I got to represent Scotland for Houdini Equinox in September. Thanks to SideFX and the Scottish HUG for inviting me to present a talk. I chose to talk about all things plant growth FX.

This is my final Uni project. My research project being 'How Houdini's procedural tool sets can develop the best visual outcome of an effect.

The project was successful in achieving a first class honors degree... And learning how to make a bunch of effects in a short time 💥

I would like to share my new demo reel, as I approach the end of my time at university 🎓

There is a mixture of different types of projects I have created all utilizing the power of Houdini.

Please give it a watch if you have the time 🙌

Go check out Zibra VDB folks! Thank you for sharing my work:D

[Zibra AI @ZibraAI]

We’re proudly sharing amazing demos our users create and here’s a sneak peek into the upcoming project by @jonnyboy4all.

Jonathan Formosa is currently focused on Houdini FX, and recently was trying to learn more about integrating FX elements from Houdini into realtime render engines like Unreal 5. The project Jonathan is working on at the moment includes the bomb fuse, all rendered in Unreal Engine 5.

In his own words: ‘ZibraVDB has made it super easy to import VDB assets from Houdini into Unreal 5’.

Can’t wait to see the full project and incredibly happy to know ZibraVDB improves workflows for our users.

Very sad to hear that Axis studios is going into administration. I have been lucky enough to go through mentoring with them, learned from many amazing Artists at the studio. It's a huge blow to the animation industry in Scotland

The RCDOM Youth pilgrimage has arrived in Assisi! After Mass at the Basilica of S. Maria Degli Angeli, they had a restful evening and a good sleep before setting off on foot for the steep climb to the Eremo Delle Carceri, where St Francis would often go to pray. @rcmotherwell

@HdbpIo Is the website down? I haven't been able to access it for a while, I was trying to use it today but no luck🫤

[Jonathan Formosa @jonnyboy4all]

This is a personal project I have been working on for a few months, inspired by studio Ghibli. The focus of this project was to learn growth FX with #sidefx #Houdini.

Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback, and my Mentor Josh Rizzo who as guided me along the way!🌱

[Jonathan Formosa @jonnyboy4all]

This is a project I have been working on for some time, inspired by Phantom of the Opera, about 5 months on and off, I have posted my first draft, and my final render. I have had guidance from many artists on this shot and I'm very pleased with the result:D #Houdini #3DCG

[Jonathan Formosa @jonnyboy4all]

I was challenged with a 3 hour speed test, the brief was "power up" this is what I came up with. All done in #houdini. Enjoy 💥
