Hi!
A few months ago, I saw a cute image on Pinterest of a cat drawn in coffee foam. The idea to bring this scene to life came to my mind. It was supposed to be a small project, but it ended up taking months, mostly because of work commitments.
But finally, I finished it and I want to share it.
This project was a challenge for me to learn Houdini tools, and I gained a lot of knowledge about procedural techniques and simulations. However, I couldn’t fully switch to this program, even though it’s amazing. Blender remains my favorite for rendering.
I will continue learning Houdini though - after this project, I still have unfinished business with fluid simulations. But Blender will stay as my main tool, simply because I know and understand how to create anything I imagine in it.
Simulation: Houdini
Render: Cycles
Compositing: Nuke
