Quick attempt at this challenge, loving some of the submissions.

Can't wait to learn more about Houdini!

Created this for today's Earth topic. Used damp grains with a black and white image of earth map to generate displaced geometry and use it to imprint on to the sand. Needs to be finer sand, but computer couldn't deal with it in time for submission.

The animation wasn't satisfactory, so I rendered it again!
I submit this one!
I'm going to win the IRON MAN award for sure!



I'm sorry, the video is easier to watch if you upload it on a different site.

Hey,
this is my entry for Earth Element:



Good luck All!

Hi,

It's not easy to do one work per day, but it's a good trainning !
Shame on me I have not time to add details and render it

I use animate contraints done with solver to lead the vellum sim and I use the worms velocity in a viscous fluid simulation to do the earth.

A little abstract entry for today!

This month will be so fun

I had trouble rendering due to license issues, so I took a screenshot of the Karma viewport. :/

Points of technical interest are the solver for making the track and related stuff, like the proxy geo of the wheel and wheel creation/animation.

Def not perfect but I will complete the ironman and learn every day

Here is my submission, thank you for this great opportunity.
