500 MILLION PARTICLES - MOBILE WALLPAPER
Industry: Electronics
Studio: IM Creative
Role: 3D Design | Simulation
500 million particles. Built in Houdini to create a flowing particle field that evolves into the mobile wallpaper itself.
Exploring scale, motion, and emergence through simulation.
STILLS FRAMES:
THE CHALLENGE.
For this piece, the challenge was art directing hundreds of millions of particles to create a seamless flow from the environment into the phone screen, building a surreal, immersive transition between the two.
This was achieved through extensive look development in Houdini, carefully dialing in particle count, motion, and flow with precise control over the simulation.
Houdini is an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to achieving this level of precision in simulation and animation.
