Recently, I gave a presentation of this project at FMX where I explain the techniques, logic and reasons behind building up this effect. It was overwhelmingly addictive to play around with and I found it very difficult to make a final decision, but gradually it all came together. ![]() However, over the course of lookdev, I found it to be a dead-end as the beautiful experiments of different colours and material properties kept emerging.ĭuring the discovery of individual shots and camera angles, I started noticing moments where droplets combined or mixed in a way that led me to explore non-complementary material combinations like metal, which would creep into the shader over time. At the very beginning, I wasn’t completely sure about the idea of mixing in metals or messing around with temperature emission and originally, I also had an idea of implementing infection setup into the simulation so the hero shape would gradually become covered with unified material. ![]() But let’s be honest, headaches are part of the routine when it comes to simming ) I know people are usually put off by the idea of working on a heavy sim, but I truly do enjoy the process - especially the challenge/reward ratio and the necessity to be effective with time. It was necessary for me to streamline and optimize a lot, as I knew I would be working with very heavy sims by the end, so I was looking for an elegant design solution and eventually, the idea of a simple primitive as the hero shape came to be. At the beginning, it all started just by dropping references and old R&D's together and feeling out what I could vibe with.Īs it was for Houdini Connect, I wanted to emphasize the idea of things being merged, mixed and brought together and as I was drafting ideas, it seemed natural to also integrate some subtle analogy to SideFX and Houdini branding. He is a great artist and I felt good, knowing he would add something valuable to the whole project. The trust and freedom I was given was motivating, so I felt I had an opportunity to do something worthwhile and I also got the chance to meet and collaborate with Jonas. With all the amazing people there, I had the best life experience as I was able to grow personally and progress with my craft. I packed over the weekend and head out to London, where I have worked for the past four years. Then suddenly, before the following month ended, I was asked if I could join FutureDeluxe on a freelance project. Unfortunately, in both cases they didn’t need more artists, so at the end of August 2017, I returned to Czech Republic a bit disappointed I might add. It was a naive idea that I would make it this way, but the experience of walking into places was encouraging, although a few times I wasn’t even let into the building :DĪfter this trip from which I met quite a few interesting people, I managed to schedule an interview in London with Territory Studio, thanks to a recommendation and then later on, at FutureDeluxe as well. During my travels, I managed to sit down with different studios and individuals who - even though were very accommodating - couldn’t offer any specific jobs. My good friend who was in LA at the time made me feel motivated to try and push myself out there, and so in the summer of 2017, I went on a trip to NY, LA and Vancouver on a tourist visa. ![]() ![]() One of my dreams was living and working in Canada (Vancouver) or perhaps, United States. Sadly, none of my schools supported the Erasmus Program. I always wanted to live abroad, as I didn’t have the chance while I was studying in Prague.
