Simulated a burning poster in Houdini using Pyro FX.
Used a VOP SOP for the spreading of the flame front, together with a SOP solver. A cloth solver is used simultaneously for the dropping motion.
Flickering/lighting on the poster was done by reading in point clouds generated from the fire volume and using that to add contributions to the poster’s lighting in a custom shader.
Credits to Peter Quint for his excellent SOP Solver tutorials in Vimeo.

Worked at Wētā FX, Digital Domain 3.0, Sony Pictures Imageworks, MPC, Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), Double Negative
I am a Technical Director with strong interests in both tech and art. My life evolves round VFX, photography, software engineering, tools programming and generally anything that looks / sounds cool.
I have done a variety of CG programming, including fluid sims, muscles, soft/rigid bodies, raytracing etc. These knowledge complement the visual works that I do as a TD in VFX.
I was interviewed by The Straits Times in May 2014 for my VFX work in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
