I acknowledge my submission doesn't fit and will not count (the chicken is not modeled in Houdini), but considering I've only started my learning journey 8 weeks ago, I felt the urge of sharing the work I've done.
Yes, it would have been a better fit under animals, but the render wasn't ready by then.
Thanks,
Eyas

I wanted to use this opportunity to learn the MPM solver. As always what started off as a simple project ended up taking a lot more time -- I enjoyed modelling the bubbles. It takes a lot of time to get the right shading in MaterialX + Karma. But if you spend enough time you eventually get the look.

I also used Studio HDRI for getting the sick look!

Day 21: Food
It was the most challenging day for me. Since I didn't know what to create, I tried cooking,
but I quickly realized I’m not very good at cooking.😭
But I made this just for you! I hope it’s actually edible.

Who doesn't like a bowl of honey soaked cereal eh. The low res render is unfortunate, I'd like to render out a higher res version for youtube later but 1080p was gonna take like 4 min a frame

Day 21!
It's quite impressive how 21 days have changed my skills/speed with houdini, 10 more days to go my fellow magicians!

First I just wanted to make Candy Corn but then had the idea that it would be funny if a pumpkin is throwing them up 😄

Hope you enjoy!

Hello!
Today was the first substantial work with MPM. Honestly, I kept putting it off, but today everything went well, and it was great!
