Day 27 - Chaotic Shapes

Tried to capture some chaotic entity today but it keeps escaping from the anti-gravity chamber...

This setup ended up quite a ride as everything is procedurally derived from one chaotic shape node! The cage and chain are modeled procedurally. The chains are also attached to the cage and the ground with projection vectors. The particle flow is moving following tangential vector forces, trying to escape but attracted back to the shape. I also overlaid volume smoke to add to the effect.

-> See the preview video attached.

I polished as much as I could my karma setup and spent way too much time on the lighting and composition. I also took the opportunity to learn how to instance lights in Solaris.

Of course most people nowadays would think that this kind of abstract art is "made in seconds by a prompt".

Day 27 : LABS Chaotic Shapes -- So much CHAOS !

Just a quick test after work today. I was experimenting with raying the chaotic shapes onto geometry to bring back some shape to the cool point patterns.

Day 27. have to denoise heavily. can't find the solution to smooth out the noise on the ceiling. There is a huge sampling difference from the ceiling to the ground. Some materials are from greyscalegorilla. Made with Greyscalegorilla+

Still getting my head around a lot on the workflows but slowly getting comfortable with the software. Reused some assets done previously and I also tried the intel denoiser out of the box: Clean but too soft.

Well this was chaotic all right...

Updated with something that works a bit better.

Day 27 - Chaotic Shapes

meta balls + chaotic shape + material linker on water = idk what that is, but it looks cool.
