Wrapped up the punching combo I made to get familiar with working in Houdini for real-time. Of course, even with all that realism, things ended up very stylized!

Got the smoke sims exported and started to replace the blocked in effects with flipbooks and masks from Substance Designer.

A few more updates, time to export to Unreal, I think I'm gunna have to just rebuild the dummy animations in-engine since they're not rigged...

After a few more days of learning, I got a sim into Unreal that's not ugly! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I think I have a pretty solid setup for wrangling smoke into the shapes/motion I need for my next portfolio piece 🤞.

Some concept art, had the smoke flipbook as a gif ready to go but apparently Bluesky doesn't support that sort of thing yet.

Yeah I'd be lying if I said I had any idea why bones would rather rotate 270 degrees to get to their end point instead of just the negative -90.

Picked up Substance and powered through my first tutorial. Not everything was super useful for VFX creation but excited to start building masks for my Niagara stuff tomorrow!

Got the rig and animations done in Blender, and got 'em imported into Unreal. Things are coming along!
