Flashback : Gyerim | Dexter Studios

Learn how Korea's Dexter Studios brought ancient mythology to life for the 5-sided immersive media art exhibition, FLASHBACK: GYERIM. Focusing on the high-impact "Dragon's Domain" sequence, FX Supervisor Seohyun Kim details how the team tackled massive, long-runtime water simulations by combining partitioned full FLIP simulations with Houdini's native Ocean Spectrum, VDB meshing, and Whitewater solvers. By switching from a traditional multi-camera setup to a single 360-degree LatLong camera mapping workflow, Dexter Studios successfully eliminated boundary seam discontinuities, reduced file management overhead by 80%, and seamlessly delivered hyper-realistic ocean visuals at peak efficiency.
