WeFX would like to share some of the Houdini workflows used for Netflix's "Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities". Featuring contributions from FX artists Vimal Mallireddy, Rafael Drelich, Darren Lesmana, Mykyta Berezin, Justin Boon, Manidhar Areti, Sisi Huang and -- an intro from Ryan Ng and Laurence Cymet -- this evening will go though lotion simulation for the Lotion Lady character and disintegration effects used for the Keziah witch character.
The presentation will cover how they converted the Lotion Lady asset using the VDB toolset, produced goo effects via FLIP simulation and meshed effectively on an previously animated deforming character. They will also discuss the pitfalls encountered and a few tips and tricks used to overcome them.
They will also discuss the Keziah disintegration workflow. Starting with a complex model and how they fractured and simulated this complex asset with the RBD toolset combined with Vellum simulations.
