Hi everyone! I'm excited to share my updated showreel featuring my recent work on #SecretLevel! It's been an incredible journey collaborating with exceptional talent on challenging projects that pushed creative boundaries. 👉 Available for generalist/environment artist roles from late February 2025. #3DArt #EnvironmentArt #freelance #CG #Animation #3d #Houdini #Arnold #MadeWithSubstance

Introducing Luminairi's debut project: Outpost Alpha, a fully digital action spectacle made by our small team of 10 artists with an even smaller budget. Full trailer out now! youtu.be/dg3Cbtl00wo Read and see more here: luminairi.com/outpost-alpha

I haven't posted any procedural material for a long time, so here is one. Crying obsidian was made with #MaterialMaker Grab CC0 source file here: materialmaker.org/material?id=15…

New Houdini tutorial just dropped 🔥 Learn how to create wispy smoke using pyro + particles + curves for a soft, detailed look. Covers shading, smoothing, and simple workflow, powerful results.

Back 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

New tutorial out! Improving Solaris performance in Houdini voxyde.com/houdini-nuke-t… In this tutorial, Tom demonstrates how to use Houdini Solaris, to efficiently build an optimized stage layout. He shows us how to import procedurally generated ground assets into the LOPs network, where the artist can manage complex scene data and materials within a unified USD pipeline.

Over the past year we've helped over 100 artists update their portfolios after being laid off by giving them access to our tools free of charge. We've decided to make our Layoff Assistance Program a permanent part of our business! jangafx.com/layoff-assista… #gamedev #realtimevfx

@frederickokott Thank you so much. I am testing different scenarios as well on a live project and tweaking how the tool works. I think after the leaves, I am going to implement a way where you can paint areas to avoid.

@Cyrus3v awesome to see your progress here 🙏

Back to the ivy solver, making tweaks so it’s smart enough to know when it should “climb” a surface. Next up is refining how the leaves grow, creating clusters in certain areas. #wip #SideFx #Houdini #3d #TD

@Halo_VFX That’s what I want to check, especially how it handles a large number of UDIMs. Once you have more than 10, Substance Painter’s performance drops noticeably.

@Cyrus3v compared to substance i'd love to hear what you think of it and how it compares

Ok, I think it's time I properly test this tool.
