Salomon – XA Alpine 2
This project marks another step forward in my Houdini journey. As a longtime fan of the Salomon brand, I seized this opportunity to showcase my skills in modeling, texturing, and motion design. For this piece, I learned to craft a shoe by modeling the sole and simulating the sock portion. The texturing was primarily handled in Substance Designer, with additional details refined in Substance Painter. I procedurally built the particle simulations and scene entirely within Houdini, and rendering was completed in Solaris using Karma. No physical props were used in the process.
