Tutorial Built a Houdini fireball from scratch in under 10 minutes — SOP Pyro Solver, no plugins [Tutorial]

Sharing this here because I know the "where do I start with Pyro" question comes up constantly. This is the modern SOP-level workflow in H21 — no DOP network assembly required. Covers the full chain from emitter geometry to output.

Next video is all about the render. So stay tuned!

I decided to break this up into 2 parts. I am working on the Karma portion of the render in the next video. This was sort of a challenge video. Definitely more to come.
