We will go step by step, so you understand each section properly, and can adapt the principles to your unique project. We will cover every aspect needed to create a production level softbody simulation from start to final render.

We’ll look at a variety of methods to achieve the same result so you can adapt and use these principles on whatever your current project requires.

Paul Esteves

Freelance Motion Designer/3D Generalist

I’m a self taught motion designer and 3d Generalist from Durban, South Africa. However, I am now based in Munich, Germany. I love creating looping simulations in my personal explorations. I also work for studios and agencies as a 3d Generalist on a variety of projects. I use Sidefx as my primary tool and Redshift as my renderer of choice.
