The main bolt is pretty cheap, but the branches are really expensive to generate.

Figuring out particle adjacency so I can derive normals for the dynamic mesh.
each color line points to one of it's 4 neighbours (if it has any)

WIP ! Crafting a new FX for a Soul Spectral bow & arrow FX with @simonboelpaep.bsky.social 🏹.
Swipe to see the little journey from Storyboard to ongoing production.
Aiming for that ghostly vibe by blending meshes from #houdini into #niagara 👻.
More to come !

Hello World! 👋
I’m Florian, a 3D / FX Artist fresh out of CGAcademy (BE). New here :
www.artstation.com/beerman_74
My focus? Blending Houdini’s procedural power with Unreal Engine’s real-time capabilities.
I’ll be sharing my R&D and finished projects here

A personal piece. I want to create a buff or heal with a sea theme.
It's fun to try to make water look more semi-realistic.
And I remembered I have an account here - -;;

More niagara dynamic mesh experiments.
