During quarantine in 2020, there was this beautiful patch of Hibiscus outside my apartment. I was so moved by it, and I felt possessed to make a project about a flower growing.

In 2023, I remade parts of this project for my demo reel, you can see those frames below.

PROCESS

Most of the simulation work was done in X-Particles, save for the pyro simulations which were done with EmberGen. The flower and seeds were modeled procedurally utilizing C4D's volume builder tool. The backgrounds were slapped together, using noise displacement on top of spheres with an image texture!
