My personal works now are way more casual with street and natural subjects.

Curation of My Past Photography Works

Winter River FX Breakdown

Kick FX Breakdown

This shot was created in Houdini 20.0 with native flip and whitewater tools. And the comp was done in Nuke.

I was responsible for all aspects.

I will try to breakdown this shot in detail in this post. If you have any question, feel free to reach out, you can find my contact info in my profile.

### Process

It's a recreation of a tutorial from [Entagma](https://youtu.be/OrdH-kEUX1M).

I created a sphere and use pyro source spread to simulate the pop area of the bubble.

```cv

{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FHy52jUV6k3SNpFwxOu1q%2Fb0ff1f64-02e9-4436-8cd2-57e0f435788a.png?alt=media&token=a17d915d-a325-4c1d-ac39-972f664fbd27","id":"b0ff1f64-02e9-4436-8cd2-57e0f435788a","width":511,"height":478,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

And based on the burn attribute, I separated the part where it's greater than 0.1; with the help of some vex code and clip node.

```cv

{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FHy52jUV6k3SNpFwxOu1q%2F63126ae3-b361-4205-8092-178ec6adac15.png?alt=media&token=601d8d5a-7e7d-48cc-9451-afe23772d8db","id":"63126ae3-b361-4205-8092-178ec6adac15","width":768,"height":740,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false},{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FHy52jUV6k3SNpFwxOu1q%2F5f262e47-ab64-48ed-bbea-1bd3ce760a55.png?alt=media&token=8866d5a9-d353-4c15-af47-7d40c26ad744","id":"5f262e47-ab64-48ed-bbea-1bd3ce760a55","width":201,"height":432,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

For the poping part, I used a wrangle to activate the simulation by finding if the particles have a nearpoint that's closer than 0.01 on the pop area; and adding strong forces to those that do.

```cv

{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FHy52jUV6k3SNpFwxOu1q%2F98da1ba3-b5d9-4ead-8013-eec03d8f6879.png?alt=media&token=1511e663-8c0b-44bb-9f02-7ba24b552c69","id":"98da1ba3-b5d9-4ead-8013-eec03d8f6879","width":609,"height":549,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

And finally I added some mountain displacement on to the bubble for realism. And I blurred the normal of the edges where the poping flip sim connecting with the bubble surface.

And for the material, just play around with the thin-film setting, both IOR and thickness.

### Final Result

### **Preparation and Low-Res Sim**

There are several layers that go into creating a stormy ocean. I started with bigger waves and then moved to smaller details. I used a combination of 2 ocean spectrum. It's just a matter of playing with the settings and noising them up. And I saved the spectrum out as houdini geo so in the future I can use them to displace my flip sim in the future.

```

Moving on to flip sim. I used the shelf tool to create the wave tank. It contained another ocean spectrum that had nothing to do with the big wave. So I was only using it for detailed flip advection. Still I needed to match the wind direction and stuff but other settings I focused on crips movement.

```cv

{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FSfOsI0OtWsUYouRm7Q0J%2Fa7602000-9acc-42b8-84b5-876a9e5cdac1.png?alt=media&token=15e2b3d4-e92c-4089-9c42-4162404b3ff8","id":"a7602000-9acc-42b8-84b5-876a9e5cdac1","width":880,"height":784,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

If the Flip nodes are created from the shelf tool, the parameters in Flip dop will be all properly linked up, All I need to do is to prepare some extra forces. All I did are to add some air resistance, to group the droplets, and to use some wind to affect it.

```cv

{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FSfOsI0OtWsUYouRm7Q0J%2Fc6a1cb6b-e63d-4256-885f-948911e4afcc.png?alt=media&token=cd8f5ba1-fe01-4908-ac49-c6339bd4aaca","id":"c6a1cb6b-e63d-4256-885f-948911e4afcc","width":392,"height":327,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

For the first simulation, I went quite low-res. It's only for previewing how the particles are moving. And it's faster to iterate versions. When that's done, I can now bring in the big wave grid to point deform the flat tank particles.

```

With this, I can bring in the collision geometries to animate to collide/follow the wave movement. I have 2 flippies to animate, one is kinda surfing and the other is just falling from the sky.  I added a pyro burst source and rasterized it at where the flippy is crushing into the ocean, so I could use it to advect some extra splashes in my hi-res sim.

### **Hi-Res Sim and Meshing**

When the collisions are ready, I moved to hi-res simulation. It really took a long time and a lot of disk space to complete, so it's quite important to stay at low-res to refine the shapes. And then I moved to meshing. I set the pscale based on velocity and vorticity.

```cv

{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FSfOsI0OtWsUYouRm7Q0J%2F4d272811-5dab-4421-9df9-caea0e18752a.png?alt=media&token=8c3c10a0-aa51-48c2-8001-862802beb898","id":"4d272811-5dab-4421-9df9-caea0e18752a","width":679,"height":387,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

And then I generate hi-res vdb with particles, and did a sdf union with the low-res vdb from fluid compress surface.

```cv

{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FSfOsI0OtWsUYouRm7Q0J%2F778dd2df-59b0-4eb5-ada8-77fe9ca17453.png?alt=media&token=c428a848-a64d-4240-bb29-c874170375f3","id":"778dd2df-59b0-4eb5-ada8-77fe9ca17453","width":335,"height":476,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

And then I deleted the boundary part and only kept the surface of the mesh. After that I transferred the velocity and vorticity back to the surface mesh.

```

And then I use flatten edge of the mesh so that I can use the spectrum file to distort it instead of using the actual flip sim. Because by doing this, I can match different area perfectly without obvious border. Everything will match the spectrum shape.

I can use the ocean sample layers node in vop to distort the edge position (which is flatten from the flip mesh) with the initial tank spectrum (crips wave shapes).

```

And then used a similar set up to distort the whole ocean with big waves spectrum.(big movement shapes)

```cv
gallery
{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FSfOsI0OtWsUYouRm7Q0J%2Fa379b686-f131-42b1-adcf-d71af7d12c75.png?alt=media&token=c591ddc7-7a21-467c-8ec2-2a30e3b73687","id":"a379b686-f131-42b1-adcf-d71af7d12c75","width":830,"height":480,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

And use some fit range we can color the mesh with velocity and vorticity.

```cv
gallery
{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FSfOsI0OtWsUYouRm7Q0J%2Fff5d6866-8559-40f5-ba5e-7ecf26d78553.png?alt=media&token=21a15065-0b29-4e44-b950-a7a398f99e6f","id":"ff5d6866-8559-40f5-ba5e-7ecf26d78553","width":702,"height":784,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

Meshing also takes quite a long time so it's better to do a file cache for it.

And then I copied the whole setup just with a lower resolution settings to do another simulation and meshing at mid ground position. With the spectrum distortion matching perfectly, it's really a nice transition and from the camera position it's not possible to tell.

```cv

```

### White Water Simulation

I brought it the fluid compress cache and used it to generate white water source. It's quite some heavy process so it's better to cache it.

```cv
gallery
{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FSfOsI0OtWsUYouRm7Q0J%2Fa5d5bfb8-3fc6-40f0-937f-8a464c054399.png?alt=media&token=515ff509-c008-4638-90a2-a3fe6512e690","id":"a5d5bfb8-3fc6-40f0-937f-8a464c054399","width":1235,"height":531,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

But the simulation itself isn't too complicated, I just add some pop wind to affect the spary particles. Never forget to turn on the state attributes for spray, bubble, and foam separation.

```cv
gallery
{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FSfOsI0OtWsUYouRm7Q0J%2Fee68b3ba-6b19-4262-b975-ca5eb46ac325.png?alt=media&token=3b8ac747-eee0-4501-bbc3-6de0c22d12c7","id":"ee68b3ba-6b19-4262-b975-ca5eb46ac325","width":500,"height":243,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

Because I don't have a powerful computer, I splitted the simulation into 3 parts and just altered the seed and then combine them together for a denser foam look. But it's just way too disk heavy to store all the data, so I have to compromise on the front close up density.

I used the same nodes from flip meshing to distort the white water particles with spectrum so they match the waves.

And then I plugged in the newest white water post process node from Houdini 20 to setup density, and pscale from the age and life attributes.

```cv
gallery
{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FSfOsI0OtWsUYouRm7Q0J%2Fc644d6fb-778d-4fe6-af1b-50b5567a0cfd.png?alt=media&token=ce60a0b4-39ef-4f80-9972-47b6e81018dd","id":"c644d6fb-778d-4fe6-af1b-50b5567a0cfd","width":508,"height":763,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

I feel like white water is quite forgiving and there's a lot of freedom in doing it. It really came down to which part I want to enhance. So I added some  more on where the flippies are interacting with the water. And because it's just points rendered as volume, I can use simple pop sim or regular flip sim also depending on what effects I'm looking for.

### Background Ocean

The far background ocean was just a grid with displacement. But it's a bit unusual for my case. Normally if using a heightfield to generate the ocean geo, I can displace the grid in render. But since I was using the spectrum, I have to subdivide the grid in sop context and then deform it in the same way as the flip and white water.

And I used a ocean foam node to generate some simple whitewater effect, for very far background, it's good enough.

```

### **Rendering in Solaris**

To better manage it, I split the renders into different parts, the first part is the geometry, I set all the white water to indirect only, or phantom in render geometry settings. So I can only have the geo but the white water shadow will still affect the look. It's probably pretty minor and doesn't have to be set up like this tho.

```

And then I rendered the main white water with geometry as holdout matte.

```

And then I rendered out the smoke and the extra splashes with the similar settings.

Compositing is quite straight forward and easy, just put the elements together and we have it.

Mood Reel  Mar. 2023

This shot was a set extension shot of a live action footage. It was 3D tracked Nuke and exported to Maya and Houdini for assets modeling and effect simulation.

I was responsible for all aspects except for the footage used in this shot.

I will try to breakdown this shot in detail in this post. If you have any question, feel free to reach out, you can find my contact info in my profile.

### **Preparation**

Unlike my other projects, this one actually started in Nuke. I got this hand held footage from other people.

```cv

```

Upon import, because I was using ACES 1.2 as my system environment variable, I needed to set my input transform correctly first to view the right color.

```cv

```

I did a distortion analysis and a camera track to the footage, and then created a 3D scene in Nuke.

```

And then I put a card on the windows position to validate if the track was accurate.

```

When I was happy with the track, I put down a pointcloud generator to extract the geometry approximation of the scene.

```cv

```

And then I exported the pointcloud and the camera as a fbx file and brought them into Maya for modeling before transferred to Houdini for effects.

### **Simulation**

The explosion was an Axiom simulation. it was actually my first time using it, and since then I've been keep using it. It was very fast and intuitive to use. The emitter was just some points with noised up velocity. But I only rasterized density for the source because I wanted to have a delay kick of fire coming out. So I made the temperature came in as an influence field a few frames after the density.

In the solver, I animated the disturbance, turbulence settings to achieve the look I wanted. And my combustion settings were set up that almost all the fuels ignited when the temperature came in.

And then I moved on to RBD simulation.

There were 2 parts I fractured, wood and glass. I was using the RBD material fracture SOP tool with wood and glass presets.

```cv

```

I was using SOP bullet solvers for RBD simulation as well. I used a geometry VOP to sample nearpoint velocity from the emitters and then scaled it up before added it back to the force attribute. And I blasted the parts that were flying out too far to avoid unnecessary calculation.

```cv

{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FmJcSsHNQDRpGIpctEAR1%2F445edabe-0a92-40ce-82f2-b3a7e8b7578a.png?alt=media&token=7641ccf4-5536-4dcd-8287-f18495585b84","id":"445edabe-0a92-40ce-82f2-b3a7e8b7578a","width":966,"height":444,"filename":"image.png","type":"image/png","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

If I were to redo this, I would probably just advect them by volume which probably makes more sense and intuitive.

The result was a bit extreme and stylized; maybe not the most realistic. I think they might be flying out too far from the windows.

```cv

{"layout":"hscroll","images":[{"src":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/maitake-project.appspot.com/o/pages%2FDBeO7kl7tyfFK8FWLdhMGBzCSXI2%2FmJcSsHNQDRpGIpctEAR1%2F06b57beb-0f64-4ccc-b185-6a1d46a0388f.mp4?alt=media&token=f6b5999d-5337-4794-8bc4-3ac34f7609db","id":"06b57beb-0f64-4ccc-b185-6a1d46a0388f","width":1280,"height":720,"filename":"RBDVis.mp4","type":"video/mp4","caption":"","border":false}]}
```

But those were all the CG elements in this shot.

### **Rendering**

This shot was rendering in Solaris with Karma CPU mostly. I downloaded an Hdri from [polyhaven](https://polyhaven.com) that looked similar to the back ground footage and added some fill light to match it. And the element in this scene ware all moving quite fast, hence velocity blur were enabled. But I think the explosion was probably the only one that needed it.

```

The proxy building geometry was configured as matte in holdout mode.

Since this shot was undistorted in Nuke before 3D track. I would need to re-distort the render before compositing it back to the original video. I applied an over scan on the render camera.

### Compositing

The rendered sequence then went back in Nuke for compositing. I reapplied the lens distortion and reformatted it back to correct resolution. Below is just the demonstration, of course it also needed to went through AOV gradings and corrections first before merging back to the node tree.

```

I also rendered the shadow pass AOV and used it as a mask to do some more exposure correction to tie things together. And that's all to it for compositing.
