I was responsible for Hush's art animation.
Her VFX was really challenging and specific. Took me a while to get it right.

Barış Kılıç explains how he blended Mediterranean architecture with The Last of Us aesthetic in his Mediterranean Echoes scene, shares his trick for distributing polygons wisely, and reflects on the challenge of making a set of custom materials in Substance 3D Designer.
“With the main objects and angles set in both spaces, I wanted to add something of my own to the corridor, so I knocked down one of its walls to strengthen the sense of abandonment. I then added mid-sized objects to test the storytelling while still in blockout.”

Animating stylized fire is a constant battle between structure and chaos. 🔥
Consistent wind creates clean horizontal flows, but truly realistic fire relies on air turbulence to drive unpredictable back-and-forth shapes.
The sweet spot? Use the wave principle, but keep the movement angled upward instead of letting it flatline.
What’s your go-to method for balancing math vs. chaos in your FX? 👇

Variation is key to making an effect feel believable
One scrolling noise can feel monotone, and another layer of noise panning at a different speed breaks the repetition and makes an effect believably random.
Compare the before/after of the area of effect, you will see a clear difference.
This is an effect Jan Šimčík created during the Professional VFX Portfolio class with @Madamadamado, next group starts on October 18th: vfxapprentice.com/courses/po…

When you look at your own VFX for weeks, you become blind to repetition. You miss the consistent momentum, or the meshes that show how you pull off your "trick."
