[Step-By-Step] Mesh To Grains, sort of :)

Hey guys!

First day of the Summer, yaaayy!

Today we are creating an abstract setup that is based on dynamically generating grains from changing topology of the geo, which visually translates in geo being morphed into the grains :) Lots of creative possibilities, but some skincare or beauty/health products come to my mind.

Heyya guys!

Finally back from vacation and got tons of ideas for future stuff, but today, I wanna show you another option of vellum activation. Usually we used pyro source spread, but if you wan't to trigger random copies - best way to do that - use just a tiiiiiny bit of vex :)

Hey guys!

Who doesn't like cool looking slow-mo destruction? :D Yeah, this is a super popular effect and looks absolutely stunning.

Full Scale Project 002

Full Scale Project Coming Soon ;)

Whats that? :D

Thanks to everyone who voted in the previous poll! Full scale project it is!

I wanna simulate the scenario when a client reaches out to you and his product is not really something usually and something we all have seen quite a lot ;) Here is a midjourney gen for th...

Real Case Scenario 2

Hey guys! Need your opinion, won't take long :)

Would you like me to use AI to create a script for a product, just as the one you get from the client, and see me create a 3D commercial based on that? From script till editing in AE? Can be simple product showcase with just light & camera animation, could be a mashup of all the sim i know :D
