Back at it with Houdini.
What started as casual tinkering turned into this ribbon-like chaos of color and translucency.
Love how even tiny sim artifacts become creative highlights—and how attributes feed into shaders for wild colors, ramps, and that subsurface glow.

I've been exploring the intersection of structure and chaos in Houdini, and this latest piece, "Space Yarn," emerged from that. It reminds me of neural networks, cosmic filaments, or maybe just the tangled state of my thoughts after long Houdini sessions.

AE Tip:

If you need to change the size of a comp, say from 1920x1080 to 4k AND you want all the layers to scale up with it...

1. Go to File > Scripts > Run > Scale Composition.jsx
2. Change the width, height, or just say 2 for Scale

Voila 🪄
