SparkX is a Houdini asset that adds electric particle effects to Pyro, bringing powerful energy and excitement to your work, making every project feel more dynamic and alive.

• Simple UI and workflow
• Layers Setup support
• Particle Shape
• Built-in Electricity Effect
• Easy Pyro Color
• Driver Modes
• Adoption Color
• Auto Rest Simulation
• Internal Catching System
• Smart Visualization
• capable with DestructionX

Inputs:

• Input: it’s will take Curve,Mesh or VDB Fluid

General:

• Mode: live will apply the setting to simulation and catch will read from files simulation
• Time Scale: will apply to all solvers
• Substebs: will apply to all solvers expect Electricity
• Collision: define closed Geometry for better results
• Catch: this for version and path to store the catch and Auto Catch when enabled when user select catch mode will trigger simulation to catch

Generators:

• Every N Frame: it’s will trigger the simulation every N Frame or if you want single frame you can enable the Shot
• Hit Geometry: it’s will trigger a simulation when input hit the Geometry

Driver:

• Attribute: it’s will guide and apply force from this attribute
• Geometry: will aim towards that Target and Distance will determine how much close the area and var will apply randomness
• Surface: Will move the simulation along the surface and distance will apply randomness and if input is volume it’s will be pop Advection for particles

Particle:

• Behavior: Free will use POP network and Fluid will use Vellum Solver (you can control viscosity and surface tension)
• Speed: is Multiplier for Velocity
• Life: Total Age of particles in Seconds
• Shape Geometry: it’s will copy Geometry to the Particles
• Pack: Enable Pack for Efficient Copy
• Angle: Apply randomness to Rotations
• Size: Apply randomness to pscale
• Shape Trails: Apply Trail Sop to the particles and Length and noise will control the Generated Line
• Shape Beam: it’s will simulate magical effect and when particle is dense will apply more light
• Blurriness: will bring lonely particle together
• Falloff: ramp threshold for the color
• Pscale: will control size

Pyro:

• Behavior: fire will have flame and smoke with density field
• Voxel size & Particle Scale: Will control the field quality and size
• Disturbance: will add circle noise
• Turbulence: will add long wispy like noise
• Shredding: will add small noise
• Life: how much field should live in second
• Speed: basically a velocity multiplier
• Color Range: max color range field is for visualization purpose

Electricity:

• Amount: Total Number of Electricity element
• Growth: Growth speed (zero means no growth)
• Consistency: how much elements remains in Frame
• Length & Segments: controlling length and how much point line should have
• Angle: controls branches angles
• Thickness & Division: will apply poly wire to line using width attribute
• Sparks: will add flying lines to the sim using pop network

Forces:

• you can control Gravity by add -9.8 to the Y-Axis and apply wind force using Force Parameter and you can add pop force noise using Noise & Noise Scale Parameter and Air Resistance will pop Drag force

Color:

• Mode: Ramp will apply ramp color and Adoption will adopt from in put attribute
• Ramp: will apply color base on attribute relative to different element
• Density: basically a multiplier to the color
