/noclip turns 10 today. So for the next month we're going to post a documentary a day to celebrate the people who took the time to talk to us during our first decade. First up, our first documentary. How Psyonix toiled for years to build an overnight success. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om0j...

10 Years. We did it. Thank you all for supporting our work. We do not have the words.
Added an attribute to help me with the material for the "bubbles". #Houdini #VEX #WIP #3d
Ciro Cardoso@cirocardoso.bsky.social · 3w agoPlaying with VEX noises and trying to land somewhere between bubbles and coagulated blood??? Not sure what it wants to be yet. Just having some fun with VEX and noises. Need to see this under SSS to know if it actually works. From a certain angle, it almost looks like bubble wrap. 😅

Had the chance to collaborate with @TheBlurStudio and Games Workshop on the Titus Returns: 500 Worlds cinematic Worked on modeling/texturing + built procedural materials for the environment. GW later turned the environment into a physical miniature set! www.artstation.com/artwork/O3o4Dw
Titus Returns: 500 Worlds Cinematic | Warhammer 40,000, Ciro Cardoso
I had the fantastic opportunity to collaborate closely with Games Workshop on the Titus Returns: 500 Worlds cinematic. My initial task was the Roboute Guilliman statue, adding a pass of light damage, ...

TIL that in Houdini, pressing Q repeats your last action. I know it’s super basic, but it’s very handy when modelling. Live and learn. 🫠 #Houdini #SideFx #HoudiniTips
Not sure if there’s a more elegant way to do this, but I wanted to use Direction From Attribute in the Ray node in a more interactive way, basically with a gizmo to control the projection orientation.
Not an official job posting just yet, but if anyone knows a reliable UK-based 3D modeler with Unity experience who might wanna freelance for ABIDE for a few months, feel free to reach out. Mostly for modelling interior architecture and various objects in and around the house. No gen-AI please.
I’ve been busy with work and slowly melting with this heat wave in UK, but here’s a WIP of what I’m currently working on in #Houdini.
If you're in London, feel free to drop by and say hello.
I finally found some time to further develop my Ivy Solver. I have now added an option to use a mask to define “avoid” areas, preventing ivy from growing on specific surfaces like windows and doors. Next, I want to improve the way the hanging strands extend, making them feel more natural. #Houdini
I just found out that the @metmuseum now offers downloadable #3D models for some of their artworks. The link below should take you to all the pieces that include a 3D model, although a few entries don’t seem to have the download option yet. www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...
The latest update of The Art of VFX app is available! We’ve improved navigation, refined the visuals, and added a new Search button to make exploring VFX content even easier. Update now on iOS and Android. VFX insights. Anywhere. Anytime. https://www.artofvfx.com/the-app/
Okay, a little more work was needed on this so that it can handle multiple guidelines. I also added an option to add some breathing room so that the ivy can expand and still follow the guideline. #3d #Houdini #TD #wip
Ciro Cardoso@cirocardoso.bsky.social · 6mo agoA little bit more progress today with implementing using guide curves to control how the ivy grows. Next, using a mask to create avoid areas. #3d #Houdini #TD #wip

Ciro Cardoso@cirocardoso.bsky.social · 6mo agoMaking more progress on the ivy solver. Currently adding extra control for pscale and orientation. Next on the roadmap is a feature to define areas to avoid and incorporate hanging ivy. #3d #Houdini #SideFX #TD

Ciro Cardoso@cirocardoso.bsky.social · 6mo agoBack to working on my ivy solver, I’m setting up how the leaves orient, balancing between following the branch and being “sky sensitive.” It’s a bit tricky to find the right balance. Still a #wip, but I think it’s coming together. #3d #cgi #Houdini #SideFx

Ciro Cardoso@cirocardoso.bsky.social · 6mo agoDid a bit more work on this today, ignore the leaves since it’s still a #wip. Added an option to space the branches out more and set a starting angle. The only part I don't like is having this inside a solver, but using a For Loop With Feedback doesn’t give the same result. Open to ideas.

🧵 1/3 While working on the Ghost of Yōtei – The Hunt Begins cinematic trailer at Goodbye Kansas, I was tasked with rebuilding the entire house interior based on a layout file. That meant matching translation, rotation, and non‑uniform scale for more than 1,000 objects.
