Hasta La Motion!

This one started off as an experiment to see what I could make if I used some math functions to affect the points of a line to draw out their graph. As I worked with it I found that some of the geometry that was coming out was incredibly complex and looked amazing. They also tended to look unmistakably like some sci-fi ships that I have seen in movies and tv shows. I figure that using this method someone could create a whole fleet of ships, each one unique, in just a few minutes. Also, all of the meshes tend to come out as perfect quads. This should be quite a boon for any texture artists or UV unwrappers who hate messy geometry. I also managed to get a few rather organic looking pieces of geometry. Some started to look like the head of a squid. I am attaching a few things I came up with in a few minutes to wet your appetite.

Thanks for taking a look and be sure to let me know what you all think.

Hey guys, another month another tutorial available on my site. I’ve actually figured out several things I am going to be turning into tutorials, so I may end up coming out with another one sooner than next month. Hurrah. This one is something that I had to figure out how to do for a project I was working on visualizing some math concepts for. Let me know what you think, and if you have any CC for it.

It is available on my site under the tutorial section. AdamFerestad.com

Just letting everyone know, I am posting this on several forums. Thanks.

I would like to make a video of a person smoking.Using particles for smoke in houdini.

it will be Live action footage of a persons face,with some stylized smoke coming out of his mouth (possibly slow motion)

I would like the smoke to interact with the persons lips,and nose as it comes out.

How would I approach this?,is it worth modelling a head and tracking it to the live action face,and then using that to make the smoke interact with the face..Or does anyone have a better (or simpler) solution?

I have attached an image of the effect i’m going for.

thanks in advance for your help.
