Forcite

At team Mister we had the pleasure to work with a new Australian brand, Forcite Helmets to create 3D photoreal images of their new helmet system, the first of its kind in the world. The Forcite helmet has an inbuilt camera , audio and navigation system. 3D was a great way to showcase all the features of the new helmet.

My role in the project was to simulate the carbon fiber coming together and to transition between the matte and glossy versions of the helmet which I have showcased below (lighting and texturing were not done by me).

Programs Used:

Cinema 4D, X-Particles, Houdini

Process

An important part of the project was the research and development phase, which allowed us to experiment and find the most visually interesting way to fit the brief.

Below are some early explorations that I created that didnt make the final film.

For this project I mainly used Houdini for the simulations, with the exception of the carbon fiber weaving together which was made using X-particles.
