Octie Churro taking a stroll on the beach in his new, revamped body and dynamics model. Technically it’s a “novempus”, not an octopus 🐙and he appreciates a good sunset 🌅

Want to bring your creativity to life with mixed reality? In my free Digital Street Art School tutorial by Lenovo Yoga, I’ll show you how to create a wild Rube Goldberg machine that sends a soccer ball on a thrilling adventure using VFX, motion tracking, modeling, and simulation. Link in bio.

Soft Bodies 🦑

We’re stoked to have this selected for the OFFF Screen, Barcelona @offfest

Sculpt done in Zbrush, simulated and rendered in Houdini with Octane renderer. This collaboration represents an intersection of our interests for alien life and love for unconventional visuals.

See how I turned these iconic towers into a soccer speed ramp. This was part of “The Detour”, an around-the-world project with @nuderobot, @gabrielbeniciobh, @shutterauthority, @m_editat, and @camylbuena — each of us building a moment in the ball’s wild global journey.

What started as a missed shot from @nuderobot, bounced to Brazil with @gabrielbeniciobh, and now continues in Qatar. Check out this speed ramp machine I built to keep the momentum going. Heads up @shutterauthority it’s coming to you next. Made with Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition, Imagined with Intel®. #MadeWithLenovoYoga #IntelcoreUltra @lenovo

Sloppy Eldritch ride.

Another quick doodle that i even forgot i made using a double geo track done in Nuke’s GeoTracker with relative motion compensation.
.
The ride bull was luckily on and rotating for demonstration purposes, so i captured the shot, scanned the bull with Polycam and used that mesh to track its motion in GeoTracker.
.
Contrary to common beliefs, the iPhone footage has distortions at the edges even with the 48 mm lens, so in order for GeoTracker to work , you have to shoot distortion grids and undistort your iPhone footage. Btw, the software lens distortion correction in the iPhone’s option applies only to the wide camera lens (13mm).
.
Azathoth is simmed with vellum tetrahedral constraints and his ass is attached to the bull using very stiff attach to geo constraints. Liquid is variable viscosity MPM sim, meshed with regular vdb’s, no fancy neural meshing here, because it was done in 20.5. Wetmap is a baked in cd attribute coming from fluid/ground accumulation with a tiny attenuation factor. Rendered with Octane.

A quick breakdown of my latest video. Apparently it’s all AI nowadays, but i still bothered to make one for the viewers who asked. Thanks for still appreciating actual effort.

It’s his elevator now.
.
Always wanted to do something with an elevator. Previously an untrackable shot, i used @omniscient.app for capturing the shot in this fully reflective elevator. Really interesting that the iPhone lidar is capable of picking up reflective surfaces and making some useable geo. Child of Azathoth is simulated procedurally with vellum and pushed through the elevator hatch with forces. Swinging on the hatch is handled by sliding attach to geo constraints. Liquid is a viscous MPM sim and cables are a hair sim. Rendered in Octane.

Glass of sparkling water with a touch of horror beyond human comprehension, little Azathoth.

A relatively quick test of the wonderful @omniscient.app (not an ad) and a partial KineFX driven creature + Vellum+ Flip. The real horror beyond human comprehension was trying to maintain flip volume inside this glass. I probably spent 90% of the time doing that and still struggled finding a stable system for it.
.
There was no tracking done on this scene, thanks to Omniscient and their efficient accelerometer data capture that allows a camera export right from the app, along with a low res depth pass and scanned geo. I already shot a lot of conventionally untrackable shots with it and the camera exports seem to follow accordingly. In minor instances there are geometry shifts between frames, but all in all props to the dev for fixing issues really fast. Will use again.

Something fun and unusual that i’ve done for Renova and @thats_jimmy. I haven’t done keyframe animation for ages and this was a reminder that i have so much to learn and improve in this area. Thanks for the opportunity 😎
