Deep City Project’s Post

Trystan Bleuven told us how he created a 3D model of Treasure Planet's John Silver, focusing on the cybernetic parts of the body to replicate the original character's mechanics and movement.

I’ve been developing a unique ASCII 3D Model Wirewrapper - a little experiment that lets you view animated 3D objects rendered entirely in code, reminiscent of something straight out of The Matrix. It’s both mesmerizing and oddly beautiful - simple characters dancing and forming complex living beings.

Marco Amati told us about his new project, Beyond the Valley, a visually captivating procedural landscape. He explored the possibilities of combining PCG with Gaea and Unreal Engine 5: https://lnkd.in/eEV6g6FP #ue5 #unrealengine5 #environmentart #procedural #3dart #3d

I was going through one of my old external hard drives and found an old animation I created 8 years ago. I had uploaded this as a LinkedIn article before (https://lnkd.in/gGhmgyJk), but I never really talked about it in detail. 🤭 This animation shows the #dynamicload simulated for a 3D Truck-Trailer model traveling over a rough #pavement. 😁 The dynamic load was obtained from the vehicle simulation and the instantaneous pavement deflections were obtained using #ViscoWave's Moving Frame Analysis Method (https://lnkd.in/gbbwciXp). Simulation of vehicle motion (for dynamic loads and International Roughnes Index, #IRI) combined with a pavement model (for pavement deflection, stress, and/or strain) can be pretty powerful. 😁 These were the tools used by Dr. Collop and Dr. Cebon for what they called the "Whole-Life Pavement Performance Modelling" (https://lnkd.in/gGY2YuXv). 👍 I also used these tools for #MechanisticEmpirical (ME) #IRI prediction (https://lnkd.in/gssc2ZCv). 😉 It was a lot of fun... although running the simulation itself was quite painful. 😂 What else can we use these tools for? Any thoughts? Please let me know! 😃

RBD Simulation in Houdini | Material Break Test I created a Rigid Body Dynamics simulation in Houdini, testing how bricks, glass, and a wood wall react to impact. The base models were made in Maya and imported into Houdini in FBX format for simulation. Used RBD Material Fracture for realistic break patterns and Glue constraints to control material strength. To make it fun, I added the Houdini Pig Head as the RBD hero object — smashing through all three materials! 🎥 The result: bricks crumble, glass shatters, and wood splits — all simulated procedurally in Houdini. #Houdini #VFX #RBD #Simulation #3D #SideFX #Dynamics #FXArtist #Maya #FBX

The response to the destruction video has been unreal, huge thanks to everyone! 😊 A few people asked how the system works, so here’s a quick look under the hood for a bit more context. It all comes down to a few main steps: • Import a 3D mesh and mask (either from Unreal or created directly in Houdini) • Use the mask to drive boolean geometry cuts • Apply intricate damage details to both the main and detached pieces • Merge and optimize everything back into a single mesh • Generate vertex color masks from the final output for material blending #Houdini #TechArt #Procedural
