Tfw updating your graphics card drivers takes your 1 hour Karma XPU render time down to 2 MINUTES. 😊

@j7369 Looks cool! :-)

VFX people, there's a hidden @sidefx Houdini easter egg in this video. Can you spot it? 😂

2 sick af releases out this week!

The Zardonic album Superstars, feat. our collab 'Death By The Bassline', dropped today on @MNRKHeavy 😤

And the @fixtmusic / @FixtNoir comp Signals dropped 3 days ago, feat. my remix of 'The Freefall' by @Torontoisbroken + @bvlvncemusic 🔥

[Keith Kamholz @KeithKamholz]

Truly weird that this is my last week at DNEG, after spending the past 7 years there. Time flies! Big ups to all the awesome people I've worked with there.

Moving on to an FX Supe position at The Mill starting next week, & really looking forward to joining the team! 😊

[Keith Kamholz @KeithKamholz]

@dayton_fx @TheBarfu Thanks for the shout! Glad people have been finding that useful. 😊

Just re-enabled the Patreon private mentorship tier (& made it cheaper), and added an unlimited messaging tier for suggestions/tips/etc.

Houdini people feel free to hmu if you're interested in that extra support. 🙂

Also happy to provide music prod & audio engineering support🎶

[Keith Kamholz @KeithKamholz]

@lizardUnicorn Also, that project idea sounds amazing, would love to see those fx concepts! 🙂

[Keith Kamholz @KeithKamholz]

Finally getting into Karma rendering for this project.

Stylized destruction of more 3d scans coming soon, along with a destruction-heavy proper music video & lots of VFX tutorial content for it. 🙂

'BREAKDOWN' - DECEMBER 9

@Biomechanimal and I put together the heaviest DNB track on the planet.
Featuring a guest verse from Lecture.
Only on @hybridblak 😤

[Keith Kamholz @KeithKamholz]

@lizardUnicorn I was surprised at how difficult it was to get a workable scan out of Meshroom when just taking a bunch of photos around sitting person. The photogrammetry can go wrong easily.

I'm sure it can be done, but for this we worked with @FBFX_Ltd / @FBFXDigital for these awesome scans.

[Keith Kamholz @KeithKamholz]

Receiving 3d scan assets at inconsistent scales is annoying, but they actually look pretty f'n cool all merged together. 🙂

@MechanicalVein x @Biomechanimal 🔥
@hybridblak Records

[Keith Kamholz @KeithKamholz]

I really need to get better about shouting out my Houdini Patreon posts, I haven't posted about any of it on social media for a while!

Latest post is a pretty advanced one, exploring recursive fracturing & invoked compile blocks.

Might make a custom HDA for this. 🙂

@MarySafroArt Awesome, congrats!

[HYBRID BLAK ::: BLAKTRACKS II - OUT NOW @hybridblak]

Just dropped today... some seriously atmospheric and moody dark bass vibes from @RetiredOrphan & @EmilPengt .

Awesome soundtrack for the apocalypse, give it a listen & share! 🖤

[Keith Kamholz @KeithKamholz]

Love it when my music & VFX worlds collide. Looking forward to doing some cool Houdini things for this project. :-)

[Mechanical Vein @MechanicalVein]

Kicked off a very cool project this week, working on a video for a new collab with @Biomechanimal 🔥

Big ups to @FBFX_Ltd / @FBFXDigital for hooking us up with their awesome 3d scanning tech, and for being excellent to work with! 🙌

@hybridblak Records

[Keith Kamholz @KeithKamholz]

@NatLok999 Love these, very cool!

[Keith Kamholz @KeithKamholz]

Did a bit of @redshift3d + @sidefx #Houdini rendering for this @hybridblak compilation teaser. Always down for the shiny black shader aesthetic & glitch fx. 😈

[HYBRID BLAK ::: BLAKTRACKS II - OUT NOW @hybridblak]

Proud to finally unveil our latest project: BLAKTRACKS II

[Keith Kamholz @KeithKamholz]

All of this music-related work, plus regular work & my VFX Patreon & building a massive new Houdini course... it's been quite an onslaught but it's all exciting stuff! 🤘

[HYBRID BLAK ::: BLAKTRACKS II - OUT NOW @hybridblak]

No new music dropping today for Bandcamp Friday, but we don't feel bad about it after having dropped new stuff every single week in August!

Hope you've been enjoying the barrage as much as we have! 🔥
