About the project
Spheres on Spheres.
Built in Houdini, this experimental piece features massive soft spheres rotating across the largest spherical LED screen in the United States in Las Vegas. Created as a showcase of my work on large-scale LED displays, the project explores scale, motion, and immersive visual design.

The Challenge
The challenge was art directing hundreds of spheres moving in unison, creating a sense of force as they collide dynamically against the glass surface. This was achieved through extensive look development and simulation work in Houdini, carefully dialing in the motion, flow, and timing with precise control over the dynamics.
Process: Houdini & Cinema 4D
Houdini is an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to achieving this level of precision in simulation and animation. Coupled with Cinema 4D and Redshift, it seamlessly integrates and goes from art direction to render.
