Ground Shatter - Progress so Far

Next Update on this mini project. Fixed some of the issues that were present earlier but still needs quite a bit of tweaking, but i think its looking a bit better.

Ground Shatter - Start

Messing about with houdini never ceases to amuse me. Thought I might try to create some form of ground shatter sort of effect having seen such stuff in so many movies and games. This is just the start and as such there is quite a bit to fix but I think its starting to look semi alright.

Back to learning more Houdini :D

Trying to expand my knowledge within the wonderful realm that is houdini :D. Was going through some of the example covered in Peter Claes's houdini technical effects dvd to try out a few things. Following are a few of the results :

Houdini - CHOPS

Experimentation with Houdini :D. Messing around with Houdini and coming up with ideas for my major possibly.

Houdini - Volume Experiments (cont.)

Experimentations continue. This was roughly how the clouds looked in the final version.

Houdini - Volume Experiments (cont.)

A bit more experimentation with it.

Houdini - Volume Experiments :D

Some interesting experiments with volumes using a couple of different approaches like some containers, iso offsets, i3d textures etc. It was mainly to try and develop some form of clouds for my group project at uni, and this is sort of the different stages of progress for how it turned out. It was fun and interesting to try and grasp ideas around this sort of stuff. Not ideal results due to lack of time....

Motion Studies - Final

This is the final video submitted for the assignment.

Motion Studies - Research Phase

Various Studies of a cat in motion to try and replicate a similar motion in 3d based on footage.
This was one of the assignments I had in the 2nd term on my second year at Bournemouth University
