From Houdini Hive Education Edition originally broadcast on November 12, 2020.

The presentation will focus on the magic crystals project that was set for students by DNEG. I will first talk about my approach for this sort of project. I will then go into the lightning-based effect in more detail and explain my process for creating procedural lightning geometry with a combination VEX and VOPs. I will then explain how I went about adding a sparks simulation on top of the lightning to complete the effect.

Nathan Clark graduated from the University of Bolton with a degree in Visual Effects for TV and Film. Most of the work he does is on the technical side of VFX usually based around Rigging, FX and scripting
