MY JOURNEY INTO HOUDINI

STYLISED TREE INSPIRED BY ARY AND THE SECRET OF SEASONS

Reference

Today I was inspired by the game Ary and the secret of seasons (view here). When I saw the houdini connect video of eXiin about using Houdini with their upcoming game (view here), I was interested in the workflow of their tree props. I examined the tree (picture below) and started experimenting inside of Houdini.
