AWAKENING THE ELEMENTS - FX Simulations Deep Under The Mountains And Above

A thorough presentation of the different types of effect simulations achieved to bring to life the gigantic dwarves's caves of Khazam-dûm, deep under the mountains. Art-directed destructions, waterfalls & rivers, dust & debris, flames, atmospherics, crowd and cloth, we will walk through various types of Houdini setups - from fairly procedural to completely bespoke.

Fabian Nowak, Head of FX - FX Supervisor, The Yard VFX

I am the Head of FX and FX Supervisor at The Yard VFX. After spending about a decade in London as an FX Technical Director and FX Lead, working at some of the biggest VFX Studios - MPC and ILM - on some of the biggest blockbusters and franchises, I moved back to France and started my journey at The Yard in Paris. There, I was free to bring my passion, motivation, and dedication, to build the FX Department from the ground up. I'm having a lot of fun working along with amazing people, and making state-of-the-art effect simulations of all kinds!
