Iβve 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

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.

Rampage Rally | Futuristic Car | 3D Community Challenge \Breakdown\
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 π π«§
New FX finished! π π«§
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

PowerUp Breakdown |Houdini|Unreal|Nuke
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

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 β¨
