Houdini + Redshift - Boiling Water Tutorial

IMPORTANT:

Lots of people have been asking me questions on how I did certain stuff for my boiling water sim, and I got some requests to do a tutorial on it.

Recording a tutorial and building everything from scratch would have been a VERY long video, so i decided to do a project breakdown, where I go through the projects to show the stuff I did.

It's a 2 hour video, so grab a cup of coffee while you're at it ;)

I've written out single frame cache files for all the render objects so you can follow along with the shading/rendering part of it. Simulation cache files are missing as that's close to 140gb.
