Houdini FX | Destruction

HI! I am a Houdini FX artist working mainly with RBD and pyro simulations. So yes.. I enjoy breaking things and blowing them up. I started VFX at Capilano in this program following my love of early Star Wars and Lord of the Rings (among many others) and thought I would try my hand at creating impossible visuals for the big screen. To my surprise, I found that some of the best parts of working on destruction and explosions is the troubleshooting and finding ways to work around issues that wouldn’t normally be apparent and that making things look pretty is only the half of it! I also really enjoy collaboration and experimenting with new techniques as the learning process keeps things fresh. Can’t wait for the next adventure!
