Rainy Forest FX
A dark and stormy forest scene with some fun FX!
Project Breakdown
This was a personal project to practice creating a realistic-feeling scene through layering different kinds of FX. I also used it as a way to to learn more about Houdini Vellum and its different uses. I worked on this project at the same time as I was doing shot work on a short film, and I feel like it helped me learn how to layer FX and leverage multiple simulations to get the look that I want.
