VFX & Technical Art

Chladni Plate Simulation

> Houdini / VEX / Solaris
RBD Sim VEX Karma XPU

A procedural VFX exploring Chladni patterns using acoustic wave equations.

  • Procedural Modeling: Implemented Chladni wave equation (Cos/Sin interference) via VEX attribute wrangles[cite: 10].
  • Simulation: Custom DOP network using FieldForce and RBD objects to drive particles/geometry along nodal lines[cite: 113].
  • Optimization: Cached to USD/BGEO and rendered using Solaris & Karma XPU for efficient motion blur[cite: 123, 204].

Smoke Fractal Simulation

> Houdini / Pyrosolver / EEVEE
Smoke Sim VEX Houdini & Blender EEVEE

Smoke simulation Fractal patterns.

  • Procedural VFX: Utilized the Houdini Pyro solver with custom forces to generate fractal patterns, rendered in EEVEE via a VDB-cached pipeline.
  • Simulation: Custom network using Field Force and VDB smoke simulation to shape smoke into specific fractal forms.
  • Optimization: Using the EEVEE real-time rendering engine, it was very fast and efficient.
