Floating
Ruins.
Imagined architecture explored through environment concepts, render passes, and compositing studies.
Workflow & credits
Architecture, destruction, and compositing.
Buildings were modeled and UV-mapped in Houdini using SOP Boolean operations. The FX use Bullet destruction, Boolean fracturing, debris particles and geometry, and Pyro smoke. Rendering was completed with V-Ray in Maya, and compositing in Nuke.
Concept: Sean Hargreaves
