3D artist Ben Koppel in London: “It is a self-initiated R&D undertaking that got here from learning and recreating a number of forms of mechanisms in Houdini plus my latest buy of Vitra Toolboxes. I actually cherished the fashion and design of those, so I used to be fascinated with how I might embrace them in a bit of 3D work.
“The movie was created in a number of phases. To start with, I made the field transit mechanism itself after which spent a while taking part in round with the interplay between that and the Vitra Toolbox with no objects inside. I then later changed that with a model of the Toolbox which I’d crammed with objects.
“Technically the setup was pretty easy, however managing the sheer variety of objects within the scene and making their collisions and interactions work correctly posed a little bit of a problem and was one thing I had to spend so much of time on. Lastly I exported all the pieces out of Houdini and into Cinema 4D to create my lighting, supplies and closing rendered scene.”
