VFX short film

My role: Effects TD
Software used: Houdini, Python, Maya

I created an RBD simulation of a collapsing lamp and a pillar. I used the shattering Houdini Digital Asset that I had created for Red Rabbit and just needed to write a new script to import the cached simulation channels into Maya.
