Van Gogh - Falling Leaves
3D Scan + Houdini • 2024
This project is a journey through time and nature. We used 3D scans and Houdini simulations to capture the actual leaves found at the original painting-sites of Vincent van Gogh's most iconic works.
By merging historical painting locations with modern procedural workflows, we've created a digital bridge to the past, preserving the fleeting beauty of the environment that inspired Van Gogh himself.
The resulting art pieces were created not just as a technical exercise, but as a way to finance an international art education trip, supporting the next generation of creative explorers.
