Houdini FX for Film CGI

I have a fully computer-generated shot for a film sequence that needs a high-calibre Houdini effect. Because everything in the scene is synthetic, you will have complete control over lighting, scale, and timing without the complications of live-action plates. I’ll supply the base 3D assets, camera layout, and the look-dev references; you handle the simulation, shot integration, and delivery of clean caches plus a preview render.

The exact phenomenon—fire, water, destruction, or something more abstract—will be finalised with you once I’ve seen your reel, so bring your creative ideas. What matters is a photoreal finish that cuts seamlessly into a cinematic edit. Houdini (19.5 or newer) is mandatory; Karma, Mantra, Redshift, or Arnold are all viable for look-dev, as long as the final VDB/ABC caches and an EXR turn-over are included.

Deliverables need to hit these marks:
• Houdini project file with clearly named nodes and no missing dependencies
• Simulation caches ready for farm rendering
• A beauty pass play-blast plus a final EXR sequence for approval

Once the effect matches the reference and passes a round of notes, I’ll sign off. Let’s create a standout visual moment.
