Breakdowns

An ongoing R&D breakdown of a purely procedural, physically-based sun surface plugin for UE 5.7. Explores custom HLSL, compute shaders, and stable matching in Niagara.

How I built a layer-based procedural explosion tool in Houdini — from velocity setup and Pyro simulation to VAT export and Six Point Lighting in Unity. A breakdown of the system architecture and the thinking behind it.

Technical breakdown of a camera-driven procedural transition using controlled chaos, soft-body simulation, and spline-based velocity fields in Houdini.

A technical case study describing a USD-based pipeline for interior design, focused on parallel workflows, scene structure, asset reuse, and cross-DCC collaboration.

Procedural environment creation in Houdini chapter 1 focusing on asset optimization, modular scene construction, and production-ready workflows.

A production-oriented breakdown of a procedural tire generator built on real-world automotive dimensions, demonstrating stable scaling, tread logic, and sidewall systems.

In this short video, I present a quick overview of the "Camp Fire" FX creation process using Vertex Animation techniques. I used Houdini 20.5 with Sparse Fire Simulation and upres techniques for Unreal Engine 5.4 with Lumen and Unity URP/HDRP 2022.3.4. Watch as I showcase key steps, including geometry preparation, loop animation, shader creation, and particle system building for sparks, hot air convection, and burnout sticks. Like this post?
