Harvie and the Magic Museum
|
" 10 year old Harvie is a smart and lively boy with one great ambition: to finish the last and ultimate level of his computer game. But finishing the virtual game turns out to be just the beginning of a very real adventure that takes Harvie, his dog Jerry and reluctant neighbor girl Monica deep into the forgotten realm of the city's old puppet museum. And as Harvie accidentally activates a legendary magic disc, he brings not only the museum and all of its awesome puppets to life, but also its ancient and monstrous puppet master! "
Harvie is an animated feature which has been a lot of fun to work on. For this feature I created various FX setups and tools, including a broad applied electricity tool. I also continued with development of the Houdini pipeline tools I started working on during Deep. |

After the breakdown had been made, we noticed that we had a lot of shots featuring electricity fx. This was designed to visualize the properties of a magical disk, used to bring the museum and it's puppets to life. Because I already had created a useful electricity setup during Deep, I continued working on the setup and made it into a more comprehensive tool that allowed us to quickly generate electricity with various shapes and behavior. The tool relies on point-cloud operations to snap the branches to the input collision geometry and volume operations to prevent the rods from intersecting geometry. The tool was used for various effects ranging from normal lightning to magic beams.Paragraph. Klik hier om te bewerken.
