Short Houdini 3D Sim Animations

Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

I need some help on a Houdini simulation project and you seem to have the experience and skill-set for the job. An artist dropped out, so we are looking for immediate help with a due date of the 17th We are looking for 3 short animation clips (5-10 seconds) built in Houdini that highlight a variety of interactions. The output of the work would a rendered video clip, a few technical render passes, and an export of some of the simulation detail. These will be used as demo assets to hopefully land a bigger contract, so there is the possibility of more batches of work if things go well. The renders themselves can be simple, but would need to be realistic. We have a library of environments and props that can be used (if helpful), or you can pull from your own library or sources if needed. The type of simulations that we want to highlight are a cloth sim, a fluid sim, and a hard body physics simulation. We have some flexibility on the specifics if you have any specialties or pre-made solvers, but my initial idea was -A curtain blowing in the wind and interacting with a chair -A glass of some liquid tipping over and spreading on a table -One side of a shelf falling and dropping a variety of objects If interested, please share links to portfolio or examples of similar work.
