CASE STUDY
DIOR BEAUTY
Blush Brush N° 16
For this personal project, I’ve directed and produced a cinematic 3D sequence featuring a graceful collision between two makeup brushes with dynamic powder and smoke effects.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
This project explores the fusion of art direction and technical simulation. Created entirely in Houdini and rendered with Redshift, the animation combines Vellum hair dynamics, particle-driven powder, and smoke simulations to capture the elegance and energy of a beauty product in motion.
