Cherries in Water – the Water Pass with Houdini FLIP
Personal project, 2024 – simulated with Houdini FLIP, rendered with Octane Render in Cinema 4D, compositing in After Effects.
About the project
This personal project from 2024 shows halved cherries with stems slowly floating through a dark red space together with clear water splashes.
The clip is the water pass for Cherries and Milk: the same scene, here with just cherries and water, without the creamy liquid. This makes it easy to see how water and fruit behave on their own.
Technique
The simulation was done with Houdini's FLIP solver, with the cherries acting as collision objects off which the water bounces and breaks into droplets.
The scene was assembled in Cinema 4D and rendered with Octane Render. Compositing and colour grading were done in After Effects.
