🦇 Bat and Crowd Simulation in Houdini & Karma
The KA_Baekhyun_Pineapple_Slice project, created for the Vinyl company, demonstrates the power of procedural animation and simulation. With a focus on crowd and bat simulations, this project uses Houdini’s procedural tools to create complex simulations that reflect the energetic beats of Baekhyun’s "Pineapple Slice," bringing the music to life through motion and interaction.🎼

Crowd Simulation:
One of the key elements of this project was the use of crowd simulation, where I employed Houdini’s crowd solver to control the movement of multiple agents. The agents were given behavior-driven animations, with variations added to ensure that each character felt unique. The simulation was designed to mimic natural, random crowd movements, adding realism to the scene.
This project was rendered using Karma, Houdini’s high-performance, physically-based renderer.
