Volcanic Euruption - Houdini - 3D modelling and VFX

This is a piece I wanted to challenge myself with as a mixture of modelling, texturing and CGI/VFX compositing. The mountain was generated using Houdini's heightfield, as well as textured.

The volcanic lava, pyro embers and smoke clouds were also generated in Houdini. Then the composite was created in Photoshop and the final render was achieved in DaVinci Resolve.
