Pop Particles Portal (PPP)

This was my first experience with Pop particles and of course i had to try doing the Doctor Strange portal.

Everything was worked on in Houdini apart from the assets which i got them from the internet.

Breakdown

All the Compositing was worked in Nuke. 

Here's a little breakdown of my work from comp layers to my three simulations.

Zombie Crowd Issues

This was the project i had most fun with (probably has something to do with running over some zombies). 

Simulations were done in Houdini by myself with the help of internet assets once again.

Breakdown

All the Compositing was worked in Nuke (once again).

As you can see i did two ragdoll sims, the most obvious one with the car running over the crowd agents and a small deatil i wanted to add was to throw some crowd agents from the building.

It may not be that visible in the shot but i quite like it.

Pyro Skull

This is my most recent Project i've worked with. 

I got the idea from Harry Potter and the scene in London where this skull appears in the sky, as a first time working with Pyro im proud of my result although i was limited by my pc and couldn't add more quality  as i worked it in real scale ( it's about 25m the skull).

Breakdown

For this project i started by the clouds.

First i tried doing small clouds and scattering them throughout the scene, but it didn't seem to work as the voxel quality was really bad and i couldn't improve it, so finally i decided to do a big size cloud and scatter much less.

For the skull i drew curves along the face to find the look i wanted and played with the velocity to contrast the smoke going backwards.

Lastly i animated my emmiter through a curve  and started emmiting smoke from it changing the scattered points from it with a point jitter.

Thankyou this was my contest entry i hope you liked it!
