Source: https://www.cgcircuit.com/course/the-ultimate-houdini-dops-gas-microsolvers-custom-forcesThis course dives deep into Houdini’s DOP (Dynamics Operator) framework, teaching you to build:
- Custom solvers using gas microsolvers
- Custom forces for smoke, particles, and FLIP
- SOP Solver systems to control complex FX like snow, lava, and water
No shelf tools. No shortcuts. This is a complete procedural approach to dynamic FX.
Who is this course for?
FX Artists
You want to move beyond shelf tools and gain full control over your smoke, FLIP, and particle simulations using custom solvers and forces.
Technical Directors & Pipeline Developers
You’re responsible for building reusable, scalable FX setups for teams or productions — and want to understand the internal workings of DOPs, gas microsolvers, and SOP Solvers.
Intermediate to Advanced Houdini Users
You’re already familiar with Houdini’s interface and basic DOP networks, and now you want to level up into building full procedural systems from scratch.
Game & Cinematic VFX Artists
You want precise control over simulations — whether you’re crafting stylized effects or hyper-realistic ones — and need tools that are both creative and efficient.
By the End of This Course You’ll Be Able To:
- Build your own gas micro solvers for smoke
- Create procedural forces for any type of simulation
- Control simulations with custom SOP logic
- Design and debug professional, procedural FX systems
- Build reusable HDAs for production use
- Render and showcase high-end simulation work

Hi, the file size of the parts are incorrect while downloading. It shows 5gb for each part but, when i tried to download part 1 it was downloading a 10gb files, while part 2 was downloading a 15gb file. Can you please check and see if the file was uploaded properly ?
it should be 5gb file.
Hi, i checked again and it shows just like i said. Part 1 shows a 10gb download, part 2 shows a 15gb download and part3 shows a 10gb download. I haven’t checked other parts but i think the upload is clearly corrupted as the sizes for the parts should be same for all the files except the last one, if it was a split archive. I have also attached the screenshots below so you can see the size it shows for download.

I request you to check again and reupload the files properly.
yes, it does looks like the files got corrupted.well i don’t have backup for them, so you might need to wait a little longer.
Thanks, i will wait for the update.
