Toronto-based Mr. X has a long collaborative history with Director Guillermo Del Toro. In this latest effort they helped bring to life Frankenstein with massive environment builds, hero creature work, and high-octane destruction sequences. Learn how procedural modeling in Houdini, Axiom Pyro solvers, and USD workflows in Solaris allowed the studio to meet Del Toro’s fast-paced iteration demands without compromising on cinematic scale.
SEPT 22 & 23 | Join us for two days of learning, inspiration, and networking with the Houdini community at Houdini HIVE Equinox in Toronto. Whether you're an experienced Houdini artist or just getting started, Equinox brings together artists, technical directors, educators, and industry professionals to share production techniques, workflows, and the latest developments in Houdini.
Sept 10 | Houdini HIVEalt is a gathering dedicated to the emerging and unconventional procedural 3D workflows shaping industries beyond traditional media and entertainment. Explore how advanced visualisation and computing are being used across product design, architecture, automotive, science, 3D printing, AI and machine learning, synthetic data, cloud pipelines, and more. These disciplines may solve very different problems, but they often share the same creative tools, technical challenges, and ambitions.
