I love experimenting with the laws of physics. CGI allows me to break the rules of reality and achieve the vision I have in mind with extreme precision. As I dive deeper into Houdini, I'm able to express my ideas in a more accurate way.For this piece, I used the new MPM solver for the first time. The main challenge was transforming the ball into liquid while maintaining its furry material qualities. Instancing hair on deforming geometry was tricky, but eventually, I was able to hack my way through it.

Also, this was my first time rendering in Karma. I liked it a lot! I'll probably be sticking with it for my next projects.
