The Mill - Week 1



This is the first week of SANM 560, and we’ve been brainstorming extensively to prepare our idea pitches.


Test for the Peeling Effect

I did an initial test of the peeling effect using a solver and infection system in Houdini.

I also used an instancing and particle system setup to create the flying chips effect.
After this test, the paint chip effect still wasn’t showing clearly. So, I consulted Professor Deborah, and she suggested trying Vellum instead.The chips were sticking too much to the complex shapes, so I adjusted the constraint stiffness values to better control their behavior.
