A BAD HAIR DAY

VFX SIMULATION

DESCRIPTION

Hair & fur R&D project. The goal was to research a topic within Houdini and create a cool animation with this topic. This assignment is inspired by Man vs Machine Nike commercial. The only restriction was to have a spherical shape appear or have an effect inside or outside of the sphere. The sphere itself is not visualized. The color scheme was provided before hand as well. Finally, I wrote a document (PDF) where I explain how the effects work. The goal is that somebody else can recreate my effect by reading through my document and that he or she can understand what is going on. I provided some pages from my document below.
