Houdini Vellum - Fill a cup with a Rubber Toy

This project was an artistic and technical experiment using Houdini’s Vellum solver. My goal was to simulate a playful interaction between a cup and a variety of test rubber toy geometrie. I went through a series of tests and refinements, until I achieved a visually appealing result. The scene was rendered entirely in Houdini’s LOPs karma context, using a USD-based workflow.
