Another late night sketch

One more from today!

Picked up some pastels today, back into 2 minute gesture drawings.

Spent some time at lunch replacing ram on an old laptop. It involved taking the whole thing apart. I'll always be a software guy, but something about taking hardware apart, putting it back together, and getting it to boot will always feel like magic.

Some Houdini sketching from yesterday and this morning. Creating images from ripples in water. This uses the luma of the image to determine how big the ripple should be at the main frame when it all comes together. In this case its frame 38.

Happy New Year!

My family often gifts experiences or things we can do together for the holidays, so we're always trying to find a fun way to present it and have something to unwrap. This year I spend some time in Copernicus in Houdini and made these tickets inspired by The Polar Express. It was a lot of fun!

Another fun #vexember challenge. The goal was to create this one entirely in one vex node — point generation, colors, animation, all of it! I had a lot of fun working it out. #houdini #3d #vfx

Had a chance to tackle #vexember challenge 2 (glad they're every four days this year). This one was a lot of fun and pushed me to study matrices again (turns out it had been awhile!) Also threw in some Copernicus for the modeling which was really interesting! #houdini

Finally added a #Houdini pin to my jacket

Feeling Thankful 😮‍💨

My quick take on #vexember day 1. No fancy lights or renderers here. All vex and a little Copernicus to stitch it together at the end. #houdini

Brainstorming geometry or the ravings of a madman? The world may never know. 🧮 #houdini

Playing around with that single line drawing but with a line per color channel. Happy Thanksgiving! #houdini

Shared this over on the other app a while ago, but thought the #houdini community here would like it! Implementation of @baabbbaash.bsky.social 's talk on "Single Line Drawings via Math Optimization", this was one of my first Copernicus experiments. Working on a few fun new takes on it, stay tuned!
