HOUDINI FX TD SHOWREEL 2022 - Nabil Jabour

Hey all !
Here's my Junior FX reel !
After 3 years of learning Houdini (self-taught), and 2 years of experience in the industry, I can finally build a reel that I'm proud of.
It contains a mix of personal and pro projects.
In that order :
1) Massive Explosion Project (2021) : Just a personal project. Full breakdown available in my channel.
2) Train Smoke (2019) : My first production project during my internship at Benuts (Belgium).
3) Cigarette (2020) : Personal project. Full breakdown in my channel.
4) The Shadow in My Eyes (2020-2021) : My first big project in production. Had to do a lot of procedural modeling (alongside Bruno Pollet who was the lead of the project). Also some plane FXs.
Can't show all the shots because I still don't have access to them. What you see is from the movie trailer.
5) The Call - League of Legends (2021) : Did a lot of magic FX. Had a lot of fun ! Company is Unit Image and the client is Riot Games. #Riot #Lol #League #Legends #clip

There's one major mistake in this reel. The title. This ain't Jr. work my man. It's outstanding. "Houdini FX reel 2022 - Nabil Jabour" more like it.

[@Thorpe14]

Agree, this is not junior work... You're massively underselling yourself!

[@MaxChe]

JUNIOR HOUDINI?? Seriously? This is at least the level of "Senior" Excellent work, congratulations!

Брат, красиво!

[@jelielgo9383]

[@edh615]

Dope reel man! I are these 1:08 procedural volumes or is anything simulated?

[@njfx]

Hey ! No simulation at all ! :) I'll try to make a short tutorial about it soon

[@Lost_Dawn]

Have spent probably 2 months all together trying to find a website or video that has or shows several hundred or more procedurally or randomly generated land vehicles. Maybe someone on Houdini...

[@aminebenafla]

[@MisterMatter]

If you worked for RIOT... My dude you are no longer a Junior, you are a Mid/Senior.

[@feiloq5881]

Amazing work!!! I've always been weak at making magic FX... I want to know, is 1:05 there the polygons with many many primitives? so the noise applied there looks without gaps. And what attributes did you use to determine the color and intensity ramp? and 0:50 there the smoke-liked magic, I think is very very cool! how can I re-do that? is pyro sim or the particles? Thanks

[@njfx]

Thanks ! For 1:05 , its a noise driven bu uv and yes there's quite the amount of points ! Like 150K points in total i think. The noise is used for the color and the intensity ramp. There's also an "intensit by height" ramp. at 0:50 , its a particle sim using pop curve force + pop force. Nothing else ! I have around 60M particles.

[@feiloq5881]

@@njfx Thanks for your answer~~I would try it

[@lin1643]

You are middle or senior but definitely not a beginner

[@camerongrenier5405]

Tutorial on 1:10 ?

[@njfx]

Yes ! Soon!

[@beardirty6081]

@@njfx Dude, I've been waiting for your tutorial.I have also been trying this effect recently, can you tell me what type of noise you use?Very appreciate!

[@njfx]

@@beardirty6081Sorry for the wait! Been very busy lately. Still planned though. I use a regular turbulentNoiseVOP running through the UVs instead of P. The noise type was Simplex !

[@beardirty6081]

@@njfx Yes, I also use uv, but I tried many times and finally chose original noise. Thanks for your advice, I will try simplex noise again.

[@njfx]

@@beardirty6081 Except for Perlin and Alligator, any noise should work. It's probably a matter of tweaking the correct frequency values in u and v.

[@alanng2555]

Low key flexing with the "Junior" thing eh.
