My second time finishing a Particle FX simulation, I'm really proud of this since it's been 2 weeks since I started doing VFX. A while back I was usually just doing procedural modeling, and now I get the chance to test my VFX skills. I used a mix of POP solvers with VOPs to modify the particle motion, then created a simple RBD setup using a sphere to drag it from bottom to top to create the ground fracture effect. For the smoke I used a Pyro solver and lowered it's temperature. Setup was done on Karma.

17 year old Filipino Procedural artist with the vision to redefine what is possible for the future of the Philippine tech art scene. I currently have below 1 year of experience with Houdini. Specializations: > Procedural Worldbuilding > Environmental Art > Water Simulations > Basic Procedural Tools Development > Basic Animation > Particle FX. The first generator I built was a procedural castle generator, which was made back in July 2025, around the 1st month that I used Houdini. I'm actively looking forward to build even greater projects the moment I turn 18. I currently use Adobe After Effects for compositing my VFX and doing motion graphics, and will transfer to Foundry Nuke sooner or later.
