NBA Finals | Panoply | Houdini Connect

Panoply is a UK-based studio specializing in VFX, animation, and design.
In this Houdini Connect you will meet Simon Holmedal and Mark Lindner who will tell you more about their collaboration with ESPN to transform the visual experience of the 2023 NBA Finals. Their goal was to establish a flexible, procedurally-based foundation for the show's visual effects, allowing for adaptable design changes. This involved innovative techniques like manipulating texture coordinates and UV corners to achieve striking iridescence and seamless transitions from silver to gold. Panoply leveraged a PDG Network to efficiently manage information, respond to feedback, and maintain adaptability throughout the creative process, gaining the trust and confidence of ESPN.
Furthermore, Panoply developed a versatile visual aesthetic called "Shimmer," capable of adapting to various shapes, such as the trophy and team logos. This aesthetic seamlessly transitioned from iridescence to silver and ultimately to gold, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the NBA Finals show package.

This dropped nine hours ago, and there I was 16 hours ago telling myself not to spend the next week trying to figure out the layers of sim in the logo builds and the ingenious time-delayed last wavelets after each portion of the reveal. I was able to set it aside. Now you publish this thing with all its juicy hints, and I’m back to square zero. Gaaah!

In the late 90's I was doing broadcast graphics for high-end projects like this. To see how the art form is being pushed by the likes of Simon using Houdini, some 25 years later, is pretty cool.

The work VFX studio MPC had done using Houdini needs to be showcased.
