CGI - 2018 - Q1

I plan to create more pieces of work this year than any other (fingers crossed). Trying to stay motivated and work on a few different things every month. Here's what I've been creating this Quarter (January, February, March 2018). Stay tuned for the next quarter :)

Learning how to use Houdini - modelling a glass with water droplets on it. Still getting the hang of it - Modelling in Max is still far more comfortable/ quick!

First time rendering in Houdini. Came out fairly well, just super noisy. Render times were slow...

After seeing lots of this motion graphics stuff in this style on instagram/ motionographer - I decided to make my own

Rainy window WIP

Rainy Window Test

This was a project inspired by an animation seen online. I wanted to animate water droplets (as spheres), export it to Houdini to attempt to remesh them into a blobmesh/ meta ball style shape.

Water Droplet Animation

Developing my houdini skills a little further - this was an attempt to animate a technique I'd recently learned about. Controlling volume density with noise and meshing the result.

Poor quality animation :)
