Alpha ChromaticaTICA 0039
Lincoln Dupree, our freelance FX artist, brought this shot to life using SideFX Houdini FX’s SOP (Surface Operators) level to simulate tire smoke.
The setup is a blend of precision and artistry, leveraging nodes like Pyro Solver, Volume Rasterize Attributes, and meticulous attribwrangles to shape the behavior of smoke.
Every detail, from density and temperature to force, was carefully tuned for realistic interaction with the car’s motion.
This marks a first for Alpha Chromatica Education (ACE) : an in-house FX project where Ganz could hand off FX renders to ACE Class 3 & 4 compers for integration.
It’s been a technical learning experience for all, with Lincoln’s efforts setting a high standard for future FX projects.
Small-scale, high-quality projects like this define our focus, where every detail matters. Every pixel here is a step toward mastering photorealism.
Stay tuned for the final composite!
