I decided to tackle moving objects and camera movements for this project. The inspiration came from a video I saw while scrolling on social media (once I find it I will post it here) where a flower's pedals unfold and fall to the ground. For the pedal effects, I used bend and offset nodes to create the unfolding effect. I also used some VEX to get better control over how unfolding velocity and how they rotated. I also utilized the MOPS nodes to control the pedal's size as they fell down and eventually disappeared. Within Solaris, I build a simple scene around the flower so that it is in a woodsy environment. The big takeaways of this project for me were a better understanding of Houdini as a whole as well as what challenges artists face when building out a scene.
