SYNOPSIS

Eumycota is a 4 min long music video and a university project that I worked on together with my fellow student Raphael Gerlach. https://one_art_boi.artstation.com/

The music was composed by the legendary Barzo01 https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/artist/0mNLICUFwtPCnCj3bRweFq?si=3qBOvVr0S_aPnGMVHTdUgg

My main focus in this project was on different simulation techniques in Houdini. I worked on multiple growth simulations, I also developed an "under the skin" simulation using vellum with particles that repelled each other to create this organic motion (OVERKILL). In most cases a sphere with animated noise was sufficient to achieve the organic movement I needed. Additionally I created a tearing simulation... spending 3 weeks of work on only a few frames turned out a bit excessive. Besides the simulation work I was responsible for environment design and shading.
