Robbert Groenendijk

I am a digital artist producing interactive & generative work. I have a background in film production and currently research interactive narratives at Aalto University. In my work I make use of code, game-engines, 3D software, electronics and anything else that gets the job done.

Somehow the dynamics of hair are always super sati Somehow the dynamics of hair are always super satisfying to watch. Did a bit of clumping and frizzling based on noise masks, so really looks like some kind of thick wool now 🐑 I think this is my favorite one out of the three dancing people I made. 🧙🏻‍♂️🙆‍♂️🔥 on to the next thing ✌️#houdini #houdinifx #3danimation #animation #digitalart #vray #vrayrender #mocap #motioncapture #majorlazer

Told you there would be more dancing here 💃🕺 Told you there would be more dancing here 💃🕺could be interesting if there would be sound for this one...

Had to do the mandatory dancing people excersice i Had to do the mandatory dancing people excersice in #houdini inspired by the well known music video. Actually made these a year ago and didn’t think they were nice enough. Fixed the colors and added motion captured camera’s this week and thought they were worth the render time 🧙🏻‍♂️🙆‍♂️👌 made three different ones, so expect some more dancing in the coming days. #houdini #houdinifx #3danimation #animation #digitalart #motioncapture #mocap #majorlazer #vray #vrayrender

Made a little hair creature 🦑 took me some time Made a little hair creature 🦑 took me some time as the walking cycle is fully procedural, the system just takes a curve and figures out by itself how to do the correct foot placement. This one has seven limbs, but it can in theory support many more! Build up of SOPs for the placement, then trace those with Particle sim. Wire sim -> softbody sim -> hair sim - loose hair sim. Then composited in Nuke, quite a ride to get to this 🧙🏻‍♂️🔥🙆‍♂️

Proud to announce that our location-based storytel Proud to announce that our location-based storytelling app Polku has won the second price in the Think Ink competition by @mediasaatio . We have been working on this prototype for the last couple months together with @johannalummeillustrator @annapuur @randompekka and this allows us to continue development 🔥🙆‍♂️ Hopefully we’ll soon have you all experience ánd create location-based stories everywhere!

Took it into Nuke to add some background rocks, sky, add lens characteristics and glow. And ofcourse many thanks to Steven Knipping for his excellent explanations on how to go about creating procedural gun-shot explosions. 🧙🏻‍♂️🔥🙆‍♂️ #houdini #houdinifx #sidefx #sidefxhoudini #3danimation #proceduralart #mediaart #digitalart #starwars #appliedhoudini #megascans

Another test when I was testing out for-loops in H Another test when I was testing out for-loops in Houdini. Somehow took some playing around to get it even though code-based for-loops are second nature 🧐.

Doing some testing with volumes. These are actuall Doing some testing with volumes. These are actually three simulations of the exact same settings but different voxel counts. 150 -> 300 -> 600 voxels across. Quite interesting to see how much it affects the look. At this scale & distance I probably like the 300 voxel one the most 🙆‍♂️🧙🏻‍♂️ #sidefxhoudini #digitalart #3danimation #procedural

Coding some colorful shaders again 🧙🏻‍♂️🙆‍♂️ combining worley & value noise fragment shaders. Feeding in two colored value noises to multiply with the highs and lows of the worley.

More prototyping PCBs! This is an active adapter m More prototyping PCBs! This is an active adapter mounted on a Raspberry Pi 4 that allows me to drive the 24 led modules I have with just one Raspberry Pi.

Prototyping is going well so far. 🧙🏻‍♂️👌 #teensy #kuvataideviikot #prototype #electronics #microcontroller #mediaart
