Houdini Made Me Do It | Will MacNeil | OFFF HIVE 2022

A look at how designer Will MacNeil’s whole approach to 3D art changed when he started using Houdini.
Will MacNeil is a Design Director in The Mill’s Experience department, a generative art hobbyist and overall Houdini lover. In this talk he’ll take you through several projects including the Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony, The Death Stranding Wall installation for Kojima Studios and films for Riot Games as well as his personal projects such as Stroke-It, a tool for making oil painting effects in Houdini, and D’istral, a system that generates paintings based on live weather data. He’ll show how Houdini made some of these near-impossible projects possible.
