DNEG Live Brief

This live university brief was set by my university in tandem with DNEG. The brief was to create a magical effect using Houdini and Nuke to fit in with the animation supplied to us by DNEG. We were to treat the animation like it had been already approved and time our FX along with it.

All aspects were created in Houdini. DNEG supplied the animation, and environment. Houdini Solaris was used for lighting, shading and rendered using Houdini’s Karma renderer using the USD pipeline. Compositing was done in Nuke.
