Hi,
It was supposed to be a simple viewport capture with some fish playing around, and ended up like this.
Few rules combined together, and we get boids behavior. Check out Craig Reynolds paper about crowd system to get more info on that subject. All of AI and crowd system in games and movies are based on that.
I animated fish with bones and expressions so I could get at least a bit of procedural taste. Houdini….
Check it out!

Hi,
No RnD for some time, since of very crazy times because of finishing another project, and finally here it is. I was working on procedural DA Splash tool for Houdini, thats the progress that I have accomplished few months ago. I would love to push it a bit further, but really not now. I have implemented basic controlls for gun-like setup. Viewport preview of point instanced geometry and ground deformation RBD (not on video). I’m planning to release a OTL so you can use, look into in and give me a feedback.
Thats how Houdini journey begins 
Cheers!

Hello,
A first trailer of Hugo has just been released. Beautiful sets shot in 3D by Martin Scorsese, a bit family movie, but the train sequence we did is really cool. Check out the trailer, and below you can see a frame with some goodness

The very first movie that I had a chance to work on, is released, now just waiting for DVD/Bluray. Totally crazy action packed movie. Enjoy the trailer.
Cheers!

Quick update on me. I am at Pixomondo Berlin since October 2010, first at Babelsberg Studio, now we are in the heart of Berlin, Kreuzberg. Great people, great projects and great city!
Cheers!
This is a practical example example of the TP setup from Aligner tutorial. Testing shader and timing on some poor guy Actually I did this almost a year ago, right after this tutorial. Just wanted to get rid of it from my desktop

Hello!
It’s finally live! I’ve been struggling with this animation for way too long. Hopefully I finished it the way I wanted from the very beginning.
The point was to practise some procedural destruction via TP ( at that time I worked on TP3) and FumeFX. There is also a full tank rig, but it’s all covered in dust 
Rendering was handled in FinalRender3, it worked quite well, at the end of animation u can see some GI flickering, I really had no time to crank up the settings to get rid of it. And finally, I had a chance to work for the first time with Nuke by comping this piece. It’s just awesome software for this kind of comping, also way faster than AE – especially when multichannel EXR workflow comes at the party I’ve attached Nuke’s script screenshot to show u how I approached it – let me know if there is something done the way it’s not supposed to, I brought all the habits from AE.
Big thanks goes to to guys from Box Postproduction for great feedback during production and for borrowing SOME renderfarm power. Greatly appreciated.
Enjoy!
