We just launched a new Houdini Connect video [sidefx.co] - featuring SHED’s work on an animated Lotto Max commercial.
SHED used Houdini in a wide variety of ways, including character FX (fur creation and grooming, sliding skin using a cloth solver, etc), environments, lighting/lookdev, etc.
One of their key highlights was that it was 'great to have a software where the fur and snow sim could interact together’.
Great work by Bill Self on the video capture and editing!
