So at least the director that how it is at some point. And I think Kosinski has a background in CGI if I remember correctly.

Explorations in Houdini – A Visual Journey - Tobias Gallé

Just published a collection of my Houdini renderings on Behance – a visual snapshot of my learning journey with procedural design. Check it out here:

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.

So excited that you will finally get to see this glorious film by some jerk named @sethworley.bsky.social.

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.

This looks great!! After seeing this I definitely need to dive deeper into the toon shaders in Redshift.
Thanks for the motivation boost.
