A Houdini procedural growing system.

  • The growing effect is using SDF to constantly control the points moving along the surface in the XYZ axis.

  • The primary branch and the secondary branch brought complexity to the system.

  • The torus was broken down with VDB cutting geometries to obtain complex reflection and refraction inside. 

  • The special setup makes sure all pink petals are lying flat when they touch the ground.
