Each time I have a chance to collaborate with @sidefxhoudini I think of my whole #houdini journey. First time I had a chance to witness Houdini Hive was in 2017 at LA #siggraph where I got my hands on my first Houdini t-shirt that is still holding with only one little hole💪

Another week - Discovery Age - The Origins

[The Origins @theorigins_xyz]

February 28, 2014. Mt. Gox, once the biggest Bitcoin exchange, files for bankruptcy in Tokyo and says about 850,000 bitcoin are missing.

Discovery, the sixth Age of The Origins.

How a Bitcoin block header becomes a Renaissance piece, made in Houdini by @Spaczech.

[Jakub Spacek @Spaczech]

Great to see this piece of RND living it’s life and finding new audience ✨

Thank you @HoudiniSchool for letting it fly ;)

[Houdini.School @HoudiniSchool]

This is so satisfying Jakub Spacek! 🤩 @Spaczech created this "LIQUID FLUIDUM" experiment using #Houdini. Jakub is an FX Designer whose passion is composing beautiful and pleasing visual effects that artistically represent abstract real-world phenomena.

The week of Feudal Age came to an end :)

Let’s finish with a cute little turntable to celebrate the entry into Historical Epoch.

[The Origins @theorigins_xyz]

There's something fascinating about giving Bitcoin data a form you can almost reach out and touch.

FEUDAL takes that idea somewhere unexpected.

This week I had the pleasure of meeting and connecting with @R4vonus

Discussing state od the digital art and brainstorming on how it can be brought to better light it deserves.

We also talked about his endeavours of developing unique pipeline to store artworks directly on blockchain chain and shared thoughts on how this could benefit the digital art ecosystem in general.

It was also great to hear about his one of a kind experimental procedural art system diven by generative code.

Great boost of optimisim and excitement to keep creating and building💪

[Ravonus @R4vonus]

This is part of why I’m building Keel around generative code.

You’re storing the rules that create the scene. Change the pixel resolution and those same rules can render it at a different level of detail. Trees, terrain, textures—all generated instead of manually making assets for every scale.

The hard part was never making the pixels smaller. It was writing every system behind them and making everything stay consistent as the detail changes.

Procedural generation isn’t new. AI makes the sheer amount of specialized code needed to build this way much more practical.

[Jakub Spacek @Spaczech]

Really proud of the evolving patter system in Feudal Age.

It gives each piece a truly signature look.

Let’s see where this journey leads ;)

[The Origins @theorigins_xyz]

This week's higlight is Fedual Age breakdown, illustrating the evolution and thinking behind the visual language.

Bitcoin didn't need permission to cut its block reward in half.

On November 28, 2012, block 210,000 reduced the subsidy from 50 BTC to 25 BTC, exactly as programmed.

No vote. No committee. Just a rule being enforced.

That moment, reimagined through FEUDAL in The Origins.

What a journey to get here! Time, energy, resources and years of gradual progress.

I am excited, humbled and grateful for where I was able to build this project.

The work continues as I am getting close to the release.

Bitcoin Block Header transformed into Art
2 blocks for every day since 3th of Jan 2009
6 Epochs / 16 Ages

[Jakub Spacek @Spaczech]

@boardyai 😅 you are right about that !

[Jakub Spacek @Spaczech]

Let’s end the week with a bang ✨

Feel like this Dynasty block works uniquely well in this lighting 🤔

[The Origins @theorigins_xyz]

Let’s end this week od the Dynasty Age with a turntable beauty.

Every artwork in The Origins collection connects to a date in Bitcoin history, translated through its blockchain data and a distinct visual language.

@motionpunk1 🤣 Maybe I am getting old

[Jakub Spacek @Spaczech]

For some reason I just really enjoy the idea of an Archive! ... Why do I think of Indiana Jones? :D

[The Origins @theorigins_xyz]

Satoshi didn't announce a goodbye. He simply moved on.

April 23, 2011 marked his final known email. Bitcoin continued without its creator at the centre.

One of its defining moments, preserved through The Origins.

Another Week Another age ✨

[The Origins @theorigins_xyz]

From historical record to artwork.

The Origins uses Bitcoin Block Header data to shape unique pieces across 16 visual Ages.

Today we take a closer look at The Dynasty Age. Time of lost civilisations and the treasures they left behind.

[Jakub Spacek @Spaczech]

This week I'll be showcasing the Dynasty Age and it's behind the scenes, historical event and more.

@hectorVFX How long was the talking time with Claude?

[Jakub Spacek @Spaczech]

Another day Another block

[The Origins @theorigins_xyz]

Week of Prehistoric Age is ending. It continues from Genesis and while it preserves the narrative it still introduces fresh style for its own importance.

The iterations are surprising and always satisfying to witness.

Created with #houdinifx #redshift and lots and lots of data pushed through procedural magic ✨

Stay tuned for next week’s Dynasty Age

[Jakub Spacek @Spaczech]

@Shing_k5 @theorigins_xyz Thanks for the support!

[Jakub Spacek @Spaczech]

@UniverseGuild @theorigins_xyz Will absolutely do! More is coming. Each week another Age

[Jakub Spacek @Spaczech]

So happy how the Prehistoric Age came together.

[The Origins @theorigins_xyz]

This week is about Prehistoric Age and today we are looking at how this visual style moves away from Genesis Age while still holding the notion of continuation within our narrative of evolution.

Aside from myriad of technical obstacles and nuances that had to be fine tuned, one of the important decisions was how to get across the look of first human marks and drawings while still respectign the digital nature of The Origins collection.

Enjoy the sneak peak behind the scenes and into some iterations leading up to the final look.

Join us at our discord for more insights and discover the collection's website to explore all the Ages.
