FX Demoreel - Romain CZYSZ

The aim of this first shot was to take an interest in the Axiom solver on houdini, to understand how it works, as well as to understand how to optimize a large-scale simulation of this type. It was also my first time rendering on Karma/Solaris, so I learned a lot about this project!

This project was a way for me to familiarize myself with water simulation on Houdini, as well as how whitewater simulation works. This shot was rendered on redshift, made before I learned Karma, so I wasn't able to use Houdini's water shader, and unfortunately you can feel it a bit. I also learned a lot about grooming, and took the opportunity to make a little HDA of procedural moss!

This meteorite project was a way for me to learn how camera mapping works with Nuke, and how it can save me working time on certain shots. In this case, it means I don't have to model the whole environment!
