Sturm
Sturm is a small experimental side project to understand some new techniques, learn new skills and diving into Nuke for compositing. Everything was done in Houdini - Solaris and rendered with Karma XPU.

Breakdown
The complete scene was build and rendered in Houdini. Each setup was exported as an USD file and was used in Solaris for rendering. The workflow is very fast and easy to get into.
Learned many new techniques and tips along the way. Many thanks to the kind and nice people in the CGWiki community!

This was the first project where i used Nuke to composite different layers and add effects in post. I am still at the beginning but working with AOVs and separate layers offers many new ways to level up your render. Excited to dive into it even more.
