Arrival to Helix Prime. Capital City of the universe.
Sunset on Helix Prime. The capital city has a good night life.
City in the clouds. Doesn't make a whole lot of physical sense, but that's the joy of science fiction!
Helix form, glowing in the dark.
I love high contrast black and white photos. I couldn't resist doing a version like that.
I wanted to explore and get more comfortable with Houdini as a new tool for my workflow. I developed this project to help me do that.
I took real world city structural data and then conformed it to a helix shape in Houdini. I then lit and pushed what I have dubbed "Helix Prime" into a variety of scenarios and used Photoshop to push it the rest of the way.
Check my Instagram to see some of the process:

I really enjoyed what I learned and was pretty happy with the final result. I couldn't push it too far in 3d because of my hardware limitations at home, but I think the idea comes across. Which is the real goal of a concept anyways!
