"Eating" effect used in "The Day the Earth Stood Still" movie showing swarm of little robots “Aphids” eating whatever they touch produced in Weta Digital (source: pierre-grage.com). Originally Maya with loads of coding was used to achieve this kind of effect. In my case I used Houdini and
whole effect is fully procedural, meaning, it`s possible to replace road sign with truck, house, stadium etc. It uses volume of object therefore it`s possible to eat from inside or from surface of geometry. I will continue developing more, this is core, and I`ll publish more tests soon. Hope you like idea.
This procedural simulation is digital asset, meaning it`s fully customisable and adaptable to almost any production pipeline. If you think this could be useful for your studio pipeline, contact me personally.
That is pretty cool! Care to share the setup? =)
