  • Did you use Houdini?
    Yes. but only for smoke flipbook, most of work done with blender.

  • Description

In Asian philosophy, there is something called the Five Elements.
The idea is that the changes in the universe are represented by the five elements: Soil, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire.
I was inspired by this to depict a shaman character casting elemental spells.

Signature idea for this FX is morphing with geometry cache.
I want to represent the five elements as morphing geometry.
I made Shapekey animation with blender and export as Alembic
