Bosch Sensors – Colourful Smoke with Houdini and Embergen
Client work for Bosch, 2025 – simulation with Houdini and Embergen, assembled in Cinema 4D, rendered with Octane Render.
About the project
This project from 2025 was created on behalf of Bosch: a particle animation in which colorful smoke and mist surround a sensor product. The animation is part of an interactive product presentation, recognizable by on-screen UI elements like "rotate left".
The goal was a high-end, technical look that underscores the product's precision – with flowing, colorful particle streams visualizing motion and energy without distracting from the product itself.
Technique
The smoke and mist simulation was built as a blend of Houdini and Embergen – two specialized tools for gas and volumetric simulation, with results combined to achieve the desired density and color dynamics.
Everything was assembled in Cinema 4D, where the product, lighting and camera were set up. The final scene was rendered with Octane Render.
