“Still Life” (WIP)
There is still life in the dark.
A beautiful tree clings to a cliffside, despite the danger and destruction surrounding it, still preserving life and love with it’s eternal hope. Created in memory of my uncle John, this still-working piece has been one of my biggest deep dives into both Houdini, and personal storytelling. Additionally, I got to dive into learning USD!
