“Appealing Animation” | 3D-Animated Vignette
The purpose of "Appealing Animation’s" creation was to demonstrate one of the many applicabilities of Side FX Houdini to film.
“Appealing Animation” is the joint work of a programmer and an artist; under the hood, much of the low-level technical elements, most notably the premise of the short—the peeling effect—was brought to life by Jon Bourim, as the programmer; chiefly on the visual side, all props were modeled, animated, and with their textures painted by hand, by Christophe Bouchard, as the artist. The two teammates merged and polished each element of the project into a whole, at which point Christophe composited the film into its final look.
Soon after its completion, “Appealing Animation” was featured in the 2020 annual Houdini Student Reel (2:38), on SideFX media platforms, and was used as marketing material by DigiPen Institute of Technology for the private university’s courses on Houdini.
