Scene 1: “Kinetic Sculpture Interpretations” With these 2 scenes I aimed to capture the spirit of IRL kinetic sculptures. The first inspiration was WHITEVOIDS “Fluidic”. The second inspiration was drawn from Berndnauts “Indoor Cloud”, “Nimbus” in the Walt Disney Concert Hall & “Cloud” by Caitlind R. C. Brown & Wayne Garrett. Scene 2: “The Mage […]
Here is a collection of different experiments and exercises I created in Houdini SideFX whilst I was studying it. I found the program to be robust, and complicated. But when you started to get the hang of it you could put some really cool stuff together! Also, just when you think you have a grip […]
With these next experiments I aimed to create usable materials, these were considered my “Advance Materials” for my university assessment. Dynamic Liquid I chose to make a master liquid material which could have multiple uses. With different values, a user could use it to emulate; clear water, murky water, molten metals, viscous liquids, swamps etc. […]
This is a exploration of materials in Unreal Engine and building my grasp on constructing them using my knowledge of vector operations to manipulate the look and behaviour of materials for different uses. I made these for a university project and am very keen to continue my research into materials! ————– Basic Material ————– The […]
This sequence was constructed from a template given to me by my teacher to create an eerie scene where a magic orb burst from the ground and its magic destroys its environment. I did originally plan to have more destruction within the environment, especially towards the end for a final explosion. But it turned into […]
A short Ident I created at Uni using some procedural animation techniques ( a better quality vid is coming in the future…) My Behance blog posts outlines the process I underwent to arrive at the finished product! (scroll down to week 6 – 8. (apologies for the mega long blog without links to sections… will […]
A short animation Created in Houdini showcasing some animation principles I created a Behance blog which shows my week to week progress. This is demonstrated from week 1 – 4
