This Blender simulation was a proof of concept in creating realistic fire and smoke with unique color grading. Instead of traditional orange flames, I chose blue to align with the look development of a potential project. This experiment pushed my skills in 3D art and simulation, blending technical realism with creative design choices.
Created in Houdini, this project combined two simulations: the natural flight of a butterfly and a mystical, cloudy trail following its movements. I enhanced both effects through editing and compositing to emphasize cohesion and atmosphere. It showcases my focus on animation and characters, using 3D art techniques to create surreal yet believable movement.
This Houdini project linked a smoke simulation to the arc of an animated block. The challenge was keeping the wispy cloud physics intact while still responding dynamically to the object’s motion. The result was a natural, dispersing trail that blends animation and graphics and design into a cohesive visual study.
This simulation focused on realistic sandstorm physics within Houdini. I used a ground plane for interaction, which added weight and scale to the movement. By considering perspective and speed, the storm gained a natural force and sense of immersion. A strong example of 3D modeling and visual effects work rooted in realism.
I mix imagination with intention—each project starts with your idea and grows into bold 3D art, animation characters, and design that’s anything but ordinary.
