Inspired by the work of photographer
Charles Helleu, our 3D department created this experimental short. Led
by Jan Elsner who directed the film, the team took full advantage of
the tools they have at hand: Softimage, Houdini and rendered with
Arnold.
It began as a test to see how light scatters within a smoke volume but I couldn't resist having some fun with it. Rendered using brute force GI and light emitting materials.
