I’ve been heads-down on some amazing large-scale projects lately, which hasn't left much room for personal work. However, I managed to carve out some time to wrap up a few pieces to keep improving those Houdini skills.
Thanks to Paul Esteves for the tutorial

Finally! This looks really good. One of my main gripes with Unreal is the DOF

Sometimes it is important to know when to abandon a project.
I started a big project where I wanted to mix Fluid simulation from Houdini with Unreal Engine.
Even the project didn't come to fruition like I wanted, I still learned a lot of things from it.

Here is my submission + breakdown for the Rampage Rally by Pwnisher.
This was my first time taking part in a challenge like this. Sadly, I started quite late and only had 10 days to create everything from scratch, which made it even more challenging but also a lot of fun!

Houdini liquid dissolve FX 🌊 🫧

New FX finished! 🌊 🫧
This liquid dissolve effect layers multiple #Houdini simulations using SOP solvers, FLIP fluids, Pyro, VDB advection, and POPs. I built growth solvers, sine-based procedural animations, and custom solvers to drive efficient, art-directable simulations

Cool Knitting FX for a fake Shoe Advert πŸ§ΆπŸ‘Ÿ
I’ve just wrapped up a new Houdini project after completing Mark Fancher’s course, where I learned how to create advanced knitting effects with the goal of applying them to a bigger project I have in mind.

Yeah, I like DragonBall how could you know?
This is my latest project to keep improving some skills in Houdini. For this, I wanted to mix Unreal Engine. It's pretty complex, cloth sims, lots of particles, Pyro sims etc... Enjoy the breakdown!

Es un roguelike, con estΓ©tica de poker, el objetivo es hacer "combos" para conseguir mas puntuaciΓ³n para ir pasando de niveles, al final es muy parecido a cualquier roguelike, mejoras las cartas, hay modificadores,etc...
Yo lo empecΓ© a jugar hace poco cuando voy en el autobΓΊs y es bastante adictivo

It's been a while since I've had time to do any personal projects, but a few weeks ago I spent a few days brushing up on my animation skills. The render is of course thanks to the magic of @ladycaballo.bsky.social

Hey everyone! I am a 3D artist I have mostly worked as a generalist, though currently, I am focusing on FX using Houdini and Nuke, I hope to connect with other amazing artists here!

Started setting up a starter pack for technical and vfx artists here!

It's not conclusive yet, I'll update it as I go, but it should be a great start to find some awesome artists ✨
