Houdini Snow Tool WIP

Houdini's greatest selling point as a 3D app is its procedural workflow. I wanted to create a tool that could place snow geo on environments without having to model the snow. You could just build out your environment without snow and then use this tool to generate the snow on top of everything. I spent a morning with it and came up with a rough beginning. The basics are in there but it could be refined a bit:

You'll notice that which ever way the torus is rotated the snow stays on top. As is, the snow isn't shaded yet. I know that I could do all of the snow in displacement and I may yet play with that a little more as I work with it.

A little project that I've been working on:

Boardwalk Empire 3

She was a terrible person but you couldn't help feeling bad for her. At least a little. Lucy Danziger:

Boardwalk Empire 2

I don't do fan art all that much though its a nice way to relax while drawing. For these drawings I just look at a couple of pictures of the character to remind me of how they look. Maybe I'll do a quick sketch or two but I don't want them to be drawings of actual frames from the show. However, I think it would be awesome to do reverse storyboards of an episode or two.

If you haven't already started watching Boardwalk Empire I highly suggest that you do. I really love the deep characters, high quality vfx, period setting, and overall cinematography. I suppose I couldn't recommend it to everyone, its pretty intense. Jimmy Darmody:

Melissa

My lovely girlfriend, Melissa, came to visit me in LA. It was a good way to start the year.
