Objective:
A project I did for the XR Motion community challenge, with the theme of Floral Cosmos. I used a tutorial from Danny Laursen to build my flower rig in Houdini. As a metalsmith, I made many pieces with a lotus theme, but now I bring that to 3D, and I am able to capture their beautiful, delicate essence.

Process:
The rig for the flower was built in Houdini along with the animated spirals. Then I brought all of these elements into Cinema 4D with some Xparticles for the diamond accents, render in Redshift with compositing in AfterEffects.
