XK studio: Morphing Reality | XK studio | OFFF HIVE 2024

Whether it's using musical annotations, 3D scans or motion capture data, XK studio looks to apply strong art direction intentions to morph reality into something new and unexpected using Houdini as their main tool.
Lukas Vojir is a co-founder and creative director of XK studio looking after the technical and motion aspects of XK outputs. At OFFF he will be presenting XK's take on reality through the projects done in the past year.
Stephan Helbing is a London based artist working at XK studio with a deep curiosity for 3D scanning and simulation driven design in Houdini. He will be showing technical breakdowns of different XK projects including flowers, photogrammetry tricks and slitscan effects.
