Forest Troll - Digital Creatures / Fantasy characters (ZBrush / Maya)
Yep, beside effects animation, I`m also 3D modeller / digital sculptor. From now on, beside effects, lighting and shading, I`ll publish some of my 3D models as a lot of my colleagues and students suggested…

HDM1.1 Tool - Tron "Derezzed" looking procedural RBD activation and shattering (Houdini)
Inspired with research for "Tron Legacy" done in Digital Domain and Dreamworks Animation I recreated same effect using my HDM Tool for procedural activation / propagation of hundred of thousands 3D pixel looking rigid bodies. Here are some of close up renders:
So, effect itself is broken into two mayor parts: "3D pixels" and their procedural activation. 3D pixels are generated from
object volume, similar techniques as I used in one of my previous posts Tron:Legacy.:..::..digitizer..:..::. ;-] in 3DS Max but this time same techniques is applied in Houdini. For procedural activation I used my HDM Tool also shown in previous

HDM1.1 Tool - Houdini Demolition master (Procedural fracturing and activation)
HDM1.1 tool is quick destruction system I`m currently developing which gives you control over fragmentation (shattering) and over RBD activation. In other words, it`s possible to direct and control destruction using custom geometry shapes and standard forces. Also it`s possible to emit particles, additional debris and smoke as well. Support for those secondary elements will be added in upcoming releases. System also allows you to split your geometry into two peaces in case you don't need small fragments to cover whole object. Splitting geometry like that makes RBD calculation faster. As mentioned already it`s possible to use any kind of shape as fracturing guide and any kind of geometry to guide
