Hi Everyone-

A group of us just finished a short student animated film, “The Potter,” that we have been working on for about a year now.



I had the opportunity to use Houdini in my role as the FX guy on the team. This is the first time I have actually been able to use Houdini in a production and it definately paid off. Here is a link to the film:

Everytime you see either a sparkly pixi dust effect, or volumetric breath effect, or bright glowy globs, that was Houdini at work.

Enjoy!

Very nice short film. Really worth every byte of the download :-)

Hey Guys,

Great Animation. You guys might want to enter that into Siggraph for Animation Theater and Electronic Theater. I was just thinking about taking some master classes at SCAD too on the VFX side.

Cheers,
Nate Nesler

Very good work! No comment!
