In this video I'm showing my custom build that I use for SideFx Houdini 3D Visual Effects software. I explain and compare the latest high powered hardware build options for Houdini software to this more affordable alternative which uses dual Xeon cpu's.

Like or comment if you think we should add this one to the fleet in the film. This design idea came out of nowhere a few days ago. I made this is in 2 days. 20 hrs total. It's a watertight STL and just about ready to send to the 3d printers for prototyping.

This torpedo's designers eliminated the underwater drag.

Shot 1 vs Shot 2. The scene will have to take place at dusk for better environment lighting on an open water ocean.

That's our #supercavitation ship we're creating in 3D and real life scale models! This shot in Houdini still needs way better lighting and a high speed wake with white water, mist, spray& more

Setting up a shot in Houdini with our new #supercavitation stealth ship that will be in our upcoming film and scale models. Who likes action movies?

Couldn't be happier with how our #supercavitation ship is developing in the Houdini scene set up yesterday. Here's a peek at a shot from a chase sequence currently being created.
