2020 Collection

This shot was inspired by the upside-down tunnels in Stranger Things. The cave asset was modelled, textured and lit in Houdini. I strived to create a sense of depth within the cave using a variety of lights and shades of blue.

Above is a work in progress render of my final FX project at Rising Sun Pictures. I had an interest in exploring vellum as it is a relatively new tool in Houdini, therefore used vellum cloth to create the curtains and newspaper. Debris, dirt and dust particles were also added to the scene to create a sense of mystery and neglect. 

In this shot I worked on the smoke simulation using Houdini. I decided to go for quite a dense smoke with a slow dissipation rate and high disturbance.
