Riverbed

I'm thrilled to present my mentorship project "Riverbed" made during my studies at Think Tank Training Centre. This is a film environment project made mainly in Houdini, assembled in Solaris.
This project is inspired by the concept art Riverbed - Horizon Call of the Mountain by Claudio Della Neve

My main goal in this project was to create a realistic plane crash site that tells a compelling story, and also to deepen my understanding of Houdini Solaris. All the shots were rendered with Karma CPU.
I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to my mentor, Marco Lusardi, for teaching me Houdini Solaris and all the knowledge. All his guidance, feedback, and encouragement are invaluable, and I grew so much during the term.

Special thanks to Xin Wen, Sylvia Cheng, Jon Catapia, and all the global mentors, as well as my friends and the Think Tank staff, for their continuous support throughout the production.
