Sculptures

This project features a series of simulations that use Houdini’s soft constraints to fracture and crumble iconic sculptures.

This exploration aims to learn and understand the nuances and challenges involved in this process. You’ll witness the delicate dance of fracturing stone as renowned sculptures reveal a vibrant red core. Delving into the beauty of destruction, showcasing the intricate dance of fracturing stone. Leveraging the Power of Houdini and creating custom tools & workflows for Fracturing, Soft Constraints, Activation, Pipeline & Previz.

Rendering with Redshift was lightning fast, but even it felt the heat with so many objects and subsurface scattering.

This video takes you through the intricate process of digitally deconstructing iconic sculptures, from initial previz to final render. Witness the meticulous planning of camera angles, timing, and blocking, followed by the dynamic choreography of fracturing simulations driven by Houdini’s powerful tools.

Delve into the complexities of look development, custom tool creation, and the interplay of lighting and rendering techniques. This is a look behind the scenes, showcasing the artistry and technical expertise required to create a captivating cinematic experience.
