Is it already time for another Episode? FLIP Fluids and Vellum? Yep, Chris used a fluid sim to spawn animated pins onto it! Not as easy as it looks! Find out how to create this on Patreon and Entagma.com this Thursday! #vellum #cgi #houdini #sidefx

AI came up in The 3D Artist Community recently and instead of hot takes, I got something refreshingly real: working 3D pros across film, games, fashion, and product viz being genuinely honest about where things stand. Wrote it all up this week. 3dartist.substack.com/p/3d-artists...

Explorations in Houdini – A Visual Journey - Tobias Gallé

Back at it with Houdini. What started as casual tinkering turned into this ribbon-like chaos of color and translucency. Love how even tiny sim artifacts become creative highlights—and how attributes feed into shaders for wild colors, ramps, and that subsurface glow.

I've been exploring the intersection of structure and chaos in Houdini, and this latest piece, "Space Yarn," emerged from that. It reminds me of neural networks, cosmic filaments, or maybe just the tangled state of my thoughts after long Houdini sessions. #Houdini #GenerativeArt #Vellum

Been playing around in Houdini and Redshift. It's titled "Liquid Ember".

Just rediscovered the titles for Semi Permanent 2015 by Raoul Marks, and they're still breathtaking. Such an incredible blend of concept and execution—timeless inspiration! If you haven't seen them yet (or need a reminder of their brilliance), check them out: www.artofthetitle.com/title/semi-p...
