Houdini 11 — Flip Fluids Test

Just testing out the new solver in Houdini 11. It does a good job compared to H10… way faster, but my computer still lacks the ram necessary to do any fluid solver justice.
The scene is approx 20×20 meters… was over 10hrs to get to this point in the sim (with the meshing (quite blobbly!) + custom color vop) for only ~280k particles at mostly default settings. …will have to do a Realflow5 test of similar setup soon.

New Reel Is Up!

Latest reel has been updated with some stuff from 2012,   New Moon, Transformers: War for Cybertron, and additional Halo Wars shots.  I also created a mini ‘RnD reel’, with some random tidbits of fun stuff that turned out cool.  Anywho, enjoy!  — and before anybody asks, the music is Glitch Mob: Drive it Like You Stole It

Visit the Portfolio Page to see the reel(s)!

New reel… coming soon…

—Edit — New Reel Posted Above!—

On a side note, I’ve been working with a few guys on making some tools for Realflow 5 (I’m doing the coding, they’re doing the ideas / helping me with the direction)… we’ve got some really neat stuff in the works… more on that later though.    🙂

Not your normal update…

Just wanted to share some pics I took while out and about… one of the (few) benefits of being back in the Northwest.  The full images are pretty big (file size and image size!), even though they’re actually 1/2 res..  These were just done with the auto-stitch in Photoshop, with no tweaking, so there are def. a few errors here and there…  Enjoy!
