​As part of my early exploration into Houdini, I created a simulation of a ball transforming into liquid. This project introduced me to core concepts including node-based workflows, camera setup, lighting, and FX fundamentals. I rendered the final scene using Solaris and Karma, gaining hands-on experience with Houdini’s lookdev and rendering tools. The project was inspired by a foundational tutorial that helped solidify my understanding of Houdini’s procedural environment.
