FINAL SUBMISSION

I wanted to create an attack like dr strange against thanos but in blue

Tried a different final attack, this time it's an explosion inspired by  I'm still working on it. sim size 39gb. I dont know if I'm going to keep the explosion or use the lightning blast attack/ 

references 

First final version

New update I will try to add rbd + characters later

Some tests I did for the final attack. I want to create an explosion similar to Doomsday attack in batman vs superman.

Hello this is my latest update. I added the second bubble barrier and an explosion. I also added smoke, sparks, ember to the scene. Everything was rendered at 16 samples on my laptop.  I had to resimulate the explosion because the first version had a glitch at the end. 

  I uploaded the final result in high definition on mega. Please follow this link to download the video :

These are tests and breakdowns for the particles and explosion. Youtube compress the video in a weird way it looks very bad.

some tests, I don't like the result  

Testing different variations, my favorite version is the one when the energy is mixed with nebula, it's unique, it's beautiful, it reminds me of the 2 aliens who can change to ebulae galaxy whenever they want  in the movie  men in black 

My simulatioons. I always make sure to not go beyond 100k voxel to keep the sims size below 5gb. I'm currently working on the explosion, and if I have enough time I would like to create an intergalactic final  kamehameha 

I have to give attribution to all the elements I didnt create so this is where I got to the background sky:  https://x3droad.com/sky-background-at-night-n1-starry-night/

Test render for the bubble barieer + spark and the hero energy shader

First video render + bubbles protection inspired by cesar from jojo bizarre

First render test with environment shader + lighting + charachter shading

the hero attacks and powers will be based on cesar attacks such as "Hamon cutter"

simulated and finsihed all the details for the flame

I simulated and renderered the flame that will come out of the monster's mouth

ok so today I worked on the fire and smoke simulation in houdini. this is a test render. I also worked on the mountain and landscape shading and lighting. however the simulation are taking too much space I need to find a way to change that.

story : this is a fight that will take on another planet : Saturne. So I will try to make the landscape look interstellar

this is what it looks like in the viewport I m having problems aligning cameras
