This project was designed as a FX research project to further develop and refine the technical skillsets to create believable effects. A broad range of particle, rbd and pyro effects were created in addition to some Houdini HDAs that helped speed up the process. The project was realized using a USD workflow and was rendered in Karma with CPU and XPU.
