Houdini Projects (2020- 2021)
After working with Houdini for some time now I collected a few of the cooler projects I did with it over the years(I think I started with Houdini roughly early 2020). I really wanted to present these now so I figured I'll just compile one Houdini projects dump. The latest stuff that was actually used for production is currently under NDA sadly.
Some of them are more proof of concept or ideas I had and probably would need improvement for production. If given time though they could be pretty advanced.
My motto for Houdini is usually "as much control as possible" and "modularity". No "one-click solutions" but something an artist could still work with and make some quite complex stuff with his/her own "flair".
