Each effect was built and tested in isolation in Houdini before being combined in the final composite. Below you can see the sand and fog simulations as standalone passes.
Project Details
Description
For Julien Bam's cinematic YouTube short, the task was to produce highly atmospheric fog and sand effects that blend seamlessly with the live-action footage. All simulations were built procedurally in Houdini, giving full control over timing, density and art direction, and were then rendered as EXR passes in Cinema 4D with Octane.
