX, and procedural shading — all rendered with Karma.

Perfect for learning how to simulate realistic cloth behavior with Vellum, control fire interactions on animated geometry, and build cinematic-style renders directly inside Houdini.

What's Included:

✅ Complete Houdini scene with the pirate flag setup
✅ Vellum cloth simulation and constraints
✅ Fire FX setup with sourcing, shading, and volume control
✅ Karma-ready render setup with lighting and materials
✅ Optimized scene for study, customization, and portfolio work

This file is ideal for FX artists and Houdini users who want to study the setup in depth, experiment, or use it as a starting point for their own work.

🎓 The full course is available for free on YouTube – this is just the paid project file for those who want direct access to the Houdini scene.
