Flowing Starry Night,Sunset of Stars
Houdini FX / Media Art
PROJECT OVERVIEW
A painterly flow reinterpreted through Houdini FLIP as two films: a blue star field and a red sunset.
One simulation language was extended into two films with distinct color and movement.
LEE JOON-SUH / CONTRIBUTION
Created the full project from concept and FLIP R&D through look development, lighting, rendering, and finishing.
Planned and directed the concept and visual flow of both films
Simulated fluid velocity and form with Houdini FLIP Solver
Designed look development and lighting for painterly color and particle density
Completed caching, rendering, and After Effects finishing end to end

FINAL VISUAL SEQUENCE
CASE / PROCESS
From production problem to final image
Challenge
The physically driven fluid needed to read as a painterly image rather than a simulation demo.
Process
- Iterated on flow and particle density to distinguish the color and rhythm of the two works.
- Refined the renders in After Effects to align contrast and color for exhibition.
Result
The two final films were produced and exhibited, receiving a second prize.
