Houdini, Blender, Substance Painter, Nuke, Davinci Resolve

Here is another project made at HSLU BA Animation during their VFX module. The purpose of this project was mainly to test the software Houdini and try to do everything in it. So as a first time using it, I wanted something simple… which turned out to be something quite elaborate. I learned how to model procedurally, to texture procedurally in Houdini, to instance lights and control their parameter procedurally, etc. I wanted to have a creepy Hotel like in the video game Control. Some “New Weird” architecture moving in a dangerous way. I really liked working with Houdini, especially when Tim, our teacher, is here to help you… a LOT! Thanks Tim !
