2017 FX Demo Reel

My name is Jinguang Huang, an FX intern at SideFX software. I graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in Visual Effects Master of Arts program on March 2017. Currently, I am looking for full-time FX Artist or FX TD opportunity. This is my 2017 version demo reel, the breakdown as follow:

1. Building Explosion - FX (Pyro, RBD), Lighting, Compositing
Software: Houdini, Maya, Nuke
This is a project during the internship at SideFX. The layers including: building destruction layer, debris layer, main explosion layer, building debris dust layer, spark layer, fire layer and smoke trails layer.

2. Storm in a Teacup - FX (Ocean, Flip, Cloud, Lightning, Cloth, Rain), Lighting, Compositing
Software: Houdini, Nuke
This is a project during the internship at SideFX. All FX done in Houdini. The FX layers including: ocean surface layer, foam, spray, bubble layer, mist layer, cloud, sail cloth, rain. For the lightning FX, I created a lightning generator digital asset base on VEX.
3. Castle Siege Battle - FX (Crowd, Pyro, RBD), Lighting, Compositing
Software: Houdini, Maya, Nuke
The FX including: crowd simulation, siege tower destruction simulation, pyro simulation, arrows(particle) simulation, cloud simulation and fog effects.

4. Stream Scene - FX (Flip), Lighting, Compositing
Software: Houdini, Nuke
Fluid simulation base on flip solver in Houdini. The layers including: water surface layer, foam, spray, cluster layer, bubble layer, mist layer, floating woods layer, wet map, environment layer and Rocks layer.

5. Tank Firing - All Aspects - 3D tracking, FX (Pyro, RBD), Lighting, Compositing, Modeling, Texture, Rigging and Animation
Software: Houdini, Nuke, Maya, Mari, Photoshop
This is a project about 3D camera tracking. After I get the tracking done, I exported the camera and guide geometry into Houdini and match the CG elements base on the camera and guide geometry. I was using my tank model and create the pyro FX and RBD FX in Houdini.
