How it was done

The concept started on sketches of paper as well as code sketches Daniel used. He also used a processing to develop a RnD tool for visualizing sine wave patterns and formations. The animation software he used is called  and used a tool that could create and animate waves.

According to Daniel

” Houdini proved to be a great to tool to do this project in. Its open-ended nature and visual-coding like environment meant I could think closer to the logic of a programmer while retaining all the power and functionality of a professional 3D software package. As my piece focuses on the animation of sine functions and particle systems, I found this to be a good workflow. ”
