The Creative Bloq team is made up of a group of design fans, and has changed and evolved since Creative Bloq began back in 2012.

Project Henshin! is my artistic and metaphorical transformation, representing my exciting leap from Cinema 4D to the captivating world of Houdini. 'Henshin', a beloved term in Japanese anime for initiating electrifying transformation scenes, fittingly translates to 'transformation'.

Throughout the project, I typically adopt a hybrid procedural setup for efficiency. For instance, the altar arch-shaped screen begins with curves drawn in Rhino by tracing a reference image. Since Houdini's curve drawing utilities are relatively primitive compared to Rhino, I prefer to do any line or curve drawings in Rhino first. This included the backbone curves of the altar screens as well as the profile/section curves. Later, I bring them into Houdini either as FBX or IGES .

Coming from Cinema 4D, what tripped me up rendering in Houdini was object organisation and motion blur. Managing objects in the OBJ context can quickly get messy – unlike LOPs where everything is node-based and has to be interconnected, everything in OBJ is loosely positioned. I used Bundles to manage my OBJ render sets in Houdini OBJ Redshift; this allows me to render and debug objects separately whenever necessary.
