The Floating Lanterns Project was done in Houdini using a particle sistem simulation with points, then i modelled the three different tipes of lanterns procedurally. Textured using redshift materials. Then i copied those lanterns randomly in the points of the simulation. Using a tool we created in class i determined how much my camera was going to see of those lanterns and limited how many lanterns were going to render.

Then i composited the background, the blur and the glowing in Nuke.
