Description:
I had this idea in high school when this song came out (there are some real bangers back then which always got my imagination going). This challenge reminded me of that and I recently did a project using FluidNinja which had some setups in Niagara that would allow for this concept. I put together a proof of concept with their live version:
^ EARLY TESTS ^
I kept tweaking the setup, eventually using the VFX baking version of FluidNinja, and adding custom controls for fog, colour gradients, height, and time. While I love FluidNinja Live, I really needed the baked fluid simulations to hit the timing of the song. I unfortunately had to cut a lot of things due to time, such as interactive fog and some lighting ideas, but was pretty pleased with the final result. I may do a more refined version in the future but for now, here is my submission for the challenge.
Hope you enjoy!
