Luminous Particle Cascade

Project

Mountain Particles

Role

Concept, particle simulation, lighting, rendering and grade

Tools

Houdini (POPs), Redshift

Format

13 seconds, 9:16

Glowing particles drifting down a mountainside. I built the simulation with POPs in Houdini and rendered it in Redshift with a shallow depth of field, so the particles closest to the camera dissolve into soft points of light.
