"Metamorphosis" -

Hey everyone!

 

 

This was my termproject in the 2013/2014 winter term at FH Mainz.

 

It was my first big project using Houdini. And I am the only one here at my school using it.

Our school is under the firm grip of Maxons Cinema 4D! :D

 

I showed it to a lot of people here... but you know.. people who know you are always kind.

So I thought to seek some critique and feedback here!

 

Please be honest and straightforward about everything you dislike!

 

 

 

Thanks so much in advance!

Greetings!

Henrik

Incidentally, I just saw this on vimeo earlier in the evening. Very cool!

 

Initially, I found the 80s-style harsh shadows look a bit jarring but I love the concept by the end of the video! I think others will probably say that soft shadows is just a way to cater to the masses. :)

Great stuff - I would also try a version where the camera is rolling at the start - maybe 1.5 turns until you are at the main island.  Might be able to roll it in AfterEffects.

Hey, thanks for the replies guys!

 

Hard Shadows were a trade-off I had made to increasing render performance. Lighting over all isn't as nice as I wanted it to be... 

 

Yeah like you said, the lighting could use some improvements. Nice work anyways, lovely to see something not so much in the realistic FX spectrum.
