Engine Thruster Created with Axiom by Houdini artist

Hunter Williams, a talented artist and Houdini user, created a stunning engine thruster using Axiom, a GPU accelerated simulation software that enables artists to create high-end effects such as fire, smoke, and pyrotechnics. This project is just a small part of a larger workshop focused on magic FX techniques in Houdini, and we're excited to see what else Williams has in store.

Axiom is a powerful tool that has been tried and tested in professional environments, from blockbuster movies to indie projects. It allows artists to bring their creative visions to life with stunning realism and impressive detail. What sets it apart is the ability to run true sparse simulations fully on a GPU

In the video of the engine thruster, we can see the incredible effects created with Axiom in action. The fire and smoke look incredibly realistic, and the overall effect is truly impressive.

If you want to see more of Williams' work, be sure to check out his website. His portfolio showcases a wide range of impressive projects, and it's clear that he is a talented artist with a deep understanding of Houdini. Here we are attaching some of his work, have a look.

Overall, we're excited to see what Williams has in store for the rest of the workshop and can't wait to see more of his work in the future. If you're interested in magic FX techniques in Houdini, be sure to check out the workshop by Rebelfx.
