Greetings on behalf of the Principium team! We are a group of seven third year students from NHTV University of Applied Sciences in Breda, the Netherlands.

We have been working on this cinematic short film project for 17+ weeks, from it's conception and storyboard to the stage you see now. We hope to complete and release this short film in July, 2018.

We're using Houdini and Redshift for Houdini for various effects in the film, some being crucial narrative points, and others being to add juice!

We want to bring you along on the last two months of our project, and share our progress as we near completion! Feel free to give any feedback or comments, we look forward to hearing from you!

Hi everyone!

The following are some stills from our opening shot, which is a combination of 3D and matte painting.The terrain was actually generated with Houdini, and then juiced up a bit in Zbrush by Wouter, our matte painter and modeller. These are still a work in progress, but that's what this thread is for after all!
