I would like to share with you my latest project done in Houdini and Unreal.
I had the opportunity to work, with some great friends and artists, in realizing 5 minute film Cassini Logs.

Cassini Logs was selected by Epic Games and Screen NSW to be part of the Unreal Engine real-time short film challenge and was chosen as the competition winner.

Alex and Tim assembled a fantastic team of artists. I worked on the environments and FXs using Houdini a lot.
I chose a procedural approach in Houdini, building the setups for the vents, the kelp and the iced-lake.
I used DOP for the iced lake simulation and the vellum solver to simulate the stamens’s flowers moving underwater.
This 5 minute piece is teasing the larger story and it gave us the opportunity to introduce our main character and the unique world of the film.
I really hope you like it and please feel free to share the film
Here are the fantastic artists that made this happen!
