Glass fracture done in Houdini and then animated in Cinema 4D with mograph effectors. Runs super fast 👍🏻 //

09/18/2018

More Houdini experiments/learning. Had lots of fun with this one. I've always been interested in these type of advection diffusion organic like animations. Big thanks to Ian Farnsworth for the initial hip file I disected and hacked apart to get this going.

Photos from Isaac Taracks's post 04/26/2018

Some detail shots. Did five line growths at various weights and detail solvers. Super fun, a bit heavy, luckily octane's hair rendering worked pretty well.

Timeline photos 04/26/2018

What's better than a glass skull? A skull made out of whole bunch of line growths built from previous geo that was built from edges that were generated from a skull.

Timeline photos 04/24/2018

Fun fact: Lighting a glass skull is surprisingly harder than one would think.

Another color test for this guy. When I get Houdini Indie I'll kick out an animated version of this guy, but until then I'm having fun just relighting and texturing.

Timeline photos 04/23/2018

A detail shot inside the skull with SSS and the line growth.

Recently I've been trying more and more to teach myself Houdini. This was a result of combining a few tutorials, which are amazing and so helpful and everyone should watch.

Galaxy Data

I've always loved the clean geometric screen ui in Star Wars and thought I would take a stab at recreating something like that along with testing out a subtle crt tv screen effect. //

Every render is made in a single 24 hour period. Having to take an idea from concept to fruition is what really drives the creativity behind these experiments. Also with the time constraint of 24 hours it eliminates the choice to procrastinate on creating, and just make things.

Collection of different explorations that I update monthly. Each render is made using 3D software such as Cinema 4D, Substance Painter, and Octane Render. The goal is that in exploring different portions of the programs I can grow my knowledge and be able to create new and better works each and every day.
